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 them married, then we hit up SCARR Pizza for a quick snack—that was absolutely delicious! Best pizza in NYC!! 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. We then 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 experience, filled with amazing foods, family, scenes and moments to remember!

New York City Wedding in an Intimate Garden and Party at one of their favorite Bars in Brooklyn

Rose and Bennett planned an amazing wedding that really captured the essence of them and exactly how they wanted to celebrate their special day. They got ready at the chic and gorgeous Wythe Hotel, and had a very intimate ceremony located in a secret garden in manhattan - a haven that Rose frequented during her work days- and held a special place in her heart. Afterwards, they went and partied hard at one of their favorite Bars and even ordered a Mister Softee Truck to cater to their guests as a dessert! It was SUCH a fun day and I was so excited to be a part of it and capture such a unique New York City Wedding!

Brooklyn City Hall Elopement and Brooklyn Bridge Park Portraits with Margaret & George

Margaret and George invited their close family to witness their intimate ceremony at the Brooklyn City Hall in New York City. Margaret’s grandfather who is 102 (!!) flew all the way to New York City from Texas to come and see his granddaughter be married! It was such a sweet ceremony and we were able to capture such memorable moments and also beautiful family portraits right after. After the ceremony, we went to Brooklyn Bridge Park because Margaret and George live there and wanted to capture some of their portraits in their local neighborhood. It was such an amazing time photographing in the area, getting photos in front of Jane’s Carousel and the beautiful Skyline of New York City!

Intimate New York City Elopement at The Groom's UES High School Chapel and Reception at the Luxembourg House

Megan and Chris met in the London— but they both grew up in New York City! So when they got engaged in London, they decided to have a small intimate ceremony with their family and friends back in New York City first then have a bigger celebrating in London after! They chose to have their ceremony at the Chapel at Chris’ High School on the upper east side, have some portraits taken right nearby at Central Park and the ended the night with a light reception at the Luxembourg House.  It was very sweet to celebrate in such a unique space with decades of history and culture. They had envisioned a celebration that felt like a fun and festive house party with their closest family and friends and it very much felt that way!
