DESIGNER profiles ◗ the perfect toast ◗ wedding photography Exclusive Bubbly Angel Champagne caters to brides and grooms who want a work of art in every bottle Quite often, special celebrations are capped with a champagne toast. But more times than not, that celebratory toast can actually sour the occasion. That’s because champagnes — even high-end, supposedly premium bubbly — can be harsh or, well, bland. With that in mind, the makers of Angel Champagne set out to rescue the experience of champagne as celebration, crafting a drink that not only stands up to the most emotional of wedding speeches, but serves as an effervescent and delectable wine purely on its own. Angel Champagne is painstakingly created in extremely small batches in the Champagne region of France and offers connoisseurs two distinct drinking experiences — the nonvintage offering caters to those seeking a less intense champagne flavor, and features undertones of green apple and pear, while the vintage variety has hints of pear, brioche, quince and toasted nut flavoring. The result: a champagne that truly deserves to be part of a wedding celebration. To that end, each bottle of Angel Champagne stands as a work of art worthy of a head table or spot in a chilled silver or crystal bucket. Each bottle is coated with four layers of platinum finish, with hand-affixed solid silver labels decorated with Swarovski crystals. In essence, the attention to detail provided to the bottle rivals the attention given to the liquid inside it. For information, visit angelchampagne.com. Imported by MHW Ltd., Manhasset, N.Y. Magnificent Memories Wedding photographs are elevated to an art form when Philippe Lee is behind the lens To some couples, selecting a wedding photographer is just one more thing on a checklist. That’s a pity, because more often than not, the resulting images are a commemoration at best, contrived series of scenarios at worst. But for those couples looking for an experience — and a lasting, unique interpretation of their most important day — there’s Jade Studio Productions and the visionary talents of French-born award-winning photographer Philippe Lee. Unlike typical wedding photographers, Lee brings an eye and sensibilities, culled from years of shooting high-end fashion and editorial projects, to the wedding day, providing couples with a huge bank of images in a number of different distinctive styles. From the selection of photos, couples then can craft a visual style and storyline for a customized coffee-table book that has a unique look — whether it be photojournalistic or whimsical, dramatic or romantic. Plus, Lee’s understanding of cultural preferences is unmatched among typical wedding photographers, providing a framework for a distinctive aesthetic. And because Jade Studio Productions is a high-end multimedia house with a staff of graphic designers, the commemoration of nuptials becomes cinematic. Lee often crafts videos that take on specific themes. The result? Something better than wedding imagery. Art. Philippe Lee Jade Studio Productions’ services are available worldwide.
