A New York City Elopement at Cityhall with Scarr's Pizza during Christmas

Meagan and Michael met while studying abroad. Meagan is from Australia and Michael is from Great Britain. Despite their long distance, their relationship flourished and soon led them to New York City! They decided to have their family join them in New York City for their elopement at City Hall. We started the day at New York City Hall, got MARRIED, then we hit up SCARR Pizza for a quick snack. They then shuttled their family around to get some awesome portraits around the lower east side of Manhattan, some street shots and then of course one of my personal favorite spots, Freeman’s Alley. Picked up some drinks at Cornelia Street Cafe and finally had their dinner reception at Bobo in the West Village. It was such an awesome day and such a unique new york city filled with amazing foods, family, scenes and moments to remember!

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:
