These two amazing New York City chefs wanted to have an engagement photography session that would capture their personalities and their loves... for each other and for delicious food. They began with sharing dim sum with one another as a starter, then Ryan's famous beef noodle soup. They topped it off with some chocolate souffles ... which tasted... amazing. And yes... as the photographer I got to try some of the food.. hehe! It was really fun working with these two and we got some amazing shots in the process! I love doing things differently and trying new ideas- so much diversity and customs to experience as a New York City wedding photographer!! Here are some of my favorite shots from the session:
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!
Cozy Williamsburg Brooklyn Wedding in the Midst of a Hurricane in NYC
New York City got hit with some high winds that weekend because of Hurricane Joaquin but nothing stopped us. With a high energy and fun bridal party, a stylish bride and groom, nothing could dampen our day. We geared up and breezed through Grand Central for the wedding portraits and had the ceremony indoors at an adorable and intimate restaurant, Le Barricou, which had an awesome vibe of comfort and cozy. Add in some crazy swing dancing, dinosaur wedding favors, AMAZING delicious dinner, drinks and cupcakes- well, it was definitely a night in New York City to remember!! A really unique New York City wedding!
New York City Hall Elopement and Wedding Session
Liz and Soni were having a larger affair in a couple of months, but wanted to do something intimate before their big celebration. They decided to go to New York City Hall and have an intimate ceremony first (just the two of them! Plus me as the witness :D) and a sweet portrait session right after! It was such a great time to be able to photograph them in this moment and then wander around downtown New York City together afterwards! It was a nice touch since they were having their wedding in PA and it was a great idea to get some city landscapes and gorgeous wildness landscapes during the wedding day!
