501 Union Wedding in Brooklyn in New York City

Jill and Justin, proud Brooklynites, avid marathon runners, and dedicated Knicks fans, selected 501 Union as the reception for their wedding. Drawn to its stunning ambiance that perfectly showcased their beloved neighborhood, they wanted the vibe to reflect their personalities. The day was a spectacular celebration of love and community, with both families gathering from near and far to witness their heartfelt union. It was an honor for me to capture these precious moments as a New York City wedding photographer, and here are a selection of my favorite shots from their unforgettable day!

The Green Building Wedding in Brooklyn New York City

Sunny and John really wanted their wedding to be a FUN and HUGE party with their friends and family.  They rented out the Green Building in Gowanus, Brooklyn — and it was definitely the place to do it!  It was a gorgeous space to have their ceremony and then dance the night away.  At one point, Sunny's family broke out in a choreographed dance to surprise her and John!  It was seriously amazing. I love shooting Brooklyn weddings and being able to get that gritty industrial and urban look of New York City. It’s always a fun time to shoot New York City weddings and make beautiful photographs! Here are some of the highlights of the day:

501 Union Wedding in Gowanus, Brooklyn in NYC

Laurie and Matthew travel a lot for work, but they call Brooklyn, New York City their home. It was fitting that their guestbook and table cards were themed for travel and airplanes.  It was such a pleasure working with these two amazing individuals! They had a very carefree attitude and some hilarious comedian friends. Not only was their venue gorgeous - they had their wedding ceremony and reception at 501 Union — but every thought and detail put into the day was accordingly suited to showcase their personalities. We started the day getting ready and then walked around the Brooklyn neighborhood for their wedding portraits and finally ended the night with dinner at the 501 building. It was such a gorgeous, laid back and fun party and really is the type of feeling that is a classic New York City wedding.
