Aislinn & David Wedding - April 5, 2008

The beginning of the 08' spring/summer wedding season kicked off with a great wedding at the Yale Club of NY. Below are a few of my favorites from the wedding plus a link to check out more at the bottom of the post.

Meeting up at the Yale Club's gorgeous staircase lobby.

We went to Grand Central to take portraits.

The Yale Club has a classic phone booth on the 2nd floor which is perfect for campy portraits.

They had their wedding ceremony at the gorgeous Church of Savior on 38St and Park Ave. The church is like 3 blocks away from my apartment on 34th St. I pass by it every other day and it was nice to finally get a chance to shoot there.
