The Vanderbilt South Beach Wedding Photos | An Ting + Chris

Who says you have to go all the way to South Beach, Florida to experience the excitement, fun, beautiful people, and dancing when we have our very own right here in New York?  Along the eastern shore of Staten Island lays this borough’s hidden treasure – a stretch of over 2 miles of sandy beach with a boardwalk and is not only perfect for fishing and biking, but for weddings as well! The beautiful Vanderbilt at South Beach is located right in the heart of it all.  The venue provides beautiful ocean-front views of the Lower New York Bay as well as the Verrazano Narrow Bridge, and most importantly, Brooklyn, the place where it all began for An Ting and Chris.

On this beautiful Saturday, I almost forgot I was working while capturing the special moments and fun of An Ting and Chris’s wedding day. The bride and her bridesmaids were dressed in elegant full-length gowns accommodated by bright bouquets that accentuated their style and elegance. The ladies kept their high spirits and excitement throughout the day and were great to work with.  The groomsmen knew just how to have fun as well!  Looking tough on the police barricade, it was obvious nothing could ever block Chris’ way to An Ting!  The  groomsmen chatted about their passion for cars, kept the mood light, and looked sharp for the beautiful ladies.

After a beautiful ceremony where An Ting and Chris expressed their love and commitment to each other and their new life as husband and wife, the happy couple joined their friends for a fine reception. The reception hall lit up beautifully and the fantastic music created the perfect atmosphere for a grand party. Before the night was over, the dance floor became THE place to be. All of An Ting and Chris’ friends kept the party going with dancing all night long!

The happy couple took off for their honeymoon in Puerto Rico after the wedding. If the wedding day is any indication of what’s to come (and I think it is), Chris and An Ting are in for a life full of love and excitement. I am honored to have been there for the first page in this new chapter of their lives!

Congratulations An Ting and Chris! All the best to you both!
