Box House Hotel Wedding - Brooklyn, NY - Eugene & Justin
Eugene & Justin had their laid-back wedding at the Box House Hotel in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on a windy day in April. The two met online in 2017 when they were both living in NYC, and wanted to host their wedding in the city they fell in love, and that means so much to the beginnings of their relationship.
Skylark Wedding - Manhattan, NYC - Ned & Jason
Ned & Jason live in Chelsea, so to show off the neighborhood to their guests they chose the SKYLARK rooftop cocktail lounge in Midtown as their wedding venue. They wanted their wedding to feel more like a really long cocktail hour/party than a stuffy sit-down dinner- and the Skylark delivered. With its giant picture windows showcasing the epic NYC skyline views (especially of the Empire State Building), and open multi-level floor plan with couches and nooks situated throughout for people to get comfy and mingle during the unseated reception and dance party- it was the perfect unique venue for them.
Housing Works Bookstore Wedding - Manhattan, NYC - Julie & Christian
Julie & Christian have been in love for over 30 years. They met in NY during college through a mutual friend, dated for a summer, broke up, and their lives parted ways. They each got married, started families- and then eventually divorced.
One day Christian’s sister Sarah randomly saw a Facebook post Julie wrote, lamenting that she was on dating apps- and hating it. Sarah called Christian, told him Julie was single again, and there was no hesitation- Christian booked a flight ASAP to reconnect with Julie. And here we are, gazing at their wedding photos.
As it turns out, each was “the one that got away” for the other. That mutual friend that introduced them? Yeah- she officiated the ceremony, adding in some personal insider stories (which ended up being their favorite part of the whole day.) Even their teenage kids kind of knew it in the back of their minds- which was disclosed during their pre-written toasts at dinner.
Green Building Wedding - Brooklyn, NY - Jenah & Joe
I knew we were the perfect fit from our first phone call. They both work for non-profits in the city- Joe is in environmental engineering, and Jenah is a screenwriter. Their friends call them the “King & Queen of South Slope.” They’re all about community. “We want to live our lives not just ‘doing no harm’ but leave it a better place for the people around us.”
In-home engagement session in Brooklyn & Prospect Park - Alyson & Jason
For Alyson & Jason’s engagement session we hung out at their apartment just south of Prospect Park in Brooklyn (only 4 blocks away from where I live!) And then we took a walk to the park to capture the neighborhood they live in, and show off the beginnings of some fall foliage.
DUMBO Engagement Session - Brooklyn, NY - Sam & Mark
Sam & Mark are good friends of mine from college, and live just across the river in West New York (which is technically in NJ?) So they took the train in and we explored around Dumbo at sunset, and then grabbed tacos and caught up.
