Stacey and JJ were married at the beautiful and historic Flushing Town Hall<\/a> in Queens in November.\u00a0 At one time this building contained an actual jail– in fact the room Stacey got ready in as a ‘bridal suite’ of sorts still has the antique jail cell door on it, so naturally we had to take a picture of her “behind bars!” (see it in the slideshow below).\u00a0 These days it houses the\u00a0Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts<\/a>, and is home to many performances, gallery shows, and events, serving as a welcoming community hub. I was delighted to capture a wedding in this unique venue– and a unique wedding it was indeed!\u00a0 Stacey and JJ made this event their own and incorporated little details that were special to them and so fun to shoot.\u00a0 Early on JJ let me know that instead of the traditional guys getting ready in a hotel room he’d rather spend that time taking pictures with his grooms-people (not all groomsmen!\u00a0 refreshing!) at Citifield, home of his beloved Mets.\u00a0 My 2nd shooter had a field day with this, and they got a bunch of neat shots there. Instead of the traditional boutennieres, they all chose an action figure to carry in their jacket pocket, which was super cute and I’d never seen this idea before.\u00a0 They did their ceremony up on the stage in the main hall under lovely floral Chuppah, and instead of having the florist take it down they kept it up and put their sweetheart table underneath it so they could look out at the whole reception from there with tables for their friends on either side of them.\u00a0 It worked beautifully and I loved getting to shoot from the different angles afforded by the stage and balcony in this space.\u00a0 To top the night off, when it came time to ‘cut the cake,” Stacey and JJ had one more surprise for us– instead of the traditional route, they opted to break apart a giant black and white cookie, another favorite of theirs.\u00a0 I had so much fun capturing this wonderful day with Stacey and JJ– congratulations you two!<\/div>\n
