Janine + Jerry Photography by Maria

When: May 27, 2007
The ceremony and the reception: The New York Botanical Garden, Staten Island, New York

Janine and Jerry got married. And Agnes and I were the lucky photographers that got to shoot their wedding.
The place: An incredibly beautiful reproduction of a Chinese garden in Staten island: wavy organic architecture filled up with an explosion of flowers and trees around a pond. A little paradise. The couple: Janine is a drop dead gorgeous chinese-american that carried her heavy dress as if she was born to be a princess. Although she is a sportive non-make-up down to earth gal when she is not getting married!! And Jerry is a big blue eyed sweetheart that treated Janine with royal deference. They were surrounded by warm family members and friends and, what can I say, it really felt like love was in the air... everybody was utterly nice and obviously happy to be there.
After the wedding Janine and Jerry had invited all their volley pals for a pic-nick at the little league field right next to the Chinese gardens. They played some ball in their wedding outfits and then changed into more suitable clothes to really join in (this is the first time I shoot a bride getting OUT of her wedding dress!!).
They met in central park playing volley, so what a perfect way of ending their wedding day!!

Thanks Janine and Jerry to trust us with your wedding pictures.

Best wishes,
Maria.
