Sarah & Pete | Elope in New York City | 6BC Botanical Garden | The Highline

Sarah and Pete, you guys made for SUCH a fantastic day! These two teachers came all the way from Western Australia to get hitched in NYC! I’m pretty sure that’s about as far as you can possibly travel for a wedding. And they brought the awesome. Sarah let on that she had been religiously stalking my blog for photo ideas and we took a grand tour of the city to make all sorts of magic happen.

They started off with a ceremony and one of my most favorite gardens in the city, the 6BC Botanical Garden in Alphabet City. Their ceremony was officiated by the always wonderful Judie Guild with their close family present. One of my favorite little details I’ve seen in some time, they read their vows off of vintage NYC postcards! How cool is that? After delicious cupcakes, we took a few more photos in the garden, and then headed off! From the skyline views and colorful streets of Greenpoint, Brooklyn to Tribeca, The Highline, and Washington Mews, these guys rocked! I can’t thank you both enough for being so wonderful!

Loads of congratulations to you both! (And I will be asking to meet up for a beer someday when I make my way down under! )

Jon and Katie came across the pond from the UK to get hitched at City Hall in New York City this past September. We met up first at Central Park for photos around the Bethesda Terrace and Bow Bridge, and then made our way down to City Hall. These two had a beautiful day and were a blast to work with! Thanks so much for having me and congratulations to you both!

You may remember Amy and Jenn from their super fun Philly engagement session earlier this summer. The pair headed up to the Bear Mountain Inn in the Hudson Valley for their wedding this past September and had an absolutely beautiful day! I loved everything about working with both Amy and Jenn, these are two of the sweetest, most fun girls you’ll have the chance to meet. From a gorgeous green scenery , a fabulous wedding party, heartfelt vows, to a crazy dance party, this was one awesome day!

A huge thanks also goes out to my second shooter, Lindsay for being all around fantastic!

We started the day with Jenn and Amy at their hotel for a few getting ready shots.

Off to Bear Mountain for a first look!

I would say Amy’s pretty excited, wouldn’t you?

You know what’s awesome? Two brides happy to hike in the woods in their wedding dresses for beautiful photos.

Lindsay’s view above!

Their ceremony was held on the back deck of the Inn. I loved the sign they displayed before the aisle.

Married!

I love recession shots! So much happiness!

On to the reception, these girls threw one heck of a party! I haven’t seen that much awesome dancing in a long time!

Jenn also gave a surprise guitar performance! Please note her amazing rainbow shoes as well.

Amy & Jenn, I wish you two many years of happiness! Congratulations and thank you SO much for having me!

Oh my goodness, do I fall love in Central Park!

Andrea and Chris came over from the UK to get married in Wagner’s Cove this afternoon and it was just perfect. I had such a great time wandering all over the park with these two, and the fall colors are right at their peak. More to come!

Congratulations guys!

Jin & Matt | Riverside Church Wedding | NYC Wedding Photographer

admin — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 21:52:55 +0000

You may remember Jin and Matt from their gorgeous engagement session at South Street Seaport earlier this year. These two are so warm and friendly, and are so completely in love it made my job a piece of cake! They were married early in September in a small ceremony at the Riverside Church way up on Manhattan’s west side. I’d never been inside this place before, but the Riverside is simply stunning. Take a peek if you’re ever up on 120th.

I met up with Jin while she was getting ready, and then we headed out into Riverside Park for some photo taking. I love this area for photos, the trees with the stately columns are so photogenic. Oh yes, and this super elegant couple made things pretty great too!

Jin’s dress with Matt’s tux complete with a classic bowtie? Perfect. (Oh, and that bowtie is no clip on kids. Matt learned proper bow tie skills right before the wedding, impressive.)

After portraits, we headed into one of the tiny chapels for their ceremony. The inside of Riverside Church is simply stunning!

After the wedding, I stole them for a few more minutes to grab just a few “We’re married!” photos!

Then it was up the top floor for their reception!

Another Momofuku Milk Bar Cake! YUM!

Their first dance had a surprise guest, he stole the show!

Jin and Matt, thank you SO much for having me. I wish you both the very best! Congratulations!!

I had an amazing morning with Matt and Lucy! These two flew over from the UK and were an absolute ball to work with. I’m pretty sure they were making goofy faces and giggling 95% of the time. My kind of people.

Congrats to you both!
