Kelly and Ben – The Oviatt Penthouse

Kelly contacted me back in January about her small intimate wedding at the Oviatt Penthouse.  The Oviatt is one of my favorite venues to photograph a wedding.  The decor is so lovely, you simply can’t take a bad photo!  It has that old Art Deco vibe and those lovely cityscape views.  It’s one of those venues where, I know if a couple if getting married there…they are going to be cool.  Kelly mentioned to me that she is a violin player as well and I thought, “Oh, I have to photograph this wedding!”.  It was a lovely day from beginning to end.  Kelly and Ben are super sweet, relaxed and fun to work with.  When I met with Kelly before the wedding, she mentioned that she had converted to Judiasm for the marriage.  Being a “not so religious” jew myself, this always fascinates me.  It was very cool to hear about this intense process.  Ben’s uncle was the official rabbi for the wedding and Ben’s mom, designed the Kattubah, which was absolutely beautiful.  Thank you so much for Ray Prosser, who works at the Oviatt, and helped make the day go very smoothly for me.
