Todd and Cindy, Cindy and Todd. These two go together like peanut butter and jelly. Like lox and schmear. Like sunshine at the beach. Maybe they’ve always gone together this flawlessly, or maybe it’s the 5 years of practice they’ve had since getting married. Whatever their secret, I was honored to capture their 5 year wedding celebration. It was actually like a vow-renewal… wedding reenactment…styled shoot…mashup. A pretty rare occurrence, but I highly recommend attending one of those, if you ever get the chance (you probably won’t, I am sorry).
Friends and family of the couple contributed their talents to make the day all that it was. From the makeup, to designing the invitation, to cooking, and more. It was amazing to see! (Credits below).
The event was small and intimate and took place in Todd’s aunt’s home and yard in Roslyn, New York. The lovely Long Island location was an excellent choice for the bride and groom’s special day, and not only because it’s in the family. Long Island is special because Cindy and Todd, to ring in their 5 years of marriage, made a big move from Queens to Long Island where they bought their first house! In fact, a few of the detail shots were taken at their stunning new forever home in Garden City, New York.
The day was extremely warm, but so were the hearts of all who gathered to witness their wedding. Again. Maybe at the 10 year mark we’ll do this again, hey guys?!
To Todd and Cindy: Congratulations on getting married, on making it to 5 years, on getting a dog (His name is Barkley- look for him in the photos!), on getting a house, and on getting out of Queens. Just kidding, Queens is great! Mostly, guys, thank you for donning your wedding clothes again so I could have fun and take a bunch of pictures.
