Destination Wedding in New York City with a couple from the UK

Katy, a florist from the UK wanted to have her destination wedding in New York City.  Philip and her have been to New York City a few times and knew this was going to be the place.  Their families flew out from the UK to come and support the exciting event and shower them with love and encouragement!  It was a sweet, intimate ceremony inside the New York City City Hall, followed by some amazing portraitures throughout New York City.  Katy really loves the gritty urban look of NYC so we tried to incorporate that as much as possible.  We ventured through Soho, the West Village and Chelsea.  Took her to all the places I love to go to as a New York City wedding photographer. Here are some highlights:

A Queens City Hall, New York City Elopement

My dear friends, Sophia & Ryan currently live in LA, California- but wanted to come back to New York City (Sophia’s hometown) to get married so that her grandma could witness the great moment! They got ready together at the Standard Hotel - East Village then headed over to the Queens (represent!) County Courthouse to get married! Yes, we even took a photo with the 7 train :O) The ceremony was sweet and they were surrounded by their family and close friends and it was a honor and quite an adventure to witness and capture it all!! It was a sweet New York City elopement that was a precursor to their LA Wedding in the following year. Here are some highlights from the day!!

Sweet New York City Elopement at Central Park

DeVante and Tiffany had their covid-friendly outdoor wedding at Central Park with close family. The morning began with a little bit of rain, so we had the ceremony underneath the arches inside the Bethesda Arcade. After the ceremony we explored around Central Park and took some beautiful scenic shots around the park. They also had a moment where it was just them two, saying their own personal vows to each other. It was such a sweet day with a super sweet couple!
