Tanya and Brett pt 1 | Manhattan Wedding Photographer

It was an overcast day in Manhattan when my amazing, wonderful, beautiful, gracious,and fabulous friend Tanya married the love of her life, Brett.   Tanya and I went to the same high school, but didn’t really get to know each other until we met again working together as elementary school teachers.  I have been fortunate enough to photograph Tanya and her family for the last couple of years.  So when she asked if I would travel to New York City to capture her wedding day, of course the answer was a resounding, “YES”!  Tanya and Brett’s entire wedding day was off the charts unbelievable.  From the food, renowned chef Steve Martorano to the music;  New York City Club DJ Louie XIV, to the venue; 230 Fifth And the cake…THE CAKE!!!!  Created by the none other Sweet Genius Ron Ben-Israel.  (Ceremony and reception images to come).  Tanya and Brett made New York City a very big part of their day. I firmly believe now that everyone should get married in Manhattan at least once in their lives.   I worked the event and had such a great time.

For me personally, I left my four month old daughter for the first time, and professionally it was courtney ortiz photography‘s first official destination wedding.  All things I am very proud of.

Congratulations Tanya and Brett!  Sending lots of love to you and your family!
