This NY Athletic Club wedding features a real Manhattan romance.

Courtney shows off her low bun at her NY Athletic Club Wedding A New York Athletic Club wedding is so cool. Since Courtney's family are lifelong members of the NY Athletic Club, it was the natural place for she and Steve to tie the knot.  Both of these film professionals met at work (set up by Steve's boss) and it was a bold statement for them not to have a cinematographer covering the event, so it made the photography all that more important. From the carved moldings, to the Central Park location, to the mini Junior's cheescakes offered as wedding favors, every little detail about this wedding subtly whispered "Old, New, York." as no other details could. Vendor list at the bottom of this post. All those listed are esteemed colleagues and impressively talented. A perfect fit for this swellegant affair.
