Claire and Miles were a HILARIOUS couple. Throughout the shoot, Miles kept making Claire (and me!) laugh like crazy. He is quite the jokester and they both were a lot of fun to be around. The two live and breathe Brooklyn and have such a heart for the culture and history. Miles hails from Ireland, but has been living in Brooklyn for some time, so there is now where his heart lies. It's great working with people who love trying interesting and creative ideas for shots. We were able to walk around Williamsburg, then to the rooftop bar at the Wythe Hotel, then end up at the East River Park for a gorgeous view of the New York City skyline! Here are some of my favorite shots of the session:
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:
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!
A Greece Couple Elopes in New York City - Gramercy Park to Central Park
Despi and Emil decided to get married in New York City and have that dream New York City intimate elopement! They both are from Greece and planned a vacation to NYC, so they thought, "why not also get married here!?" They set up an appointment at the Greece Consulate and had an intimate ceremony with a few close friends and facetimed their family right after. It was a really sweet moment! They had a room at the Gramercy Park Hotel, so we got some fun photographs with the quirky decor and then some more photographs at Central Park. Despi and Emil were a upbeat and wanted to encapsulate their elopement in New York City in a fun way! I was so honored they chose me to be their new york city wedding photographer! Here are some of my favorite shots from the day:
