Gorgeous wedding!

---

thank you!

Wow!!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED your review! Your dress was beautiful & you looked absolutely gorgeous!
I'm from the Bronx (Morris Park) & found your review esp helpful!
I'm also stealing the pic idea with the Iphone haha - a cute way to show of a pic & your wedding date!

OMG the song that you used for your video - Stars Go Dim - Crazy is the same song I picked out for our video & after seeing yours, I'm 150% sure I want that song - so romantic - i listen to it in my car like almost everyday & try to picture how it will be in video LOL

I am going to try to contact that mention for photos! I've been trying to find a place in case it rains!
Was it pricey?

Glad you had an amazing wedding! All the pics are beautiful!

Thank you! It was a great day! I have a ton of family in the Bronx (Throggs Neck & Country Club) so that's how I learned about Forever More. As a warning, the store isn't the nicest looking place but the owner David is extremely helpful and can do just about anything! My favors weren't in the store, but I found ones I liked, showed him the picture, told him the brand and he ordered the SAME ones! Tell him Melissa sent you(reference the two bridesmaid dresses & crystal sugar & creamer favors bride from 2012 - he'll know who you are referring to lol)

I loved my photographer's creativity with the phone pic too! Had no idea he even took that picture until I saw the teaser photos.

I loved our recap song too! I'm actually pretty obsessed with it... it's a great choice!

I think the fee for Alder was $400.00. It may have gone up since. There's also an estate in the Bronx - Bartow Pell Mansion and I think they have an indoors too!

Good luck with the rest of your planning & congrats!

Thanks! I will def mention you as a referral if I decide to go. We're having a photobooth so may do frames as favors and then chocolate photo lolipops...not sure

How dd you get in contact with Alder?
I will call the Bartow Pell Mansion - thanks so much!

Thank you! I contacted Bartow Pell Mansion & prices were reasonable so I may do it there esp that it's close to Glen island where we will take pics outside.
Thank you so much for letting me know about it!

Congratulations and beautiful pics. The shots you got at citifield, can I ask how you went about setting that up and about what it cost. Thats where me and the hubby-to-be met so I think this could be a nice treat : ) Congrats again

---

Thank you!

My husband actually reached out to their Events Department.

You need to follow up with them a lot though... I forget how much it came out to but I think it was over $500 and you had either 90minutes or two hours to take your pictures. They were pretty lenient with where they let us take our pictures - in the dugout, on the dugout, on the warning track.. you just couldn't step on the grass.
