Couples like Eunice and Mamadou are why I love New York City. Eunice is from the Dominican Republic and Mamadou hails from Gambia in West Africa. There aren’t too many other places where people from these two countries would cross paths on a regular basis. But in the Bronx, it’s par for the course, and that’s pretty awesome. It’s also not too often that I get to work with couples where I can show off the one phrase in Wolof I learned while in Senegal, always a win in my book! 
Eunice and Mamadou got married on a pretty rainy day that also happened to be insanely busy at City Hall. However, we made the best of the long wait and still got photos outside with the help of a cute umbrella!
Generally when I do elopements, it’s just me and the couple, or perhaps one other person. However, Eunice had her whole family out for the occasion. It’s about the most people I’ve seen in the little City Hall chapel, and it was pretty fantastic!
Felicidades to you both! I wish you many years of happiness!

Aw, I love the photo of their family surrounding them holding hands. What a beautiful moment.
