Gabriela Oheka Castle Dance Party

To see part 1 – 4 of the portraits we made before the party, go here. It was a little rainy that night, giving the cobble stone entryway a purple glimmer. Oheka Castle was bathed in purple light for Gabriela, who picked the color purple for the occasion. It was everywhere including her! I was raised by a fashionista mother and love fashion details and Gabriela was hot – dressed in a purple bandage dress by Herve Leger with sky high Louboutin’s. The perfect finishing touch. So here are a few – it was a high energy dinner dance party ending with an endless array of desserts.

For her Sweet 16 we made portraits in advance of her party. I love these.

Long Island teenager, Brittany has celebrated her Sweet 16 with a dinner dance party she planned all by herself! I think she will become an event planner. She was so beautiful in her pink ball gown and only removed her platform shoes for a few minutes so that I could photograph them. Intense fuchsia platforms that remind me of the Azalea flower.

Happy Birthday Brittany!

A very Sweet 16 was just celebrated at the beautiful estate, Oheka Castle, on Long Island. I could have spent hours alone with Domenique and made a portfolio of her!
