A Queens City Hall, New York City Elopement

My dear friends, Sophia & Ryan currently live in LA, California- but wanted to come back to New York City (Sophia’s hometown) to get married so that her grandma could witness the great moment! They got ready together at the Standard Hotel - East Village then headed over to the Queens (represent!) County Courthouse to get married! Yes, we even took a photo with the 7 train :O) The ceremony was sweet and they were surrounded by their family and close friends and it was a honor and quite an adventure to witness and capture it all!! It was a sweet New York City elopement that was a precursor to their LA Wedding in the following year. Here are some highlights from the day!!

Urban Chic Wedding with an Intimate Ceremony at the Jefferson Market Garden and Reception at the Nomad Hotel

Annie and Stefan envisioned their wedding to be fun, intimate and best of all, allow their guests to have some amazing food. They decided on the Nomad Hotel because of their love for the food there and then chose to have their ceremony at the Jefferson Market Library Garden. It was such a beautiful space! The Library itself is gorgeous and the garden is this beautiful haven tucked away in the busy streets of New York City. It’s such a unique and special space to hold a wedding ceremony. They got ready at the Nolitan Hotel on the lower east side, then headed over to the garden and finally ended the night on the Nomad Hotel’s rooftop. It was a beautiful 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!!
