The Green Building Wedding Photos in Brooklyn

On a perfect day in Brooklyn, two college sweethearts got married in front of their closest family and friends. The bright blue skies started off their wedding day on the right note as Luisa got ready at the new 1 Hotel at the foot of Brooklyn Bridge Park. It has breathtaking sweeping views of the New York City skyline and Brooklyn Bridge. The Brides sisters gifted Luisa a stunning pair of Bella Belle shoes and commissioned an artist to hand paint a bottle of Veuve Clicquot with meaningful locations to the couple including where they got engaged.

The groom waited patiently in front of The River Cafe garden to exchange their first look. This location is very special to the couple because it’s where Rich asked Luisa to be his wife! We visited the iconic DUMBO waterfront for their bride and groom photos. We visited St. Anne’s Warehouse, Jane’s Carousel, and stood in front of the Brooklyn Bridge. Their bridal party arrived and we took their photos by the beautiful brick openings at St. Anne’s Warehouse.

The couple got married at an intimate wedding ceremony at St. Mary Star of the Sea in Cobble Hill before heading over to The Green Building for their wedding reception. It was the perfect night to enjoy the outside patio for cocktail hour. To celebrate the Brides Mexican heritage, bits of Mexican flare were all over the green building. From the white Papel flags after their wedding ceremony, to strings of flags decorating the cocktail hour space. The couple gifted their guests hand painted Mexican morocco’s designed with their wedding dates. Such a wonderful touch for an incredible couple!

Brooklyn Winery Wedding Photos

One of my all time favorite venues to photograph weddings is the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg. It’s a smaller venue that tends to be more charming and intimate for weddings, and of course, their wine is incredible! Each time I’m asked to document a wedding and the couple chooses Brooklyn Winery for their venue, I get excited!

Colleen and Andrew’s wedding is one of my favorites. They are just the sweetest couple who were truly made for each other. They compliment each other so well and they are a joy to be around. Colleen wore the most delicate lace wedding dress, twig and honey gold leaf hair pin and a pair of CatBird earrings she had picked up the day before. Andrew looked handsome in his navy suite and custom sunglasses that had the couples wedding date printed on them. The both got ready at the William Vale hotel so we decided to have their first look in their private rooftop garden in brooklyn. The look of happiness on Andrew’s face when he turned around to see Colleen with open arms waiting for him was truly touching.

We visited the brand new Domino Park for their bridal party photos which are some of my favorites before heading back to Brooklyn Winery to prepare for their wedding ceremony. In front of their wedding guest, Colleen and Andrew exchanged laughs, tears, and wedding vows to officially become husband and wife. The night was so much fun and it was a true honor to be part of their wedding day. They are going to have a wonderful, adventurous life together and can’t wait to see what happens next for this amazing couple! xo

Riverside Park Engagement Photos in New York City

I'm so excited Katie and Harry's engagement photos in the iconic Riverside Park on the Upper West Side in New York City. This park is very special to the happy couple as they spent lots of time together reading books in the park while they were dating before they got engaged.

Also, You've Got Mail is one of Katie's favorite movies and The 91st Street Garden is where the iconic scene at the end of the movie takes place. The public garden is incredible and was in full bloom when we visited during their engagement session. They are the sweetest couple and I cannot wait until their wedding this Summer at The Foundry in Long Island City. xo!
