On the Little Black Book Blog, we strive to bring you more of the stellar work of our LBB members … the event planners, the photographers, the cinematographers … the cake designers, the floral designers … We show you their work, not because we think they’re terrific, but because we know they’re terrific!
Carla Ten Eyck is just that … amazing …
When you hire a photographer for your wedding, you’re not just hiring a picture-taker. You’re gaining a friend. You’re hiring someone who will be by your side on one of THE most important days of your life. That person will bring out the sheer beauty, the raw emotion … the awe in you. That’s what you get with Carla Ten Eyck.
Carla Ten Eyck captured Samar and Shane’s exquisite multi-cultural wedding that spanned three glorious days. There is no way that we can do this incredible celebration justice. We simply want to show you, brag to you, how great Carla and her incredible team are.
Samar and Shane’s wedding weekend …
The wedding took place in Hudson, NY. It was a three day Pakistani and Irish wedding celebration. Friday night the family held a Mehndi ceremony in the beautiful barn at Oak Hill Estate in the Hudson River Valley. These celebrations are traditionally women only, but Shane and Samar invited the men to participate as well. During the ceremony they sat together in a swing while guests came up to offer them blessings. After the blessings there were traditional dances upstairs in the barn. Saturday was the formal wedding ceremony. Samar’s father officiated the ceremony, and the bridesmaids carried wooden bowls full of rose petals instead of bouquets. Floral decor was by Little Black Book member, Linda Baldwin Flowers.
Shane and Samar’s incredible celebration proves without a doubt that if you are lucky enough to have Carla and her team ~ Mike Romano, Katie Slater and Graham Scobey ~ you will have memories … and a friend who will last a lifetime!
Congratulations Samar & Shane on an absolutely phenomenal wedding! And Carla, well as we’ve said before … sheer beauty!!
