Harold Pratt House Wedding : Claire & Alec : New York, NY

Claire & Alec were married at The Harold Pratt House on NYC’s Upper East Side off of Park Avenue in the Spring.

The Pratt House carries the atmosphere of an old New York social club, yet without any of the formality or fuss. No members to bump into, no chatter at the bar. Instead, it offers a kind of quiet, old-world charm and a protected, almost secret feel that makes it perfect for an intimate guest list.

From the moment guests arrived, the building set the tone. A sweeping staircase greeted them in the entryway, inviting everyone upward toward dinner and dancing. On this day, though, the ceremony unfolded on the ground floor — intimate and elegant — before cocktails were shared in the cozy library. Jane Lee of Poppy Flowers filled the rooms with her signature touch, florals that felt both refined and alive. Relish Catering paired it with a thoughtful, plant-based menu that kept the atmosphere relaxed and modern.

With Central Park just a few blocks away, slipping out for portraits along Fifth Avenue was a natural choice — a chance to bring a little of the city’s energy into the quiet magic of the day. Photographing Claire & Alec’s wedding felt like being invited into something rare: intimate, unhurried, and centered on the people who matter most.
