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
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.
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!
We’re all amped up over here, preparing for this Saturday’s fantastic event: Pop Up Chapel with The Knot! What started as an idea among a group of friends celebrating marriage equality in NY has evolved into a full blown wedding extravaganza. We’ll be marrying 24 same-sex couples in two custom designed chapels at the Columbus Circle entrance to Central Park, starting at 11AM on Saturday.
We’re lucky to be working alongside an awesome group of people on the main planning committee with the crew from Pop Up Chapel and The Knot. The folks over at Architizer ran the design competition for the chapels. The lucky 24 couples will be getting flowers from David Stark Design, cupcakes from CityCakes, dedicated photographers to capture their day and a bunch of other goodies as well.
Come by Saturday to catch the action in person and cheer our couples on, and make sure to follow Just About Married and Pop Up Chapel on Twitter, for behind the scenes tidbits during the event.
