An Elegant Take on Urban Bridal

Acclaimed, Brooklyn-based wedding photojournalist Julia Newman, has been selected for 2007, 2008, and 2009 Best of Wedding Vendors by The Knot Magazine and has received a Brides' Choice Award for 2009 from WeddingWire.com.  Published frequently, Julia has captured the imagination of editors and couples alike with her romantic yet edgy style. Her truly fresh approach is marked by artistic, Bride and Groom portrait sessions and discreet, inventive documentation of intimate weddings.

A jet-setter at heart, Julia travels often to her choice corners of the world throughout the year (favorites being Florence, Ireland, & India).   But, she is always happy to come home to her Williamsburg digs and shoot in local hotspots like the Smack Mellon Gallery, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and the lovely lofts of DUMBO.

Bridesmaids’ Dresses

As I was looking through images from last year, I noticed a trend in bridesmaids’ dresses! See below!

d

Silky, flowing, knee length cocktail dresses in black were very popular. It is a great selection for the hot summer months, and your girls can wear them again and again!

b

Bright pastels were also popular. I love the contrasting bouquets!

a

2009 saw a lot of purple, lavender and violets! I love these light shades as well as the darker ones below.

Beautiful Up-do’s!

Looking back through my 2009 weddings I was reminded of some of the beautiful hair styles my brides wore. I just had to share some of the great up-do’s with you! Enjoy!

zena-up-do

Zena was simply gorgeous! Swooped to one side and pinned, her hair style was bold and feminine. I also adore her headpiece and how she wore it to the side. Pretty, pretty, pretty! View more pictures of Zena’s wedding Here.

sophie-up-do

Sophie looked so fresh and beautiful on her wedding day. Her curls were swept under and loosely pined for a natural looking up-do. She also wore a ribbon head band which was a perfectly unique way to pull her hair style together. My applause to Salon Elle for this lovely do! See more photos from Sophie’s wedding Here.

jessica-up-do

Jessica wore her hair in a classic, low tie-back and spiced this timeless look up with a floral embellishment. Oh, so adorable! See more pictures from Jessica’s wedding Here.

Kasia’s twisted and pinned curls created an intricate hair style that complimented the lace on her dress brilliantly. Polished and classy, it doesn’t get any better than that! See more photos from Kasia’s wedding Here.

Venue Profile- Wainwright House

The Wainwright House is one of my favorite venues in New York State and I am thrilled to share this hidden gem with you. What a beautiful location! Great scenery, incredibly hospitable staff, and calm, loving energy.

I asked Janice O’Brien, Director of Marketing and Special Events for the Wainwright House, to send a few words about the history of the house and their current goal/purpose.

“Wainwright House is located on five acres overlooking Milton Harbor in Rye, New York, an inlet of Long Island Sound.  Built in 1931 by Colonel Jonathan Mayhew, Wainwright House is a replica of a 17th century chateau in France. The oldest non-profit, non-sectarian holistic learning center in the US, the mission of Wainwright House is to inspire greater understanding through body, mind, spirit and community.

The sacraments of marriage fit perfectly into Wainwright’s House’s mission. Outdoor wedding ceremonies and receptions reveal the dramatic waterfront view from across the Milton Harbor to the Marshlands Conservancy.Tented capacity allows for up to 300 guests for cocktails,240 seated guests.The historic facility and stunning landscape provide the perfect setting for your once-in-a-lifetime event!

Today, Wainwright House continues to offer a variety of educational,cultural and spiritual programs,as well as a beautiful setting for group and personal celebrations.”

A November Wedding- Sandy&Tom

Sandy and Tom were married on a crisp evening in late autumn. Talk about love! These two are clearly the best of friends and I marveled at their easy, familiar relationship which was dotted with humor and sincerity. The party was a cocktail-style reception adorned with beautiful centerpieces made of wild twigs and branches with turned leaves from Flower by Brian and the mood was set by elegant melodies played expertly by Arnie Abrams or Arnie Abrams Ent.! Simple and beautiful! Congrats, Sandy and Tom!
