Rochelle and David at Angel Orensanz Foundation, II
We are SO happy to be featuring Erik Ekroth’s beautiful images from David & Rochelle’s winter wedding today … this very special day!
We are in LOVE with SMP’s new site design and are so eager to bring you lots and lots and lots {!} of new galleries of stunning weddings from the best of the best … Style Me Pretty’s fabulous Little Black Book Vendors!!!
I’m also really intrigued by Rochelle and David’s wedding venue! It’s amazing … like being encased in a fairytale come true.
So I had to do a little digging … Here’s what I read, “The Angel Orensanz Center itself is a neo-gothic building which was designed as a synagogue in 1849 by Berlin architect Alexander Seltzer. He drew inspiration for his design from the cathedral of Cologne and the German romantic movement of Heinrich Heine and Beethoven. This structure witnessed the birth of the Jewish reform movement in America, but after the decay of the Yiddish Lower East Side – after World War II – dozens of synagogues and other significant structures disappeared. Angel Orensanz bought this venerable structure in 1986, first for his own studio, and then to make it again a beacon of education and culture in the city of New York. The Foundation produces every year several cultural events such the Heinrich Heine Festival, the West Belfast-New York City Festival, Berlin Transfer (a symposium of philosophers and scientists with the Senate of Berlin), the Installation Art Award and publishes Artscape, a quarterly of the arts.”
David & Rochelle certainly found a stunning site for their wedding and celebration!
Catering by Simply Divine … Superb Event Coordination by In Any Event ~ Eyal Tessler and Leslie Price. The wonderful floral decor was byMichael Thomas Platos. And as we’ve been telling you … one of our newest Little Black Book Photographers, Erik Ekroth is responsible for the fun and festive fotos documenting a truly glorious celebration of love, life and family!
Erik’s blog is filled with so many gorgeous weddings! And just in case you missed it on our earlier post, he has a couple of NY bridal fashion runway shoots on his blog too … from April {Oscar, Christos, Ramona, etc.} and from last October {Vera!}.
Thanks SO much, Erik for joining us in our illustrious Little Black Book and for sharing Rochelle and David’s wedding with us!
Congratulations Rochelle & David from all of us at Style Me Pretty!!!!
So amazing with the architecture and the lighting. And then all the flowers strung above... my head is spinning when I think about the price tag. But if you have the means, by all means!
Erik is an amazingly talented photographer. This is gorgeous!
omg, how CUTE is the passed-out ring-bearer??!
I love the flower in her hair. Who made it?
Oh my goodness that little guy asleep on the chairs made my heart skip a beat. How very, very sweet.
That bride is smoking hot. David is a lucky guy!
Ha ha - for the little boy to crash like that on the seats - he must have had a ball! What a lovely wedding!
Wow, the lighting is awesome in these photos! We considered this site too - great shots!
I love the bride's hairpiece, as well! Can you tell us who made it?
Wow! What an amazing venue!! And such gorgeous images!!
The Angel Orensanz Center is a stunningly beautiful wedding venue; the modern lighting and decorations update the intricately designed woodwork. These are absolutely fabulous pictures, especially the last one with her in his arms, truly awesome and well done.
I was also married at the Angel Orensanz Foundation. Thank you for sharing these photos - they brought back great memories of my own wedding! I also love seeing how other couples decorate the space - between the lighting and flowers, it really lends itself to a diversity of interpretation.
