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:
A Wedding at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Jersey City, New Jersey
Lily and Daniel had an beautiful wedding on the New Jersey front overlooking the New York City skyline! It was an perfect November day, with amazing sunshine and warmth. It’s so nice to get out of new york city sometimes to photograph.
Sweet New York City Hall Wedding Ceremony
Victoria and John decided to elope in an intimate and quiet ceremony at NYC City Hall before their big wedding party a few months later. They wanted to have this moment together in their memory and then have the big party reception for all their friends and family. I photographed their intimate ceremony and then we walked around the downtown area nearby city hall to take a photos. We got some photos in front of the court houses and then headed nearby to Chinatown to get some more photos on the streets. We ended our shoot by grabbing a bite at a nearby soup dumpling restaurant! It was awesome to hang out with them and capture these memories with them!
NYC Brooklyn Bridge Park / DUMBO Engagement Photography Session
Jihyoung & Paul were going to have their wedding in Korea but before that, they wanted to do their engagement photography session at the Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo! It was an amazing choice! This park always has the best views and edgy NYC backdrops! I personally love shooting here! They brought along their little pup and we roamed around. Our session included Ice cream from Mister Softee (only the best!!!), lobster rolls from Luke’s Lobster, Jane’s carousel lit up in the background and the New York City Skyline hovering behind a beautiful Brooklyn pier. This is honestly such a great location in New York City to have any type of photo session done! II had a lot of fun with them— so much that we actually did another photography session in the west village with them!! (But that will be on another blog post in the future!)
