Brooklyn Botanic Garden Wedding : The Palm House : Brooklyn, NY

Late spring at Brooklyn Botanic Garden has a way of doing the work for you. The greens are confident. The light is generous. Everything feels awake.

Olivia and Sunjay were married on one of those days.

The ceremony unfolded on the lawn beneath a sweeping weeping willow—branches dipping low, framing the moment like it had been waiting for them. Soft afternoon light filtered through the leaves. Nothing was forced or rushed.

Inside The Palm House, color carried the room. Bright, cheerful florals by Rebecca Shepherd played beautifully against glass and greenery—joyful, vibrant, alive. It felt like spring fully committing.

There’s a calm that settles in when a day is well held. Exquisite Affairs Productions coordinated everything with quiet precision, allowing the day to unfold naturally—giving Olivia and Sunjay the space to be exactly who they are together: fun-loving, relaxed, and completely at ease.

That ease shows up everywhere. In the way they laugh. In how they move through the garden. In moments that don’t ask for attention but reward it when you notice.

Alongside me was Fen Video Production—one of those collaborators who just gets it. Professional, thoughtful, unobtrusive. The kind of presence you want when the goal is to preserve a day as it actually felt.

This was a wedding that didn’t try too hard. It didn’t need to. The light showed up. The garden showed up. And Olivia and Sunjay showed up for each other—fully, joyfully, without pretense.

Some days just do that.
