After a lovely ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Courtney & Kevin had a gorgeous reception at The Mandarin Oriental. Andy at Fred Marcus shared some fantastic shots with us that really highlight the great space & views at the Mandarin Oriental, and the amazing floral creations from DeJuan Stroud.
The taxicab cookies were a very cute favor, especially given the mostly out-of-town guest list, and Jen from our team had a great time racing against herself to fill the empty spots the SECOND someone took one away 
Congratulations, Courtney & Kevin!

What a fantastic, gorgeous, inspiring day! The rain kept to Friday and gave us a beautiful day for 24 weddings at Merchant’s Gate in Central Park.
When I arrived at 6AM (!) I tried to capture some of the calm before the storm, and the construction of the 2 chapels.
Here are our first weddings of the day – Bryn & Leila in the Ribbon Chapel and Ken & Clay in Kiss!
One of my favorite things all day was how the Ribbon Chapel caught the sun and made rainbows on the ground inside the chapel. Reminded me of Pollyanna’s prisms.
Mayra from Always A Bridesmaid stopped by to capture our team in action.
Team JAM inside Ribbon!
Congratulations to all the couples, and many thanks to the Parks Department, the NYPD, the officiants & photographers who donated their time & efforts, and ALL the sponsors & volunteers – we definitely couldn’t have done it without you all!
