Weylin Wedding - Brooklyn, NY - Dixie & Eric
It all started at the Bowery Electric in the Lower East Side, when Dixie winked at Eric from across the bar during a mutual friend’s party. After she went in for the kiss and gave him her number, their destinies were set. Two years later, Dixie and Eric were engaged, sharing a home in the Upper East Side, where they enjoyed runs in Central Park, and frequent traveling. In her own words, Dixie said: “We’re not above a casual bottle of rose on a weeknight.” They wed less than three miles away from their original meeting place, just a hop across the East River at the Weylin in Williamsburg.
MyMoon Wedding - Brooklyn, NY - Alex & Maddy
Alex & Maddy wed at MyMoon, a converted boiler room from Williamsburg’s industrial heyday turned chic Spanish style tapas bistro. Their guests convened on the restaurant’s spacious patio, amid urban, rugged decor paired with lush greenery and flower-filled bud vases. After the couple exchanged vows, they were joyfully showered in a flurry of bubbles.
Rule of Thirds Wedding - Brooklyn, NY - Parker & Jeff
Parker and Jeff, after meeting 10 years earlier on OK Cupid, decided to make it official at Rule of Thirds in Williamsburg in Brooklyn for their modern Jewish wedding. The couple decided to have the wedding in Brooklyn to show off the borough they love to friends and family, many of who traveled from out of town and were in NYC for the first time!
The heat was brutal that day, but the couple were cool as cucumbers as they got ready at William Vale with a stunning city sky line view. The two then explored Brooklyn and the surrounding neighborhood, heading to the waterfront and Marsha P. Johnson State Park (had to pay tribute to one of the most prominent figures of the gay rights movement!) They also wanted to show off street art and wheat-pasted walls while they walked to the venue- little details that are quintessentially Brooklyn.
The two emphasized they wanted a silly and romantic vibe for their wedding day, something that Rule of Thirds, one of their favorite restaurants, was the perfect venue to accommodate. The space was full of natural light pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. A curtain separated the ceremony space from the reception area. The concrete walls, natural wood details, lush tropical plants and large skylight helped in building a natural and warm feeling to the multicultural wedding.
Wythe Hotel Wedding - Brooklyn, NY - Jenn & Ty
Jenn and Ty were married at the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn after being together for five years. The two met at the Public Hotel where she worked and he played pool every Friday. After some flirty small talk, he asked her on a date and the rest is history!
Sunday in Brooklyn Wedding - Williamsburg - Sara & Nizar
Sara & Nizar celebrated their wedding with an intimate dinner at SUNDAY IN BROOKLYN with their closest friends and family in Williamsburg, where they’ve lived built a life together the past few years. Sara is Iranian-American & Nizar is Pakistani/Burmese and felt an immediate connection when they met on Hinge 4 years ago. Truly, their love for each other beams from the other side of the room. Nizar proposed on a trip to Anguilla in December 2021, with a ring that was custom designed by Sara’s friend who’s a jeweler. A few months later they connected with me to photograph their wedding celebration!
MyMoon Wedding - Brooklyn, NY - Emily & Tatsuya
MyMoon is such a unique wedding venue, with so much character you truly don’t need to bring in any extra decor at all. A beautifully re-imagined 19th-century boiler room- with exposed brick, reclaimed wooden floors, lofty ceilings, and unique metal sculptures throughout- creates a warm rustic environment. The open sky courtyard with potted plants and seating nooks for people to mingle during cocktail hour, contrasts the industrial, moody interior used for receptions. The ceremony space is framed by twinkle lights and crawling ivy walls, and is outfitted with a retractable roof as a built-in rain plan, so you can have an outdoor ceremony no matter the weather (they even have heaters!)
