A New York City Nolita Wedding - The Musket Room

Philina and Andy got married in a sweet community garden and park in downtown New York City, Nolita. It was an intimate affair, with just close family and then a sweet reception over at The Musket Room with friends. Philina works in the fashion industry, so her creative taste and mind had a huge part in the details, the dress and overall look of her wedding.. and it clearly shows that she has amazing taste!! Her flower crown was made by her mother in law and her wedding gown was an original Carolina Herrera design- because that was her boss!! And let’s not forget her amazing Jimmy Choo gold sparkle shoes! Their wedding was beautiful, romantic and fun. Andy and Philina both personalities that fit each other so well and their love for each other was magnified through their vows and their actions towards each other. Here are some highlights:

Vinegar Hill House Wedding, Brooklyn, New York City

Nicole & Matthew had a sweet, intimate outdoor ceremony in the quaint little neighborhood of Vinegar Hill. Hidden away, they said their vows to each other and celebrated the occasion with delicious dinner, heartfelt toasts and bangin CAKE at Vinegar Hill House Restaurant !! Both amazing people with impeccable taste, they had chosen a beautiful restaurant and spruced it up with bits and pieces of their personalities. I loved being a part of this multicultural union and celebrating with their families! They even had a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and tried to include everyone on this wonderful tradition! It’s so great to be a new york city wedding photographer!

Here are some highlights from the day:

Foxfire Mountain House Wedding in Catskills, New York

Charlotte and Jeff took their guests out of NYC upstate to Mt. Tremper, NY in the Catskill Mountains and to the enchanting hotel and venue Foxfire Mountain House for a weekend of wedding celebrations. During the wedding day guests could choose from activities like a complimentary yoga class or hiking to Kaaterskill Falls before attending the main event at Foxfire Mountain House that evening.  It was a gorgeous Fall day with beautiful foliage, which made it even more beautiful to photograph.

Guests filtered into the mountain house for pre-ceremony cocktails before stepping out onto the veranda to watch the couple tie the knot under a modern chuppah designed and built by the bride's architect father. After the ceremony,  guests could explore the venue's grounds, which included a lily pond and adjoining pavilion. The festivities then moved to the reception tent with a unique Moroccan tiled dance floor! In between dancing to the band the Loyales, guests could enjoy snapping photos in the vintage airstream photo booth and dining on the local farm to table multi course meal provided by Foxfire as well.  Here are some highlights:

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!!
