Laura & Alex’s Wedding at the Yale Club, NYC, NY

Laura & Alex contacted us in April to chat about wedding photography, but we had actually already heard about their wedding from our building superintendent, Juan.  “Hmm…that’s strange” you must be saying to yourselves – why would Juan know?  Because Laura is his daughter!  We’ve known Juan for many years now as our diligent, no-nonsense Super.  Juan the Father we had never met until a few weeks ago.  James and I had no clue what to expect and we were excited to see how this man we’ve known for so long would act on his daughter’s wedding day.  From the first minute he walked into the room, we knew that Juan the Father is a very loving man.  It’s obvious that Laura is the apple in his eye.  Look at this touching embrace when Juan sees his daughter for the first time on her wedding day.

A few last things for the happy couple before they leave for the church.  Laura reads the card that Alex gave her while her husband-to-be and his boys pose for a nice photo.

Laura & Alex got married at St. Ignatius Loyola on the Upper East Side.  We’re on the Upper East Side and had never been to this magnificent church.  Look at this – absolutely stunning!

As we head up together in the limo, Laura told us that she had gone to Catholic School at St. Ignatius Loyola as well.  How wonderful to walk as a woman on your wedding day into the church that you had known so well as a child!

After being newly married, a moment to reflect and enjoy…

before heading out to the cheers of the crowd.

Now, off to the Yale Club to celebrate…

and to dance as husband-and-wife.

Laura & Alex’s close friends & family made speeches to toast the happy couple.  Juan’s speech in particular touched us since we know him so well.  His words were straight from the heart and he talked to Laura as if there was noone else in the room – a loving father telling his daughter that she could always come to him.

The Maid of Honor spoke and brought tears to Laura’s eyes…

and the Best Man’s words brought hoots of laughter.

With their only son, Alex’s Mom and Dad celebrated on this important day for their family.

More fun and partying before…

some final portraits in the beautiful Yale Club…

and on its roof.  Look at that view!

Congrats to the newly-minted Mr. & Mrs. Campbell!  May every day be as joyful for you as your wedding day!
