NYC Anniversary: Monika & Steve’s Fairytale Romance Revisited

Bride and groom embrace during outdoor wedding day

Monika grew up in a small town in Poland. When she arrived in America she had often thought of the Cinderella fairy tale that all young girls dream about. So when Monika met Steve (16 years ago) she felt like she had met her Prince Charming.

Their story began while she was out with a friend having drinks, she saw Steve across the room. After a few glances, he came over to buy her a drink and the rest is history! They have been married 10 years and wanted to celebrate in the city that they both adore for their special night so they chose NYC! See all of the romance of the day in the full gallery, photographed by Deborah Ryan.

A Night Away To Celebrate Love

They love the Surrey Hotel which was the perfect choice for an overnight getaway. With some memorable photographs and a romantic dinner their night began! They have two beautiful children so they are quite the busy parents, but for this special occasion they stole a night away! They wanted to capture there special day with photographs so when Monika contacted me I was thrilled to be the one.

Age Old Love With A Brand New Dress

The most fun thing was that Cristalle Brides allowed Monika to wear one of their brand new gowns from their new bridal collection. Steve and Monika are as beautiful inside as they are outside. They had an amazing celebration!
