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!

An Intimate Backyard Wedding in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City

Pooh & Peter live in Queens and wanted to keep their wedding as local as possible! They got ready at the Paper Factory Hotel in Queens, New York City. It was such an adorable and gorgeous hotel with some many great spots to photograph at! One of my favorite things they had was this amazing book wall staircase - which was so perfect because Pooh loves to read- and is a teacher!!! With close friends and family, they had a beautiful and sweet intimate backyard ceremony at My Kitchen, Resturant in Forest Hills! It was such a great day! We were able to head over to Gantry State Park to get some portraits and the amazing skyline view of New York City - and just party the night away with some serious DANCING skills!

An Intimate Elopement in a Brooklyn Brownstone In NYC

I had the honor of documenting an intimate elopement tucked away in a charming brownstone in Brooklyn. The scene was so enchanting, with the timeless elegance of the brownstone providing a picturesque backdrop for this sweet occasion. They only invited their closest family, and the ceremony was an intimate affair filled with love, warmth, and heartfelt moments. Jessica and Jason found this beautiful quaint Brownstone in Brooklyn where they exchanged their vows.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their loved ones continued the celebration with a delightful brunch in a nearby Brooklyn park. Surrounded by lush greenery and bathed in the soft glow of the morning light, we seized the opportunity to capture some truly breathtaking photos. From candid moments of laughter and joy to tender embraces shared between family members, each photograph captured the special day in vivid detail. There was so much love and happiness radiating from Jessica and Jason. I felt so happy that I could help photography such a beautiful and intimate time of celebration! Another beautiful way to say I DO in the beautiful city of New York!
