Intimate New York City Elopement at The Groom's UES High School Chapel and Reception at the Luxembourg House

Megan and Chris met in the London— but they both grew up in New York City! So when they got engaged in London, they decided to have a small intimate ceremony with their family and friends back in New York City first then have a bigger celebrating in London after! They chose to have their ceremony at the Chapel at Chris’ High School on the upper east side, have some portraits taken right nearby at Central Park and the ended the night with a light reception at the Luxembourg House.  It was very sweet to celebrate in such a unique space with decades of history and culture. They had envisioned a celebration that felt like a fun and festive house party with their closest family and friends and it very much felt that way!

A Central Park Cop Cot Elopement / Wedding in New York City

Kim had her friends meet her at the hotel to get ready, grab a drink and some photos on the rooftop before their intimate wedding ceremony. We then headed over to Central Park to the Cop Cot to meet Will and the rest of their friends and family for their wedding ceremony. Walking through the busy streets of midtown Manhattan to make your way to your fiance is such a unique and fun way to get married! It was a sweet and beautiful ceremony which also included their beloved dog and best dog friend! After the ceremony, we headed to the Lower East Side of Manhattan for some cool mural and graffiti shots, ate some delicious ice cream from Morgensterns, and finally ended up at Hotel Chantelle, for everyone to celebrate more with food and drinks!

New York City Central Park Elopement of Amy and Anthony

Amy and Anthony had a destination wedding planned in Italy but wanted to have a more intimate ceremony in the heart of New York City inside of Central Park. They enlisted the help of a great friend to officiate their ceremony and got married right in front of the Bethesda Fountain inside Central Park. Afterwards we took photos around Central Park then headed over to Washington Square Park and picked up some delicious pizza at their favorite spot! It was such a great day! Here are some of my favorite shots:
