Laurie and Matt wanted to do their engagement session at some of their favorite local spots in Prospect Park & Park Slope Brooklyn. We spent some time at Prospect Park, then maneuvered our way over to one of Laurie's favorite bars. It's always so great to be able to go to more comfortable spots and capture people at places where they feel the most at home. I’m so thankful I am able to be their New york city wedding photographer and I will be photographing their wedding at the Green Building in Brooklyn in a couple of months! Here are some of my favorite shots from the session:
501 Union Wedding in Gowanus, Brooklyn in NYC
Laurie and Matthew travel a lot for work, but they call Brooklyn, New York City their home. It was fitting that their guestbook and table cards were themed for travel and airplanes. It was such a pleasure working with these two amazing individuals! They had a very carefree attitude and some hilarious comedian friends. Not only was their venue gorgeous - they had their wedding ceremony and reception at 501 Union — but every thought and detail put into the day was accordingly suited to showcase their personalities. We started the day getting ready and then walked around the Brooklyn neighborhood for their wedding portraits and finally ended the night with dinner at the 501 building. It was such a gorgeous, laid back and fun party and really is the type of feeling that is a classic New York City wedding.

New York City Wedding in an Intimate Garden and Party at one of their favorite Bars in Brooklyn
Rose and Bennett planned an amazing wedding that really captured the essence of them and exactly how they wanted to celebrate their special day. They got ready at the chic and gorgeous Wythe Hotel, and had a very intimate ceremony located in a secret garden in manhattan - a haven that Rose frequented during her work days- and held a special place in her heart. Afterwards, they went and partied hard at one of their favorite Bars and even ordered a Mister Softee Truck to cater to their guests as a dessert! It was SUCH a fun day and I was so excited to be a part of it and capture such a unique New York City Wedding!
Cozy Williamsburg Brooklyn Wedding in the Midst of a Hurricane in NYC
New York City got hit with some high winds that weekend because of Hurricane Joaquin but nothing stopped us. With a high energy and fun bridal party, a stylish bride and groom, nothing could dampen our day. We geared up and breezed through Grand Central for the wedding portraits and had the ceremony indoors at an adorable and intimate restaurant, Le Barricou, which had an awesome vibe of comfort and cozy. Add in some crazy swing dancing, dinosaur wedding favors, AMAZING delicious dinner, drinks and cupcakes- well, it was definitely a night in New York City to remember!! A really unique New York City wedding!
