Some of my favorite weddings are the ones with no fuss, the ones where its just about the people and the emotion of the day. Katelyn and Kris had that idea, just have some fun taking photos, get married, then enjoy the eat and drink. They wanted to get married in their neighborhood of West Village before they jetted off to London for work, so they had their family and friends fly in from around the country to revel in their nuptials. We started at their home and then headed out to their favorite bar, Entwine, for a few snaps and drinks. We ended at Bobo where we met with everyone to lock in their love. So enjoy a view of their neighborhood.
laura & ryan / can't help but smile
When they say smile's are infectious, they must've been talking about Laura and Ryan. Have a great 2015 everyone.
cynthia & eli / away we go
What happens when you put together a dope couple with a dope venue? You get a dope wedding. Cynthia and Eli's love for each other is apparent in every look and glance and it was my pleasure to capture it all. It also doesn't hurt that Refinery29 featured them as one of five of the best NYC weddings of 2014 and that they were also featured on Brooklyn Bride. With an all star team Brooklyn team of Naturally Delicious, August Sage & Violet, Morgan Gates, and Styles on B under the roof of 501 Union, I knew it was going to be just that. A big thanks to Silvia Foz for manning the 2nd camera and my favorite sprite of a videographer, Courtney of Love + Brain Films for capturing the moving love (see her highlight reel at the end of the post).
kate & steve / cityscapes
Kate and Steve were the most low key couple I have ever had the pleasure of working with. All they wanted were cool portraits and to showcase the party with their friends, what else could you ask for? How about an amazing backdrop for their portraits (the hotel and rooftop of The Nolitan Hotel) and the coolest party space for their wedding (PUBLIC)? With Michelle Elaine Weddings filling the space with great details, I knew this one would be a lot of fun. Also a big thanks to Shannon Sturgis for covering this one with me and if you want to see more details and the rest of the vendors, check out the feature on Ruffled.
claire & eric / bienvenue
I love the classic and dark looks of Manhattan weddings, so Claire and Eric's party was right up my alley. From Claire's gorgeous dress to Eric's sharp tux, everything in between was magic. They were wed at the Millesime restaurant in the Carlton Hotel in Manhattan, which set the backdrop to the mood. A big thanks to Kat Harris for photographing this one with me.
