"Alvina Valenta"

New York City weddings.  Four words that conjure up images of bow-tied grooms, breathtaking cathedrals and ballroom receptions chock-full of glamour.  Yep... when I think classic, stop-you-in-your-tracks weddings, I think NYC.  Which is why my heart beat just a little bit faster (okay, a lot faster) when I first laid eyes on this beautiful day from the ever-amazing Trent Bailey Photography.  The true definition of a traditional...
