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!

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

Margaret and George invited their close family to be a part and witness their intimate ceremony at the Brooklyn Cityhall 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 grand daughter be married! It was such a sweet ceremony and we were able to capture such a memorable moment and also beautiful family portraits right after. Margaret and George live in Dumbo and wanted to capture some of their portraits in their neighborhood at Brooklyn Bridge Park - and it was all so beautiful!!

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!

Bobo Restaurant Wedding in West Village, New York City

Nancy and Tim now live in Seattle, but wanted to have their wedding in New York City! They used to live in New York and had since moved but most of their wedding was planned while being across the country in Seattle!  They utilized and depended on the internet and images to help with the selection of their NYC venue and vendors.  They found and fell in love with Bobo, a chic French restaurant in the West Village, New York City.

Nancy and Tim are laid back and cool and have a great eye for design and aesthetics.  Even though they were. planning from afar, they came into NYC the week before the wedding and got everything together for their special and gorgeous wedding day.  Nancy hand picked her top from BHLDN, a gorgeous lacy piece, and paired it with a simple sleek skirt from Jcrew.  Tim looked great in his Jcrew suit — and the two of them looked like they walked right out of a bridal magazine!  

We started the day at Stumptown Coffee for some coffee and to give the couple some energy, then spent some time roaming around the west village getting gorgeous portraits of the two.  We also found an amazing brownstone with a red door that reminded them of their time in Barcelona (where the two met while studying abroad!!).  Afterwards, they had their intimate ceremony in the balcony of the NYC restaurant Bobo, surrounded by family, friends and the soothing songs from a ukulele.  It was such a beautiful day to meander around New York City and I was so honored they chose me to be their new york city wedding photographer. I love days like this, exploring new york city, having a wonderful and sweet couple and friends and family to celebrate with!! It was a pretty awesome day.  Here are some of my favorite snaps:
