Karen & Moe | NY City Hall Wedding Photographer | NYC Elopement Photography
Karen and Moe came down from Canada a few weeks ago to get hitched at City Hall. I had a fantastic time with them both. These two are clearly very much in love and it was a wonderful day to wander through the city snapping all sorts of fun photos!
City Hall was crazy that Friday, so we snuck outside for a few photos while we waited for their number to be called.
These guys were pretty excited to be married. Couples like Karen and Moe are why I adore shooting elopements.
Married, hurrah! High fives all around! 
From there we wandered a bit through Tribeca, and then jumped on the train across the river to Brooklyn Heights.
The new bridge they’ve put in to the park down from the promenade is awesome for photos with the skyline and some green space.
I love how green the Brooklyn Bridge Park is!
We finished off the evening with a trip back into Manhattan up to the NY Public Library.
Karen and Moe, thanks so much for having me! Congratulations to you both!
Carol & Bob | City Hall Wedding Photographer | Manhattan Marriage Bureau | Central Park
When I first had coffee with Carol on a rainy day in September, I knew right away I wanted to work with her. She was incredibly genuine and knew the most important part of this whole deal was the marriage not the fancy wedding affair. Fast forward a few weeks to their elopement, and I was right. This day was wonderful in every way.
As I mentioned in their preview post, Carol and Bob are the real deal. These guys have known each other for 18 years, live together on a sail boat, and they couldn’t have been more radiant and in love on their wedding day if they tried. Couples like Carol and Bob are the reason I love shooting elopements. They were one of the warmest, happiest, most in love couples I’ve worked with and left me with a smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon.
I’m not sure I’ve had a more smiley bride then Carol. She’s either laughing or has an amazing grin on her face in about 99.7% of the photos I took. This girl was seriously glowing sunbeams the whole afternoon.
I think she likes him… What do you guys think? 
Their friends and family from Canada came down for the day and were loads of fun.
I’ve seen a lot of City Hall weddings at this point. But you guys, this one might just have been my favorite. Not only because we got the awesome officiant guy at City Hall (seriously, he’s amazing for each and every wedding of the million I’m sure he does each day) but because of Carol’s reaction to a little ring surprise. Bob warned me beforehand that there would be a special surprise with the rings, but didn’t tell me what. Well, Carol’s face says everything don’t you think?:-)
Carol had been wanting a special fancy wedding band, but Bob said it was too grand and that they couldn’t afford it. So they got simple bands instead. Little did she know, he had purchased it for her without her knowing as surprise on their day.
The officiant saw how excited she was and basically said, “You can go ahead and give him a kiss now if you like!” It was about the sweetest thing ever.
Yay! After the wedding, we all hopped in a limo and headed up to Central Park for a few more portraits!
We ended the afternoon with Bob and friends serenading everyone with a song written just for Carol. Bob and Carol, thank you SO much for having me! You day was just fantastic and I had a wonderful time getting to know you both! Best wishes and loads of congratulations!
Diana & Bobby | Vermont Wedding Photographer | Craftsbury, VT
Diana and Bobby found me through APW right about when I found out I was going to be moving up to Vermont. She gave me a call and asked if I’d be interested and it turned out their wedding was literally 3 days after I moved in. How perfect is that timing? I couldn’t say no! In addition, I also found out that Diana went to undergrad in Minnesota and knows people I played volleyball with in high school! It was so fun to meet a few other Midwestern folks at the wedding.
This wedding was just awesome, I’m so excited I got to be a part of it. Diana and Bobby are two of the most laid back, fun people I’ve gotten to work with and this wedding was so perfectly them. They held things at a house way out in the middle of nowhere in Craftsbury, VT. Seriously, I don’t know if I’ve ever driven that far on a dirt road. But, it was worth it. The setting was beautiful.
I love the pint glass favors and the paper cut out decorations!
I’m kind of in love with this ring shot.
These two were married overlooking the mountains. Just perfect.
They followed things up with an awesome reception that included a pig roast and brick oven pizzas! YUM!
Diana and her friends also can throw a crazy fun dance party!
Oh! And! Because they’re amazing, they had an aunt bring in ice cream cake from a special place Diana used to work at in Boston on dry ice. ICE CREAM CAKE! Why does this not happen at every wedding?? Side note: I love ice cream.
Just before the sunset I also made sure to snag them for a few more portraits. LOVE the golden mountain light!
And then it was back to the party!
Serious fun times had by all. 
Diana and Bobby, I can’t thank you enough for such a warm welcome and amazing introduction to the Northeast Kingdom. You guys are awesome! May you have many wonderful years ahead! Congrats!
Brooke & Kristen | New York City Elopement Photographer | Central Park | Ladies Pavillion
Brooke and Kristen are both graduate students in Georgia and came up to NYC to get married on a beautiful summer morning. This was just part of their wedding festivities as they also had a big celebration and wedding in Ohio the following week as well!
The ceremony was in the Ladies Pavilion, performed by the fabulous Genevieve of Cheerleader for Love (hurray APW connections!)
I love the matching shoes!
After making things official,
hugs and a quick toast, we headed out to explore Central Park and take loads of gorgeous photos!
There also needs to a be quick pause to admire Brooke and Kristen’s gorgeous peacock purses! Aren’t they awesome?
Ladies, you two make SUCH a cute couple!
I will always love couples that are willing to take a little walk in the woods.
Dance in a meadow in sunglasses? Obviously.
Congrats ladies! Thanks so very much for having me, I had a ball! I hope you had a fantastic wedding in Ohio and a beautiful honeymoon in Italy! Best wishes for many years of happiness!
Diana & Bobby | Vermont Wedding Photographer | Sneak Peek!
Oh, you guys, this wedding. So much amazing. Thanks so much to Diana and Bobby for an incredible introduction to the Green Mountain State! I’m so pumped about these photos!
There is officially nothing like a sunset in the mountains. Gorgeous.
Have a fabulous honeymoon in Italy you two! More to come!
Beckie & Jeremy | New York City Elopement Photographer | Empire State Building
I love elopements. Seriously, I’m pretty sure if I got hitched again, I would totally elope. So much love, so little stress. Pretty much perfect any way you slice it. Beckie found me on APW (yay awesome!) and emailed me about week before she and Jeremy were heading to the city asking if I’d be up for a last minute elopement. Of course!
These guys were the sweetest couple ever.
Love this.
Before their ceremony we started off with a portrait session in Central Park. It was an amazingly gorgeous day, especially for late December!
These guys are too CUTE!
I love this image.
From the park, we made our way downtown to the Empire State Building. That’s right, these two went for the top! 102 floor I believe to be exact. Word of advice to anyone who’d like to attempt this in the future, be sure to get express tickets! (Beckie did this in advance and it was marvelous.) Also, it’s a bit crowded, so be prepared for a bit of an audience and to make some tourists very happy!
Things were officiated by Cheerleader for Love, another awesome APW sponsor!
Their friends even brought them wedding cupcakes! Hurrah!
After the wedding, we had a bit of time so wandered around to Bryant Park, NY Public Library, and a quick stop at Grand Central.
Beckie and Jeremy, thanks so much for inviting me to be a part of your fantastically lovely afternoon! It was so much fun and I wish you many years happiness!
Happy Holidays!!
