I have never seen such emotion before, during, and after a wedding as I was priviledged to witness on August 17th.
My photographer friend Terry Michael told me about this couple in June and I am so glad that they decided to have me document their day! Sharon and David could not have picked a more beautiful setting for their traditional Jewish ceremony than atop the Fulton Street Market at Bridgewaters, just steps away from the Brooklyn Bridge.
The bride was absolutely radiant. Surrounded by her beloved nephews, and close family, she wept as the Groom was brought in to see her for the first time during the Bedeken. The emotion continued thoughout the ceremony where David could not keep his eyes (as well as his hands!) off his bride. They said their vows under a 103 year old tallis as their Chupa, and there was not a dry eye in the house!
After the ceremony, Terry and I swept them away for some great, spontaneous shots outside in the Seaport Square, where they received many “Mazel Tov’s” from the Sunday crowds!
Up for anything….these two then walked a few blocks so that we could take some photographs right by the Brooklyn Bridge; well worth the walk!
Following the world’s longest hora, there were touching speeches, great music, and David’s first dance with his “Jersey Girl”! Simply the best love story that I have documented in a long time. Mr. and Mrs. Topper, it was my honor
