We’ve been waiting all week to introduce you pretty New Yorkers to the newest member of our SMP clan, because today we are welcoming the uber talent, Miho Aikawa. The proof of her talent is the pictures, and those pretty images below definitely speak for themselves. So take a little moment this Saturday morning to give her site a virtual squeeze – we are thrilled to have her be a part of the pretty!
From Miho Aikawa…Born in Japan, Miho Aikawa is a photographer, currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. “I studied journalism, in particular visual communication at university and my style is truly that of a documentary approach. On one occasion when I was just starting out as a freelance photographer, I was fortunate enough to shoot one couple’s wedding photography. I was instantly absorbed in taking photos of their each precious moment, and the many happy smiles that they encountered that day. The fact that I had recorded the unique story of the marrying couple, their families and friends made me realize how honorable it was to take on such an important role. I focus on shooting each casual ‘moment’ that passes by our daily lives and my photography is about telling the precious story that lies behind them. “Most recently I was honored to receive Grand Prize of The 2012 PDN Top Knots Contest.
Welcome to the family, Miho Aikawa! We couldn’t be more thrilled to have you !xoxo, A.Blaire
I love New York. So much so I would proudly strut around in one of those touristy t-shirts, not only because the city is fabulous but also because the weddings never fail to be out of this world amazing. Breathtaking beauties that keep setting the bar higher and higher. Exquisite Affairs Productions is bringing us such a beauty this morning, and thanks to Agaton Strom we have a gallery full of New York City gorgeousness to gawk over!

And if you loved all the images (which I am SURE you did), you will just DIE over the film by 15 Minutes of Frame…
From Exquisite Affairs Productions… Kate and Matt were married on Saturday, March 31, at Bridgewaters in NYC’s historic South Street Seaport. They were fortunate enough to have their photo sessions outdoors, documenting the famous cobble-stone streets of the Downtown/Financial District before the rain came through. They had a traditional Jewish ceremony, officiated by Rabbi David Adelson, with 200 of their dearest friends and family in attendance. During the Hora, the bride surprised her groom with an appearance by his favorite baseball team’s mascot — Mr. Met. The guests danced the night away to hits like “You Make My Dreams Come True,” “She’s Got a Way” and “The Way You Look Tonight.” A classic New York wedding spotted with intimate toasts and speeches by the parents of both the bride and groom, their siblings and friends. Before guests hit the road, they were treated to hot pretzels in classic cart style.

From Melissa of MLKL Photography… This styled shoot combines my passions for fashion and wedding photography. As a photographer, I don’t just shoot weddings, I help my brides source original, local pieces that will set their wedding and photos apart – all while telling the story of the places they love. It’s all about personalization. And in this shoot – it’s all about Brooklyn, the bride’s hometown. The bride gives a gentle nod to her home by exclusively featuring local designers in the most important elements of her day. And while her style may be simple, its a far cry from modest! Sparing no detail, the bride is embellished with shoes lending a pop of color — specially customized for this occasion with the addition of braided blush ribbon and strands of black gemstones. Her DIY bouquet was a kaleidoscope of flowers assembled from local Brooklyn markets. Her ring is a unique design from local artisans at Fitzgerald Jewelry. And best of all, she is adorned with a gown customized by a local master of exquisite wedding couture, Samuelle Couture. Everything was shot in Brooklyn’s beautiful Prospect Park this spring.
