India House Wedding : Sarah & Ariel : New York, NY
A June wedding at India House in New York, NY.
I've known Sarah for a decade so it was especially nice to get the chance to photograph her wedding this past summer! Many of my friends from grad school were there which makes for a fun event to shoot. Dating back to the 1830's, India House is buried in a sea of skyscrapers in the Financial District of Manhattan with the ever so perfect address "1 Hanover Sq". Today a private club, it offers a number of iconic rooms which lead guests from the ground floor, up a flight for cocktails and then to the top floor ballroom for dinner. A short stroll from the waterfront, India House is ideally located near many hotels and opportunities for portraiture. I was so excited that Sarah chose Design by Ahn for her decor because they are always one my favorite florists in New York. They perfectly blend the natural, organic look that's become popular with something that is composed and classic. I'm just not someone who notices flowers on a day to day basis and Designs by Ahn is always a vendor I notice. 
Green Building Wedding : Alyssa & Brett : Brooklyn, NY
A late summer Green Building wedding in Brooklyn, NY.
On the most quintessentially perfect street corner in Brooklyn, Alyssa & Brett were married in the distressed brick walled space of the Green Building featuring a ceremony and cocktail hour with friends & family in the open air courtyard. Just steps away lie a number of great backdrops which made their portrait session a piece of cake.

Foundry LIC Wedding : Jamie & Erik : Long Island City, NY
A Fall wedding at The Foundry, Long Island City in Queens, NY.
If I were to have a re-do of my own wedding, chances are it would be at The Foundry. I'll never forget the first time I shot a wedding here. I had never heard of it! This must have been 2010 or so. I show up in what at that time was the middle of absolute no where to discover something that became a phenomenon in the NYC wedding world. It was the first "cool" wedding venue. Ten years later, I still think it's one of the best.Jamie & Eric obviously poured their hearts and souls into their wedding. It took on my favorite vibe of wedding/dinner party featuring dim sum, bbq, a band playing to the beat of a bass drum with custom decor by the bride, and a ceremony officiated by a dear friend. The Foundry has so many nooks, crannies and balconies which make it literally fun to shoot in.

Prospect Park Boathouse Wedding : Melanie & Andrew : Brooklyn, NY
A Prospect Park Boathouse wedding in Brooklyn, NY is one that surrounds your guests in a magical in-the-city getaway. Unlike the Loeb Boathouse in Central Park which is all about being encircled by iconic NYC sights, Prospect Park's boathouse is surrounded by its mystical emerald green reservoir and dense trees giving an almost fairy tale feeling. It's like you've been whisked away to another world.
It's just this kind of setting that makes for an event where people let loose, throw the rigidity of a typical wedding to the wind and have an amazing party. I hope you'll pick up on the intimate, fun, destination feel of this wedding while being smack dab in the middle of Brooklyn.
Preparations began at the stylish Sixty LES hotel before a first look in the park. A ketubah signing set the stage for the ceremony and the rest is history.

Tribeca Rooftop Wedding : Melissa & Scott : New York, NY
A summer wedding at TriBeCa Rooftop in New York, NY.Melissa & Scott's summer affair in lower Manhattan was stunningly beautiful with greenery strung over the custom dance floor (by Shout! Dance Floor Wraps) which sits under the nighttime sky. With the city towering in the background, they were wed in front of all their family and friends. But not before a first look at the Soho Grand Hotel and photo session in Battery Park! Keeping everything beautifully appointed was Sojourner Auguste and team from Erganic Design along with florist Tinsel Experiential Design.
