Portia & Kevin’s wedding at The Bordone LIC was one for the books! It started with the classic getting-ready shots at the stylish Ravel Hotel in Long Island City. Portia, surrounded by her bridesmaids, was an absolute vision, and we made sure to capture the excitement and happy chaos that comes with those final touches—especially the emotional first look with her dad. Meanwhile, Kevin and his groomsmen were having a blast, all smiles and laughter as they suited up and got ready to take on the day.
The first look between Portia and Kevin was unforgettable. We set it up perfectly so they could have this intimate moment before the whirlwind of the ceremony. You could feel the love and excitement in the air as they saw each other for the first time. After some fun bridal party photos, the couple made their way to the valet, where a sleek white Rolls-Royce was waiting to whisk them away to the church. Talk about making an entrance!
