Danny and David
Our photographers took full advantage of the perfect weather there was in NYC when shooting the The View at the Battery wedding of Danny and David. Housed in Manhattan, this wedding venue is perfect for its capability to host any kind of marriage from intimate to extravagant, from traditional to unexpected and always able to create the ideal wedding of the spouses with its elegantly appointed functions rooms which well represent Manhattan’s elegance and beauty.
Danny was a professional ballroom dancer, David worked in a publishing company and most of their guests were from dancing business, even a brother choreographer in the reality show “So you think you can dance”. Considering the background, it goes without saying that the theme they chose for their wedding in the Battery Gardens was Dance.
We started shooting and filming the couple while they were getting ready and helping each other. After everybody was ready, finally the ceremony began. David’s nieces brought the rings and the ring ceremony began. David said his vows in French making the entire ceremony even more poetic. Right after the ceremony, respecting the Jewish tradition, the couple broke the glass and started the Jewish dancing. Everything was so bright, so poetic and so colourful and the sunflowers that made everything magic.
A friend dedicated a few words to the adorable couple and recalled some of the most salient impressions of Danny and David’s love story that began 10 years before their marriage regardless of their age, language and cultural difference; stronger than the issues of the long distance relationship, the health and the everyday ones all the couples have.
Danny & David also had some surprises for Danny’s brother and David’s father and were more than happy to share the limelight with Mighty, their French bulldog, very cute to film and photograph. Although there was a nice surprise for all their guests, a touching In memoriam song played by the cello.
For most of Danny and David’s guests, it was the first experience of same sex wedding but they all were very happy to be there and witness such a deep love story, friendship and understanding becoming a family.
We were very honored to be a part of this amazing couple’s big day, had a great time shooting and filming them and their guests. Congrats, Danny & David and thank you for making us part of your precious day!
