What a perfect morning! I love when couples are willing to go for the early morning wake-up call! D and J came from Canada for their sunrise elopement in Brooklyn Bridge Park. They originally had thought about Paris, but decided that NYC was a better choice as the “second most romantic city in the world.” I have to say, New York really does it right with how easy it is to get married in this town. Even though it was a tad bit chilly, you couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. The light was delightful and these two grooms were so handsome and kind. I was a happy photographer.

We wandered over the Brooklyn Bridge (which is really only a good idea at sunrise) headed down through DUMBO and took in a bit of the waterfront. They exchanged vows and were married by a friend right along the river.

Congratulations D & J! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Whitney and Jason came from South Carolina to NYC for their Central Park elopement. Last night was the most beautiful evening and they exchanged vows atop the rocks overlooking Gapstow Bridge. I’ve only done one other ceremony here before, but it’s a great spot and the view is wonderful. The fall colors are holding out and they made for the perfect backdrop with some golden sunset light.

Mirelle of Honeybreak Officiants performed the ceremony and then we took a few photos around the pond.

Congratulations Whitney and Jason! I hope you enjoyed your time in New York and I wish you all the best!

This session was SO much fun! One of my favorite things about engagement photos is when couples decide to shoot in an area that’s special to them. I love wandering your neighborhood and finding new places. Jess and Adam live in Astoria and said they wanted to do their photos in two nearby spots in the neighborhood, the Welling Court Mural Project and the Socrates Sculpture Park. In all my years shooting in the city I’ve never heard of this particular mural project and while I’d heard of the sculpture park, I’d never been there….cue a local city adventure and an excited photographer.

Bright colors are always make my heart happy and the Welling Court Mural Project was awesome! So many fun backdrops! If you’re looking for a fun place to take street art photos, look no further. Jess and Adam were up for all of my crazy ideas and were a total blast to photograph. If it’s not clear by now, I’m kind of a laughter junkie. When I’m taking pictures nothing makes me happier then seeing a couple have a good time and laugh together and Jess and Adam had this in spades and the cutest.

After their two requested spots I also made sure we finished up right on the nearby ferry dock at sunset. We managed to get in some classic skyline as the sun fell behind the buildings, and it was perfection.

Congratulations on the engagement Jess and Adam! I’m super excited for your wedding in just a few weeks!

I love photographing weddings in the Hudson Valley! Diane and Jason are the kindest couple and were married a couple weeks ago up in Peekskill, New York. They had their wedding at the Factoria, an event space right along the Hudson River.

We weren’t sure how the weather was going to turn out, but it ended up being a wonderful day. I started the day with Diane and her friends at her parents home. Afterwards we drove to the Factoria where we waited for the ceremony to start. Diane and Jason opted to wait to see each other until Diane walked down the aisle, always a romantic moment. After they exchanged vows and made things official, we got a stellar sunset and then they danced the night away.

Congratulations Diane and Jason! I hope you had a wonderful evening! Best wishes!

I’ve had such a crazy October I’ve gotten a bit behind on blogging all the wedding goodness! But no worries, I’m starting to work my way back! First up, Tim and Chantelle who came from Australia to elope in New York a couple weeks ago.

These two were so lovely to work with. I met up with them for some getting ready photos at the Roxy Hotel in Tribeca. After everyone was prettied up, we headed downstairs to catch our ride, a vintage checker cab! I absolutely love whenever clients book Peter with Film Cars. Having a driver is always wonderful, but having one as sweet as Peter and your ride be an amazing vintage checker cab is always a treat. We wandered a bit through the West Village for a few photo stops (complete with some halloween decor) before going to midtown to meet Daniella of Once Upon a Vow for their wedding ceremony at Top of the Rock.

I should be a jaded New Yorker, but truth be told I can’t get enough of the view from Rockefeller, the skyline of this city is always amazing and you can’t beat that top of the world feeling. Daniella performed a wonderful ceremony and it was official! We ended with a few photos in the park before I sent them on their way to celebrate the evening.

Congratulations Tim and Chantelle! It was a pleasure to meet you and I wish you both all the best!
