An Intimate Central Park Elopement at the Ladies Pavilion in New York City

These two lovebirds met in Oxford (yes, the one in the UK). Jen was there, studying for her masters, and James was there, studying for his PhD.  Jen is from New York City, and James is from the UK. They fell in love while rowing together on the same team- so they share an affinity towards boats.  They are the funniest, quirkiest couple I've photographed with yet.  I knew Jen since HS, she's a friend of mine at LaGuardia High School.  Since then, she's gone all over the world to study ancient artifacts, go on digs, and write up our history!  I have a friend that is a REAL archeologist! I love it!! And she is now at Brown University doing her Ph.D and studying all the ancient works of our earth! It is SO cool. Jen and James really wanted a "New York City" wedding.  It was small and intimate affair at Central Park, but afterwards, they wanted to get photographs to remember their time in New York City together.  We hit up pretty beautiful spots in Central Park, and then stopped by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (for history, of course!) and then some over in Brooklyn. (Where Jen is from!).  

It was such a beautiful day, a beautiful wedding ceremony and a beautiful group of people to spend time with. I’m so happy that they chose me to be their New York City Wedding Photographer!!!  I'm so happy for Jen and James and I wish them the best on their journey as husband and wife!

Williamsburg Brooklyn, A New York City Wedding

Judy is a native Brooklyn nite, and had her entire wedding down in Brooklyn. She got ready back at her parents house, with the infamous chinese tea ceremony, and then a BEAUTIFUL reception in Williamsburg at Juliette Resturant (amazing French cuisine...BY THE WAY..) Judy is also a fashionista and it was a beautiful affair, full of amazing details and quirky items (her kick-ass gold hightop- Michael Kors sneakers!!) that really made the wedding a collection of their personalities. Dave is an impressive "BANE" impressionist, a fun and happy guy, who just really gave off such a welcoming and love towards his new wife's culture and family. It was a beautiful wedding, a beautiful combination and just a beautiful mixture of family, cultures and fun... did I say beautiful enough??! I loved this down to earth, New York City Wedding. Check out some of the highlights of their New York City Brooklyn Diverse and Multicultural Wedding:

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.

Round Hill Mansion Wedding in Hudson Valley, New York

One snowy February, with the magical essence of winter swirling through the air, Eliza and David tied the knot in the heart of Hudson Valley. Remarkably, it had snowed heavily a couple days before their wedding; but on their day, it was the perfect, warm 70 degree weather to celebrate their love. What are the odds? This vivacious couple declared their love, colorfully in the eclectic Round Hill Mansion. They gathered their loved ones to their intimate, charming, rustic wedding. Tucked away in a cozy manor, they all danced the night away, filling the ambience with cheeky giggles and bliss. It was a beautiful space and a wonderful atmosphere away from New York City. It was a nice change of scenery and pace from the typical new york city wedding!
