Our backdrop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art fit them perfectly. Sonya had volunteered there a couple years back and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City held a very dear spot in her heart. They were a really outgoing couple, willing to fight the herds of people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to get beautiful shots. They were patient and a gorgeous couple and I’m so glad they picked me as their New York City wedding photographer! Later this year they'll be traveling to Michigan and India to celebrate with more festivities! It’s so great to capture New York City’s culture and beauty!
A Classic NYC Wedding at the Dominick Hotel in Lower East Side, New York City
Linda & Daniel had their wedding in the heart of New York City. With a beautiful traditional Christian ceremony in a traditional Church of the Heavenly Rest on the upper west side and their reception in Soho at the The Dominick Hotel; no amount of fog or rain could dampen anyone's spirits! It ended up being a gorgeous view and perfect lighting for their portraits- and really highlighted parts of New York City throughout the day. We wandered around the West Village and got some amazing street shots in New York City. We had to add a few umbrellas to the shots- but it was actually a really awesome touch! I love being a New York City wedding photographer !
From Linda's (The Bride) perspective:
"Neither Daniel nor I grew up in New York but had both moved here for work. During our time in New York, we both fell head over heels in love with the city. Especially after we got engaged in the Hamptons, we knew we wanted to have our wedding in New York City, to commemorate and celebrate our time here. From the second we saw the stunning panoramic views of the downtown Manhattan skyline from the top floor of Trump Soho, every other venue paled in comparison. As most of our guests would be coming from out of town, we thought this was the perfect way to showcase for them the city. We chose the Church of the Heavenly Rest for our ceremony because we were enraptured with the majesty and beauty of its architecture, and it most definitely fulfilled the dreams I’d had since I was a little girl of a fairy tale wedding.
For the decorations and floral designs, we wanted to keep everything clean, classic, and elegant. Especially with the stunning architecture of our church and the unique downtown views of Trump Soho, we didn’t want to have too much and detract from their intrinsic appeal.
From my walk down the aisle, to being introduced to all our family and friends as husband and wife for the first time, to dancing the night away with the Manhattan skyline lit up behind us, every detail and every single person we had the opportunity to work with was so perfect and far exceeded anything we had ever imagined."

Gorgeous Tribeca Rooftop Wedding in New York City
While living in Hong Kong for work, these two charming native New Yorkers lovers travelled all the way back to the concrete jungle, to declare their love to the world. Annie amazingly planned this timeless, perfect New York City wedding all the way across the world from Hong Kong! In the strikingly stunning Tribeca Rooftop, wedding bells were ringing for this beautiful couple. Tribeca Rooftop is such a beautiful wedding venue in NYC and despite the intermittent rainy weather, the rooftop at this venue was perfect for letting the bridal party have shelter when needed, and quickly grab flawless shots in the clear moments. Annie & Roberto blissfully celebrated the night away, surrounded by their loved ones, underneath the star-filled skylight. Cheers were heard all around the night for this newly wedded husband and wife! Another amazing night to affirm that I love being a New York City wedding photographer!

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:
