Katie and Gary’s Classic Manhattan Wedding on Governors Island

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. I don’t think I have to say too much about Katie and Gary’s wedding — the photos do the talking. From the Vespa ride from Katie’s parents’ home on the Upper East Side to the ferry ride to Governors Island, from the oysters served at cocktail hour to the stunning views of downtown Manhattan, this wedding was a New York City classic. Much of the planning was done by Katie’s mother Dale. I think the wedding was truly a masterpiece. For a list of the vendors, see the end of the blog post.
