Adina + Rami: Married

Where to begin? The story of Adina and Rami is effervescent and beautiful, just as they are to each other and to everyone they encounter. Last year I was contacted by Rami's mom in search of a photographer for her son's wedding; her last son to get married. I had met the family once before when I helped Kelly Prizel photograph Jared's wedding, one of Karyn's other sons. We had a great conversation and I looked forward to meeting Rami and Adina.

I met up with Adina and Rami in NYC at Magnolia bakery in February and after little time knew "these kids," as Karyn referred to them, were going to be so much fun to work with. We scheduled their LovE-Session in April at Elizabeth Park and despite the sometimes breezy weather (okay, it was cold), they laughed and smiled and made anyone who saw them want to fall in love all over again.

Spring forward to September 18, 2011: their wedding day. My good friend and exceptional photographer Seth Kaye joined me to photograph one of the most exuberant Jewish weddings I have ever photographed. To say that Adina and Rami and their guests like to dance is an understatement:) And they danced until they could dance no more, all with huge smiles on their faces. And while the day was also filled with many beautiful traditions, prayers, toasts, touching sentiments and more dancing, the significance of these two souls coming together was never lost.

Adina and Rami, mazel tov! I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness. And for all of the goodness you put forth in this world, may you also receive the same gift of love. Enjoy!
