New York City Central Park Elopement of Amy and Anthony

Amy and Anthony had a destination wedding planned in Italy but wanted to have a more intimate ceremony in the heart of New York City inside of Central Park. They enlisted the help of a great friend to officiate their ceremony and got married right in front of the Bethesda Fountain inside Central Park. Afterwards we took photos around Central Park then headed over to Washington Square Park and picked up some delicious pizza at their favorite spot! It was such a great day! Here are some of my favorite shots:

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.

A Snowy New York City Wedding Proposal in Long Island City Gantry State Park

Andrew had been planning his proposal to Stella for a few weeks. He had chosen the location, had the ring, had the plan and was ready to go! But never would he had thought that it would snow the day before the proposal. The ground was full of fresh snow and another storm was rolling in soon... so he knew he had to move quick. Andrew put together the final touches on the scrapbook he made for Stella and practiced the song that he would sing to accompany her as she looked through the book. He was going to sing about their 12 dates, but to the tune of "The 12 Days of Christmas". It was really a sweet!! We all huddled together, a group of his friends and I, hiding in the bathroom nearby the spot where he would propose overlooking the New York City Skyline at Gantry State Park. His friends cracked jokes, calmed him down and encouraged him about his exciting future with Stella. It was a lot of fun!! Then Andrew got the call, Stella was on her way to meet him! So Andrew hurried over and the show began...

It was so touching to see them get engaged and also have their backdrop with friends, family and New York City! Afterwards they went to go celebrate :D
