Emmy + Nicholas, Gramercy Park Hotel, New York wedding photographer

The weekend of October 10, 11 & 12, 2014 was an EPIC one for us here at McKay Imaging Photography! Not only was our wonderful associate photographer Sara photographing the Danyo wedding for us on the 11th but… on the 10th, Liz and I were photographing the Shinn wedding at Clarks Landing and then the McClelland wedding at Bayonet Farms on the 11th. So when our buddy Emmy Black ( we go way back ) : ) called us about photographing her wedding at The Gramercy Park Hotel in Manhattan on October 12th, my first reaction was “Ouch!” As much as we love Emmy, we couldn’t imagine photographing a 3rd wedding that weekend and doing it in The Big Apple to boot! It just sounded bruising! Emmy however said that she had complete confidence in us and it only took a little begging and crying, a few small bribes and some very sweet compliments to convince us that Liz and I were Supermen and that it would really no problem at all for us… and as it turned out, she was right! We were so charged up when we arrived… happy to be working in the big city and in this beautiful hotel… happy to see our friend Emmy looking so beautiful and being so happy to be marrying the fabulously cool Nicholas Maximillion Luna on that very day! In fact, we can’t thank Emmy & Nicholas enough for bringing us in on their amazing wedding day. We feel really lucky to have been there to capture the spirit of it all in photos. Man, we really love our job! Many thanks to the staff of GPH and to both families for treating us like guests (because we kind of were)! Thanks to Emmy’s Mom for making the whole thing possible and to the endlessly creative Kein Cross for being such an amazing decorator and friend to the family. Mostly, thanks to Emmy for not taking “Ouch” for an answer! Yeah, I don’t use the work “epic” too often or too lightly but this weekend certainly was just that; and October 12th was like a giant cherry on the cake… with an exclamation point!
