Andrea was introduced to Ben via a mutual friend that attended graduate school with Ben. The actual story of how this played out was perhaps one of the best MOH speeches ever and it’s clear that it is a miracle these two are together. However, once introduced, they fell madly for one another.
Andrea is a classy girl so it’s no surprise that all the wedding day details were also full of class. She wanted white and slight blush peonies with lots of greenery. Walking through a Ralph Lauren store, she was inspired by all the ginger jars and decided these would provide a beautiful touch to her stationery and tablescapes. Birds of a Flower did an incredible job incorporating these into the floral design and as a surprise for Andrea and Ben, the Birds presented them with a beautiful porcelain Tiffany & Co. ginger box that they found at a thrift shop. What an incredible find!!
The couple opted for a blended ceremony of faiths that incorporated elements of Ben’s Jewish faith and Andrea’s Christian faith. The ceremony was very lovely and the Chuppah the Birds built was incredible. Birds of a Flower are constantly coming up with such creative escort card display and I love the criss-cross pattern that also made a great photo backdrop later in the night.
Special elements included Andrea gifting her parents with embroidered handkerchiefs, which was such a great idea considering they come in useful at weddings. Andrea’s mom made all the flower girl dresses and sewed a heart made from her wedding dress inside Andrea’s wedding dress. Andrea had a first look with her father prior to her first look with Ben. The couple loves to read so we did a few “just married” photos in the library and I incorporated books in their detail shots.
What an incredible day these two had as their families came together as one to celebrate their union. There was so much laughing, dancing, cigars, s’mores and sparklers for a day and night to remember. They are better together and I’m so honored to document this special day for them.

These are the most beautiful wedding pictures I have ever seen! Of course it helps that Ben and Andrea look like movie stars, and their choices of wedding photographer, florist and all others mentioned helped.
