I love it when couple's see each other before the wedding...but, there's something to be said for being very traditional; there's something beautiful in it. Marian and Jose didn't only wait to see each other at the ceremony; they made sure that nobody even saw Marian until she entered the church. I can't believe how cool and completely calm she was before the ceremony; she was ready early and just let us have complete free reign over the place (thank you)!

And up until a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea this place even existed. They had their wedding at St. Anthony's which is a stunning Croatian Church right in the middle of Chinatown. And the reception hall...you would never know it was there! From the church hall entry way; there is a beautiful set of doors that leads to this massive, and gorgeous, reception hall-it was really a joy to not only get to photograph here-but to spend the day with these two!

BTW: I can't take credit for those amazing shots of Marian and her dad...those are Brian. And sweet photo of Jose and his mom? Yeah...him too. (sigh)
