Andrea and Alice celebrated their legal marriage in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Their reception was held at the gorgeous Old Stone House with elegant DIY decor and a focus on all things love and family.

Erica Camille met these two at the New York Pride Parade, and has become great friends with them in addition to photographing their wedding. Erica shared these photos with us and they are fan-flipping-tastic.
