In his words:
When The Big Day finally came, we decided to go the traditional route and not see each other at all. It was surprisingly tough, with all the preparation and nerves, being apart from my best friend, but it was all worth it when I saw her walking down the aisle.

In her words:
The day went surprisingly smoothly, at least as far as I was concerned. Apparently, thats why you surround yourself with a team of best friends on the day, they make sure you don't see any of the chaos. All I cared about was that my future husband was somewhere in the building with me.

The always sweet and cool Kate O'Donnell from Green Apple Weddings did the "day of" coordinating for this wedding at The Metropolitan Building in Long Island City for Sharon and Mike.
I created a photo booth against on of the bare walls by taping beautiful fabric up and dragging one of the many great retro pieces of furniture in front of it. We lit it with strobes, put a camera on the tripod, and gave the guests a remote control trigger to take their own photos. It was a HUGE hit. There must be 150 shots of people kissing.
