Michelle and Rick

Long Island, NY

Michelle and Rick are as real as it gets.  These two are made for each other, you can just feel it when you are around them.  (Oh, and should I say it people??… daaaaaarling dress!!)  Michelle and her girls were styled by the fabulous Ms. Erica from PodSpa

The wedding party was a riot – so many personalities and a whole lot of ink!

The ceremony, cocktail and reception took place at Dowling College – an old W.K. Vanderbilt property transformed into a private college campus.  The property was lush and the details were immeasurable – Rick and Michelle certainly scoped out a gem of a location to celebrate.

The ceremony was about 10 seconds long – the quickest ceremony I have ever seen and then it was time for more portraits!  (ya, we are pretty damn lucky to have such rad clients)

Rick also arranged to have some eye candy there which made JMC even happier than he already was…

And on with the reception – it was a lot of fun, dancing and laughter – everything you want when all of your friends and family come together

As I began with this post, Rick and Michelle are truly the kind of people that I can appreciate – real, down to earth and loving.  Being that Rick is also a very talented photographer, we are super lucky and completely honored to have taken part in this heart-stirring day!
