Public Resturant Wedding in Lower East Side Nolita, Manhattan New York City

I knew Mary Beth and Thomas were super awesome when I first met them.  We chatted about their wedding day vision, their ideas, their style and their little Shiba Inu Pup! (View him in their engagement photos)  I knew their New York City wedding was going to be a ton of eye candy... and I was going to have an amazing time getting some amazing new york city photographs.....and I totally did.  It was hard to even edit down "favorites"... I had way too many!!  They got ready at the Nolitan Hotel- which is a gorgeous Hotel in downtown new york city, beautifully designed lobby and space with a rooftop view of all sides of the NYC Manhattan skyline.  One side, the Empire State building, another, the Williamsburg bridge and then the Freedom Tower. (WTC)  Their ceremony and reception was held a couple blocks over at Public.  Which was such a chic and elegant space.  I personally love photographing around the Nolita area- love the juxtaposition of the edginess and elegance.  It was such a great day!!  We ended the night dancing away, their little nephew packing moves better than Bruno Mars and tattooing our bodies. A great night to be out and about in New York City photographing such a sweet wedding! Here are some of my favorites:

NYC Engagement Photography at THE PUBLIC Hotel ON THE Lower East Side, MANHATTAN

Soran and Jaemin, drawn by the magnetic allure of New York City, sought to immortalize their love story against its iconic backdrop. As a seasoned wedding and elopement photographer, I eagerly embraced their vision of a session that seamlessly blended casual sophistication with urban chic.

Their choice of the Public Hotel, renowned for its architectural splendor, set the stage for a breathtaking series of images that captured the essence of their bond. Against the backdrop of the city's skyline, framed by the sleek lines of the hotel's design, Soran and Jaemin's love shone brightly, a beacon amidst the bustling energy of Manhattan.

Exploring the vibrant streets of the Lower East Side, we embarked on a journey of discovery, uncovering hidden gems and secret corners that spoke to the heart of their relationship. From the historic charm of cobblestone streets to the eclectic mix of cultures and vibrant street art, every location served as a testament to their unique connection.

As a New York City wedding photographer, I've had the privilege of witnessing countless love stories unfold against this iconic backdrop. Yet, Soran and Jaemin's session was truly one-of-a-kind, a fusion of love, art, and the indomitable spirit of the city that never sleeps.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue over the skyline, we bid farewell to yet another magical day in the Big Apple. Soran and Jaemin, their hearts brimming with joy and gratitude, radiated a warmth that lingered long after the final shot was taken. It was more than just a photoshoot—it was a celebration of love, art, and the enduring spirit of New York City.
