This elopement you guys? It was so awesome. A week after marriage equality was passed by the Supreme Court, Ira and MJ were married at sunrise in front the historic Stonewall Inn in the West Village. Ira and MJ are from the Philippines where same sex marriage still isn’t recognized, but they wanted to make things official while MJ was visiting.
I met up with Ira and MJ at their apartment in the West Village and then we headed out to explore their favorite spots, including a stop in the West 4th subway station and Washington Square Park. The light was glorious… have I mentioned how much I LOVE sunrise elopements in New York City? Because they are awesome. As Ira & MJ exchanged vows, we had the neighborhood almost to ourselves. It was fantastic. After their joyful ceremony by the lovely Judie Guild, we wandered through the rest of the village and these two girls rocked it. I had so much fun shooting this session. One of my favorite things is to just wander neighborhoods with couples, and that’s exactly what we did. Ira and MJ have incredible style and the camera loved them both… almost as much as they clearly are crazy about each other.
I can’t thank you ladies enough for inviting me to be a part of your day! Congratulations to you both!
