I was fortunate to attend the inauguration telecast at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem with my friend Leah, who got up at the crack of dawn to find tickets!  It was a great crowd and it was my first time in the theater.  I loved it!

Monica and Michael's Wedding in New York City

Monica and Michel were married December 27th at Pratt Mansion in New York City.  We went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art for some fun photos before the ceremony and since it was so chilly we stopped for some hot cocoa.  Pratt Mansion is beautiful and the floral designer - Fleurs, and lighting designer - Bentley Meeker were fabulous.  I'm not even finished editing but here's my favorites so far!
