NYC Wedding Photographer/Renewal of Vows

I had the privilege and honor of capturing this couple’s wedding last November at Villa Russo in NYC.   It was a special wedding for this couple since they were renewing their wedding vows.  Since they never had a traditional wedding that included all the bells and whistles when they married years ago, they wanted to  have this wedding be the wedding that they never had, which included a wedding reception, photographer, dj, flowers, wedding cake, bridal party and all the traditional highlights that usually occur at a wedding such as first dance, cake eating, bouquet and garter toss.  I don’t see many bridal and garter tosses at wedding receptions nowadays but theirs was special because it had a bit of a twist.  Instead of having the gentleman that caught the garter put the garter on the lady that caught the bouquet, the person that caught the garter had to put the garter on his wife and that couple would have to renew their vows within the next year!  I think that this idea was awesome.  Not only was it a creative twist but it is so special to see couples who have been married 20 years or more renewing their vows again.  It is such a special way of reaffirming the love that a couple has for one another and reminding yourselves what you promised all those years ago to each other.   And there are many ways that you can reaffirm your vows.  Here are some good ideas and tips on wedding vow renewal.  What do you think?   If you are married, have you considered or would you consider renewing your vows again?

God Bless this couple.  I hope that they will have many more wonderful years together.

Here are some highlights from their wedding:
