Julia & Charles – Wedding at the Palm House, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, NY

Julia & Charles got married at the Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  This is our favorite picture of the lovely couple.  The photo looks a bit surreal with the hazy lantern light and the floating lily pads, doesn’t it?  Definitely doesn’t look like Brooklyn.

Look at the expression on Julia’s face as Charles is saying his wedding vows.  It speaks volumes about her love for him.

Little did we know that Julia has an absolutely magnificent voice.  During the reception, she sang “Unforgettable” to her new husband.  In case you don’t know the song, it’s originally by Nat King Cole and the lyrics go something like this:

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

It was very moving and as you can see from Charles’ face, he was touched to the core.

The Palm House is a beautiful place.  It looks like a gigantic glass house festooned with merry lights.  We know from past experience that kids LOVE an empty dance floor.  Not sure why, but it seems to call out to them and inevitably, they will be running around it.  And, of course, Julia & Charles’ little guests were no exception.

Julia recently came to see us to do her album and she said again that everyone who sees her photos loves them.  In her words “the photos are AMAZING!  They came out so great- thank you again!” 

From the constant smiles on Julia & Charles’ faces, we could tell that they really enjoyed their wedding.  In fact, during the reception, Charles said that he and Julia were having the time of their lives.  Thank you, Julia & Charles, for inviting us to be a part of the “time of your lives”,
