Fabulous Labor Day Weekend Wedding at the WestSide Loft
4Eyes just shot a fabulous wedding @ The WestSide Loft, in Manhattan, over Labor Day Weekend.
Tsigie ( pronounced S-i-g-a-y) & Charles ~ who met in High School ~ drew on elements of the African American culture and traditions ....and blended it with their hip, contemporary New Yorker lives.
Rupert photographed DJ Charles getting ready at a friends' Downtown loft and got great shots while he blasted Hip Hop tunes from his buddies' turntable set-up & fussed over his look.
All the guys then jumped in a friends' SUV and dived down to TriBeca for some cool cobble-stone street shots. Very Reservoir Dogs with everyone in slick suits and black ties.
Kellie hung with the girls and got the 'getting ready' images and did some very daring, 'R' rated portraits of Tsigie posing in the window of her beautiful suite at the Gansevoort Hotel, in the MeatPacking District !
The wedding and reception was at the WestSide Loft and the couple teamed up with planner Ebony Small from Longevity Wedding Consultants to design a New York theme. Each table was identified by a famous New York street, such as 42nd Street or Madison Avenue and there was even a Law & Order Way ( a nod to Tsigie's professional connection with the TV show !)
After a cool traditional Gospel-style ceremony, the couple ended the service by 'jumping the broom' - (a tradition dating back to the African Slave days), where the couple jumps over a broom into their new life together. Then the couple and the entire wedding party danced and grooved their way back down the aisle, straight into the Cocktail Hour !
We got some more fun shots afterwards, outside with the couple and their party, using the gritty New York streets as a background. We even got the couple dancing in the middle of 7th Avenue traffic !
After some great speeches, dinner was served family style to the tables.
Then the party really kicked in with a top New York DJ spinning and mixing Hip Hop and classics with practically the entire wedding crammed onto the dance- floor and dancing long into the night !
