I’m mostly based in New York City and usually shoot the urban backdrops, but sometimes I get opportunities to see other parts of New York State- haha. So for Ian and Meg’s engagement session, we ventured deep to the tip of Long Island, to Montauk. I was able to experience the serene beauty of Montauk Beach. The sun was GORGEOUS and it cast its golden hues across the horizon— and Ian and Meg's affection was so palpable — and I was so happy to be able to document that in their photographs. The entire session was so much fun and I wish them the most beautiful future together.
Gorgeous Golden Hour Engagement Session at Montauk Beach, Long Island
Outdoor Elopement at Brooklyn Bridge Park and 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
Crystal and Nick had their outdoor ceremony and reception at Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York City. We first got ready at the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge - Crystal looked SO STYLISH in her wedding pantsuit (obsessed!) and Nick looking spiffy in his dark suit- the two looked great for our editorial-like photo shoot before the ceremony! :D The backdrop for the ceremony was perfect and they had a lovely intimate and sweet ceremony. With a handful of close friends and family, (and a webcam streaming to more friends and family) they exchanged their vows and rings (rings that they welded themselves…!) right in front of the view of the Brooklyn Bridge and NYC Skyline. Afterward, they had a lovely outdoor picnic and enjoyed their time together. It was such a sweet day and Crystal and Nick were amazing to work with! So glad I get to be a new york city wedding photographer capturing these beautiful and heartfelt memories. Here are some highlights from the day:
A New York City Elopement at Cityhall with Scarr's Pizza during Christmas
Meagan and Michael met while studying abroad. Meagan is from Australia and Michael is from Great Britain. Despite their long distance, their relationship flourished and soon led them to New York City! They decided to have their family join them in New York City for their elopement at City Hall. We started the day at New York City Hall, got MARRIED, then we hit up SCARR Pizza for a quick snack. They then shuttled their family around to get some awesome portraits around the lower east side of Manhattan, some street shots and then of course one of my personal favorite spots, Freeman’s Alley. Picked up some drinks at Cornelia Street Cafe and finally had their dinner reception at Bobo in the West Village. It was such an awesome day and such a unique new york city filled with amazing foods, family, scenes and moments to remember!
Beautiful Wedding at The Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn New York
Andrea and Danny planned a simple, sweet ceremony and reception at the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg. It was gorgeously decorated with a flower arch against the edginess of the venue. The wedding was filled with so much joy and laughter. Beautiful speeches from their friends and family and the most adorable first dances of Andrea and her dad and Danny and his mom. They really know how to get down!! Hahaha! It was definitely a day to remember!!
