Iris and Kevin were one of my favorite couples of the year. They are two of the nicest people you will ever meet, genuine and unique, and they have amazing pets. This event was a CELEBRATION! Iris and Kevin are madly in love, committed to eachother, and wanted to throw a monster party to celebrate their love with family and friends. And best of all, part of doing a “celebration” instead of a wedding, is you make up the rules!! Iris wore a BLUE DRESS, yes, you heard me right, a BLUE DRESSS!!! It was stunning, I am thinking more people should be throwing “celebrations!
Iris’s mom was very sweet and very quiet. I just loved during the getting ready when she helped Iris, a huge grin emerged.
I LOVE THIS DRESS!!!!
Aren’t these two so cute together. Great style, beautiful smiles and they go so well together!
Bryant park is such a great place for pictures! When we set up the timeline together, we left plenty of time to walk around and explore.
What a great alternative to the traditional wedding band. If you are a fan of tatoos check out Jess and Ralphs wedding from years ago.
Iris’ dress had such beautiful movement. I shock myself noticing “movement” in dress, haha. This is Brooke’s influence on me. Must be all that Project Runway we’ve been watching.
The family started to gather at the front of the Bryant Park Restaurant, when we skooted by them everyone cheered with glee.
Her dress was so flowy, I had to get a great walking shot.
Iris and Kevins beloved children had their little shout out at the wedding too. If we had Maggie at our wedding you better believe she would have plastered all over. Heck, she probably would have been there with us.
This little boy deserves his own shoot.
I’m going to be posting more pictures like this on the blog. It’s a very simple picture of Kevin’s mom. But this is the kind of picture, after it’s all said and done, that has the greatest value. How many people have a great picture of their mom laughing hysterically? I wish I had one from my wedding.
They prepared a terrific sideshow, it was emotional and funny. Loved it!
What characters! Andrew Andrew were great!
I couldn’t help posting this, too funny!
Their friend put on an amazing performance. At one point he was playing multiple instruments at once, very entertaining and it sounded great.
Below is the email we received from Iris and Kevin a few days after I delivered their pictures. Iris Kevin, thank you for choosing
Be Creative Photography, and thank you for taking the time to send the email below, it means way more then you can imagine!

Hi Eric
WOW!!! Kevin and I LOVE all the pictures and especially the slideshow! We literally stayed up until 3 in the morning on Friday night looking through all of the pictures. And fortuitously, my mom came into the city this weekend, and we showed her and my brother and sister in law all of the pictures last night as well, which of course, they all loved. Everyone has been highly impressed with the artistry and as well as the quality of the pictures and the speed with which you managed to turn them around. I loved the beautiful pictures that you got as well, of our beloved cat and dog, even the one of them in the same shot! (the cat really seems to hate the dog as the new interloper). I also LOVED that you got pictures of all of the amazing food and dessert! I didn’t get to eat hardly anything during the entire festivities, but heard rave reviews from all of our guests – it’s nice to have beautiful pictures of the food and the space as well, I might add, as part of the lasting images of the day. We also love the pictures that you got of our awesome DJ duo – aren’t they such characters? We are going to send them some of the pictures you took of them – I bet they would love to see them.
We have been so very happy that we found you for our special day – you approached our day with cheerful enthusiasm (despite the threatening rain, which fortunately held off!) and fresh creativity. I was also impressed with how well you had scoped out the scenery and surroundings in advance, which added, I’m sure, to what was already a very long day. Allen, your second shooter, was a pleasure to work with as well, so please extend to him our gratitude and thanks as well. We are going to recom
mend you to all of our friends, and hope to be lucky enough to have future occasions for you to come do additional sessions for us.
Sincerely
Iris & Kevin
