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:

Lower East Side New York City Intimate Elopement and Reception at Freemans Restaurant

Kas & Michael had a beautiful New York City Winter Intimate wedding. Kas got ready at the super chic and gorgeous Ludlow Hotel and Michael met her there and we had their first look at their gorgeous garden area. Afterwards, we hopped around the lower east side photographing at some of their favorite places to snack and even grabbed some ice cream at Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream! We then headed over to Freemans Restaurant - a lovely gem in NYC for their wedding ceremony with close family and friends. The atmosphere, love and food was all perfect!!

New York City Hall Elopement and Reception at Casa Mono

Jessica and Lior wanted their family to share in their elopement in Cityhall.  So the whole troupe met at up at the New York City Hall and supported their vows and intimate ceremony!  Afterwards, a few rain drops broke out---but it didn't dampen the mood and aura of the group!  We proceeded to Casa Mono (A DELICIOUS Michelin starred restaurant!! @__@) for their reception, full of laughter, endearing speeches-- especially from the man who brought Jess and Lior together-- and amazing FOOD and drinks!  It was an awesome experience getting to spend a day with such a sweet group of people!  I love photographing these intimate elopements and capturing the moments that will matter for them in the future! I love being able to be their new york city wedding photographer! Here are some of my favorite moments from the day:
