On this freezing cold February afternoon, I am daydreaming of warmer weather, and my mind keeps wandering up the street to Prospect Park.
So this seems the perfect day to share the photos Claudio and I took at C.C. and Vanessa’s wedding on one of the hottest days of the summer in July.
The forecast warned of 100 degree weather that morning and the park was close to empty, which added to the perfect dreaminess of the day – a beautiful ceremony under a tree overlooking the park. picnic baskets. deliciousness from Porchetta. vegemite. friends & family sing-a-longs. cornhole tosses and bocce games. baseballs and beach balls. kite-flying. bubbles. gold shoes to bring good luck and fortune in the year of the dragon.
By late afternoon, the few people far away in the park were drawn towards the wedding hillside by the music of the Red Hook Ramblers, and everyone danced into the evening.

In May and June of last year, Claudio and I photographed some beautiful out-of-town weddings in Washington, D.C. and Tennessee.

I want to wish a very Happy One Year Anniversary to these wonderful friends ~ your weddings were stunning and so much fun!
