I’m totally in love with Stephanie & Arle. I’m not even gonna pretend. They are two of my favorite people. Not because they’re unbelievably gorgeous, though they are completely STUNNING, but because of who they are and the way they so visibly love.

Stephanie and Arle love each other like Allie and Noah. For those of you that aren’t obsessed with chicks flicks the way this Hallmark card of a photographer is, they are the main characters in The Notebook. I know, I know. Comparing love to a movie? Yes, yes. You may have forgotten, but I am Mrs. Hallmark afterall, and that means I’m pretty much the sappiest gal on the planet and love love. But I digress. You look at S & A look at each other for a nano second and you see it. A love that is unabashedly and completely pure and beautiful and present in that very moment. They glow. They laugh out loud. Their eyes dance. They flirt. They give subtly sweet glances at one another. And, Arle kisses Stephanies hand, folks. On a regular basis. I couldn’t love anything more.

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is one of my absolute favorite places to photograph a wedding and the sweetly smitten couple could not have had a more picture perfect day surrounded by the most incredibly warm and wonderful friends and families around.

Stephanie & Arle, wishing you a lifetime of hand kisses, subtly sweet glances, lots of laughter, and dancing eyes for one another. I am so honored to know you and have to have documented and shared in this magical day with you, and I’m thrilled to call you not only friend, but neighbor! Thank you for sharing the beauty of yourselves and your love with me and the world every day.

With much love and appreciation,
