A New York City Wedding at the Standard Hotel in Chelsea and Locanda Verde in Tribeca

It's a bit nippy in January, but 1/23 was a special date to Melanie and Matt.  The day began at the Standard Hotel in Chelsea, New York City, then had their intimate ceremony at St Peter’s Church | Our Lady of the Rosary downtown in battery city.  They chose a really cute little restaurant named Locanda Verde (Which the FOOD IS AMAZING) in Greenwich for their reception and had a really awesome laid back party.  It was truly such an amazing day!!  Everyone was excited and happy for the couple ..and had been waiting years for this day to come!  Every detail of the day was a perfect addition,  her gorgeous dress from BHLDN,  the florals, the bridesmaids gifts - cozy shawls for the outdoor photos =P -- everything couldn't have been more perfect! It was the definition of a New York City Wedding! It’s always so wonderful to be able to capture such a diverse crowd with the union of this multi-cultural couple! Loved it! Here are some of my favorites from the day:

A Sparta, New Jersey Wedding

Everything about this wedding was so adorable!!  Their venue, the Mohawk House was amazing!  It was a cute space with a western american flare. Never knew such an adorable space existed in New Jersey! I mean I LOVE New York City and New York City Weddings, but it’s always so nice to get out of my typical space and see what’s beyond!!  Behind the space, there was an beautiful view of mountains.  It was perfect. Tons of gorgeous daylight and had a very hip decor.  I love Jane and Ki Won- they are such an amazing and hospitable couple.  The wedding started with a ton of rain in the morning.. but the moment we got to the pier to do their first look, the sky cleared- it was a HUGE blessing. We were able to get amazing photographs!!  The wedding ceremony was very touching and the people and family they had surrounding them really lit up the reception. It was beautiful to be a part of such a diverse and beautiful group of people. Maybe I should now say, I love being a New York and New Jersey Wedding photographer - ahahah!!  Here are just some highlights from the big day:

Breathtaking Tribeca 360 (Three Sixty) Rooftop Wedding in New York City

Rita & Ish's love story began in law school, culminating in a beautiful New York wedding where Rita's dear friend officiated, weaving personal memories into the ceremony. Collaborating with Rita and Ish was a joy as they meticulously crafted a day that celebrated their union and embraced their diverse backgrounds. The venue, Three-Sixty at Tribeca Rooftop, offered a stunning raw space and a breathtaking rooftop view of New York City, providing the perfect backdrop for their multi-cultural celebration.

Rita donned a Chinese traditional gown, an Indian traditional gown, and an American wedding dress, symbolizing the harmonious fusion of their heritages. As their New York City wedding photographer, I was privileged to capture the essence of their special day, filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments.. and also highlight the beauty of the skyline of NYC.

Exploring New York City with friends and family for portraits was exhilarating. Capturing Rita and Ish amidst the vibrant backdrop of Tribeca was an absolute joy, their infectious energy making the experience truly memorable.

Here are some of my favorite shots from their unforgettable celebration.
