Shiri + Michael // Fall Wedding // The Desmond

November 16, 2013 was an absolutely gorgeous fall day. We lucked out with a burst of warm weather just for Shiri and Michael. The day started at The Desmond Hotel where all of the festivities were taking place. After our beautiful bride was dressed we headed outside to take advantage of the warm weather and some fantastic light – as we all know it gets dark so quickly this time of year. Both Shiri and Michael are very close with their family and they both had their siblings as part of the bridal party.

The Desmond Hotel was a wonderful venue for Shiri and Michael’s wedding. We had so many different areas to photograph and enjoy the day. In particular, I love the images that we captured on the balcony overlooking the courtyard where the ceremony was held.

It was a blast working with some stellar vendors including Al from Al Wade Films and Vinny from Cool Cat DJ.

I loved spending time with your families. It was wonderful capturing your wedding day. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

Enjoy!

I just love this shot of Shiri’s gorgeous Kate Spade shoes and her sash!

She selected a stunning dress and modified the straps (which I think was a wonderful addition). I also love the pop of blue in her bouquet

Lots of loving and helping hands to get her ready.

I love this image of Shiri’s father – you can just see how proud he is.

I was SO glad that we were able to go outside for a few shots before the ceremony. I love this one of the family.

And our stunning bride! I was so excited about the light – oh and did I mention that it was one of the warmest days this fall?

Such beautiful sisters…

Michael was looking dapper in his tux

One of the awesome features in The Desmond is the indoor courtyard and the rooms with balconies. This was the view of the ceremony and cocktail reception.
