The New York Botanical Garden is one of my absolute favorite venues to photograph weddings.

As a nature lover,  it is a dream to photograph a wedding at NYBG,  as there are endless backdrops to work with that look beautiful in any season.

The New York Botanical Gardens is now a National Historic Landmark containing over one million plants as well as the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, a Victorian-style Greenhouse.

 Caitlin wore a Pronovias wedding gown and cape.

I had never photographed a bride wearing a wedding cape before and I hope this time will not be my last.

I was smitten with it!

Her wedding dress ensemble with the cape was stunning, unique and a lot of fun to photograph – fitting her and her personality perfectly.

Sharing some of my favorites from their special day.

As an animal lover and pet owner, I totally understand this.

Chase was either sitting on Cait’s lap, following her around or staring at her with goo goo eyes from a distance the whole morning.

Both Moms, along with Caitlin’s Dad and bridesmaid worked really hard to steam/iron out the wrinkles of her wedding dress and cape.

I love Robert’s jaw dropping expression upon seeing his beautiful bride.

Caitlin and Robert wanted their family and bridal party present for their first look.

I asked if they would consider not using their Cell phones. I am so glad that everyone agreed.

Had everyone used their cell phones I would not have been able to capture their reactions being present in the moment.

I love their emotional expressions in the background, much better than staring at an electronic device.
