The air buzzes with anticipation behind the pristine white curtains at Kleinfeld Bridal's runway show, the iconic New York City bridal salon made famous by TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress." As an NYC wedding photographer who specializes in editorial style photography, documenting these intimate pre-runway moments of Pnina Tornai's latest collection feels like a perfect marriage of fashion and wedding photography.

Pnina Tornai, renowned for her signature corset designs and intricate beadwork, has outdone herself with this season's collection. In the controlled chaos of the backstage area, I witness the transformation of each gown from its garment bag to its runway debut. My editorial approach to wedding photography allows me to capture these fleeting moments with the same artistic vision I bring to my couples' wedding days.

The collection features Tornai's hallmark attention to detail – hand-sewn crystals catching the light as makeup artists put finishing touches on models, ethereal veils being steamed to perfection, and couture gowns receiving their final adjustments. Each dress tells its own story, from romantic ball gowns with dramatic sweetheart necklines to sleek, modern silhouettes that redefine bridal fashion.

As a luxury wedding photographer in New York City, I'm constantly inspired by the intersection of high fashion and bridal wear. These backstage moments at New York Bridal Fashion Week inform my approach to wedding day photography, allowing me to bring an editorial eye to every celebration I document. Whether I'm capturing the intimate moment a bride first steps into her Pnina Tornai gown or photographing the grand entrance at a Manhattan wedding venue, my experience in both fashion and wedding photography creates images that are timeless yet fashion-forward.

This exclusive backstage access at Kleinfeld Bridal reminds me why I fell in love with wedding photography in New York City. The energy, the attention to detail, and the pursuit of perfection mirror what I strive to deliver to my wedding clients. Every wedding is a fashion moment waiting to be captured, and every bride deserves to feel like she's stepping onto a runway on her wedding day.
