I met my friend Zack on the train to Montreal when he was a budding young jazz musician and I was a jazz fan. Zack now lives in NYC, which is where my husband and I lived when he first started dating Alice in 2007. Unfortunately, my first encounter with Alice was not until their wedding, since she lived in Holland when were in NYC! The words that most people used to describe her were “Talented, creative and kind.” She met Zack when she sang at jazz Festival in Holland, where she is from, but she is now doing her PhD in Economics in NYC.
I was a guest at this wedding, but I was also the official photographer for the reception. Their wedding took place at Hillsdale Golf Course.
Congrats to Zack and Alice on such a fantastic day!
I adore the hora dance.
You can tell they are in love from the way they are looking at each other.
Here, they are watching a video made by friends from around the world who could not attend the wedding.
Zack’s dad saved this whisky for this day from another special occasion 37 years ago. It was handed out to all of the guests.
Alice designed the beautiful cake and cupcakes. They matched the wedding invitations!
Zack completed the cake cutting with a wink and a smile.
