David Krumholtz Ties the Knot By Ulrica Wihlborg Saturday May 22, 2010 08:00 PM EDT David Krumholtz and Vanessa Britting Brian Dorsey Studios FacebookTwitterYahoo BuzzE-mailNumb3rs star David Krumholtz and actress Vanessa Britting were married on Saturday at The Plaza Hotel in New York City, his rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE. The couple, who were engaged in July 2008 in Paris, tied the knot in a non-denominational ceremony in the historic hotel’s terrace room in front of 180 guests – including groomsmen Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel – as well as Krumholtz’s Numb3rs costars Rob Morrow, Judd Hirsch and Peter MacNicol. “They wanted a classic Manhattan wedding,” says wedding planner Michelle Rago, who designed a Midsummer Night’s Dream-inspired celebration for the couple featuring pale pink and blue spring flowers, branches, butterflies and hundreds of candles. The bride wore a wedding gown by Rivini as she walked down an aisle decorated with 7-foot tall candelabras, garden roses and vines. After the 30 minute ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed cocktails on a terrace before entering the hotel’s grand ballroom for the reception. After a three-course dinner, the 14-member big band Jimmy Vali kept the newlyweds and their guests on the dance floor until after midnight. “They’re a perfect compliment to each other,” says Rago of Krumholtz and Britting. “You can tell they’re old souls. They have incredible mutual respect and make all decisions as a couple. I predict they’ll be married for ever and ever.”

Site-to-Site, Ferry-to-Ferry, and Sea-to-Sea

April 5th, 2010 · 1 Comment

When planning a destination wedding, one of the most important things you can do is a site inspection.  You need to be able to walk through the physical location in order to understand how guests will experience getting around the destination. It is also important to see what type of transportation exists, what activities there are, where your guests will be staying, and who the local vendors are.  The list goes on…

I recently traveled from the azure blue ocean in the Bahamas to the strong inky mercury sea in Maine for 2 back to back site-inspections.  I snapped some images of these incredibly different but equally beautiful sites. 

I was in heaven with both of these sites, due to my passion for rugged landscapes…they will be the perfect canvas for me.

I am always sweetly amused by local signage!
