Real Wedding – Under My Umbrella In The Hamptons
Pearl & Michael ♥ New York, USA
Photographer: Artvesta Studio
If you have any concerns about it raining on your wedding day, just take a look at today’s delightful destination day in the Hamptons.
Pearl and Michael chose Montauk, on the eastern-most tip of Long Island in the Hamptons for their stylish soiree and they prove that the odd rain shower doesn’t need to dampen your spirits; it can instead add to the fun, be entertaining and even add a little more romanticism to your day – you get to snuggle under your umbrella with your hubby for a start!
A rosy red, fresh mint and pretty pink palette worked wonderfully with Pearl’s beautiful, beaded 1920s bridal look. Inspired by The Great Gatsby, Pearl and Michael certainly hosted a celebration to remember.
Real Wedding – Empire State Elopement
Ailin & J ♥ New York City, USA
Photographer: Artvesta Studio
What a whirlwind adventure this cute couple had! Ailin and J are from Beijing in China and they decided on an Empire State of Mind elopement to NYC.
After seeing a photo by Tatiana Valerie of Artvesta Studio in an issue of the British Harper’s Bazaar magazine and being so inspired by the image of Olga Kvitko’s classical silk organza and French lace gown, they contacted Tatiana and asked her if she could not only photograph their elopement to New York City but also asked for her help to plan the details too.
Calling on friends and connections within the industry, Tatiana managed to come up trumps and 48hours later Ailin and J arrived in The Big Apple and had their City Hall wedding. The newly weds were then taken on a tourist tour around the city that never sleeps, visiting the Top of the Rock with views of The Empire State Building, then off to the world famous Flatiron Building and of course they ended their fun-filled day with the bright lights of Times Square as the backdrop.
