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:

Brooklyn City Hall Elopement and Brooklyn Bridge Park Portraits with Margaret & George

Margaret and George invited their close family to witness their intimate ceremony at the Brooklyn City Hall in New York City. Margaret’s grandfather who is 102 (!!) flew all the way to New York City from Texas to come and see his granddaughter be married! It was such a sweet ceremony and we were able to capture such memorable moments and also beautiful family portraits right after. After the ceremony, we went to Brooklyn Bridge Park because Margaret and George live there and wanted to capture some of their portraits in their local neighborhood. It was such an amazing time photographing in the area, getting photos in front of Jane’s Carousel and the beautiful Skyline of New York City!

Sunset Brooklyn Intimate ELOPEMENT WEDDING Ceremony at Brooklyn Terminal Park in New York City with Joan and Chris

Joan and Chris live in the Sunset neighborhood in Brooklyn, NYC, and decided to have an intimate little ceremony at Brooklyn Terminal Park with close family. Originally they were planning to get married on one of the Caribbean islands but because of this year’s pandemic- traveling would be out of the question. - things had to be a little different! Instead, they decided to pick their neighborhood park to host their wedding ceremony! We first got some photos at this cute abandoned factory that had SUNSET written on it’s windows (super cool!!) and then wandered over to the Brooklyn Army Terminal (where Chris told me they filmed parts of JOKER at!) and got some cool shots inside and around the area. Afterwards we met up with the family at Brooklyn Terminal Park at the tip of the pier; and with an amazing view of the New York City skyline, they said their vows and promised themselves to each other. It was so sweet! I love these types of days, photos, family and heartfelt vows are really what make the day so special!!!
