Portraits
September 8th, 2006 @ 1:19 pm by Mrs. Firefly
While the guests were eating the yummy cocktail hour food, we took family photos and then Mr. Firefly and I went off to take pictures on our own. I originally want to drive around the city to get some urban photos, but ultimately, was a bit scared of getting caught in traffic and being late to our own reception! Instead, we drove down to South Street Seaport and finished off the photos in Battery Park. We got a few nice pictures at the Seaport, but I almost wish we just stayed in Battery Park and enjoyed a portion of the cocktail hour.
Don’t worry, I won’t post a bazillion family photos. This is the entire family and bridal party… not a very large group.
While Leah was taking group shots, her assistant took some great closeups:
We took the taxi to and from the Seaport:
I wish I had bustled my dress and taken my veil off before we headed over… getting around was a drag and one of my shoes got caught in between the wood boards (I lost a heel tip)!
Why do we look so dorky walking? I don’t think that we can “fake” natural pictures very well. 
And then it was back to Battery Park:
… the reception is next, and then I’m done with the photo posts!

You looked gorgeous, and your ML gown is to die for!!!
You guys don’t look dorky at all! Looked very natural to me. =) I REALLY like that pic of u two looking at each other. It’s so artistic, in my opinion. It’s like a picture straight out of a wedding catalog. You two could be wedding models! =D
Mrs. Firefly,
A little off topic, but I was wondering if you would email me about your Ketubah…it is the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen, but I can’t find it on the website you recommended….do you know the artist? If so, please email me at StatumSA@aol.com
You look SO beautiful!!! Your dress is exactly what I have been looking for. If you are willing, please-please-please post the designer info, please? Thanks!!

About Me: I was born in the city of Donetsk in the former Soviet Union (now the Ukraine) and grew up in Brooklyn. Many of my parent's friends are from Russia and the Ukraine as well. We want all of our guests to have a great time and hit the dance floor so we've hired a band that can play both Russian and American music; not to mention a mean rendition of the Gypsy Kings and chair-raising hora!
I love all of your pictures Mrs. Firefly. I really like the one in the cab where he is looking at you, and I love the lighting in the kiss one near the end — it’s so romantic!
