Brooklyn Newlywed Photo Session by Studio Uma

From the bride... I was looking for a dress with vintage and bohemian elements and silhouette that was different than most wedding dresses I came across. As a fashion stylist, I try to find designs that are unique and something that has a "wow factor." This dress did exactly that. It was the first dress I tried on—I knew right away—at Adrienne's boutique on Orchard St in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It was designed by the owner's daughter, Gina DeSilva, and I love that it was not only an indie designer, but she also used vintage lace! The sample fit right off the rack and I had a few things tailored to what I wanted. The best part was that everyone thought I looked beautiful when I walked down the aisle, but then the surprise of the cut out on the back made it even more show stopping. I don't think Josh noticed the back until after the ceremony, and he said, Wow! I'm glad I married you.
I relate my photoshoot at 5 Beekman to be like my real life Sex & The City moment, complete with the dramatic head piece! It was magical and I imagine it to be something Carrie Bradshaw would have wanted to do if she were more of a downtown girl. The rustic palace was the perfect setting for pictures with my vintage-inspired wedding!
It was serendipitous that Uma suggested to go take pictures in Brooklyn Bridge Park! Josh and I talked about getting elements of Brooklyn into our wedding day, but sadly it was too much of a hassle to trek everyone over to that park or any other landscape that read specifically "Brooklyn." I get the chills when I see the images of us together with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. It's so romantic! So us! I still can't believe that was all captured so perfectly and it looks like it was a scene from a film!
