Joanna and Darren were married on a sunny summer day in Queens, NYC. They were wed in a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Astoria. After the ceremony, we headed over to Gantry Plaza State Park for some portraits overlooking the NYC skyline and near the iconic Pepsi-Cola sign.
The reception took place at Maiella, an elegant Italian restaurant located along the waterfront in Long Island City. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with white linens and soft florals in bud vase centerpieces. After the newlyweds were announced into their reception, the celebration started off with their first dance followed by a couple of great speeches and the father-daughter dance. It was such an incredibly fun reception with an awesome energetic live band, great food, dancing, and laughter. Congratulations, and best wishes for a lifetime of love happiness to Joanna & Darren!
