Lincy & Michael’s Spring Wedding at The Palm House

All week the forecast was predicting rain for the Saturday of Michael & Lincy’s wedding, but I paid no mind. In my experience the forecast is never even close to being reliably right until the day before the wedding… sure enough the weather shifted and we had a gorgeous day (if a little chilly). This was an early one– we started shooting at 7:30 am so we would have enough time to do their first look and all the portraits before the ceremony, after which they got to go enjoy their cocktail hour. What a fantastic time of year to get married at The Palm House! So many flowers just beginning to bloom… we had a gorgeous bunch of magnolia trees around the patio where I was able to shoot the groups, check it out! I also fell in love with a hill of daffodils that was ripe for a background. It was nice to shoot this wedding with almost exclusively daylight, thanks to the amazing glass ceiling at The Palm House and the afternoon reception schedule. We set up our open-air photobooth and the guests went nuts with the funny props one of the mothers had gathered for the occasion. After the reception I sent Ryan & Nick home and went back to their hotel to shoot some of the roof party they had planned for their guests. Shooting Michael and his uncles by the rooftop scotch’n’cigar bar was definitely a high point, as was the sunset over the skyline view from their roof. Congratulations to Lincy & Michael and a big thanks to my excellent 2nd shooter Ryan & my wonderful new assistant Nick for the fantastic help with this wedding!
