Best of 2021
I convinced myself it was important to do a review of our 2021 wedding photos and what I realized it’s totally impossible to showcase all of my favorites! To be clear, we have delivered around 25000 photos to our 2021 clients and each and every one was in some way special to them and to us because it was an important part of their story. What follows ahead is a very tiny snippet of all the joy, beauty, emotions, epic locations and most importantly amazing people who trusted us to document their most important relationships and moments!
Thank you to my amazing team of photographers and videographers who helped me tell these stories!
Snowy Winter Brooklyn Botanic Garden Wedding
My 2020 started with this gorgeous celebration at the Palm House in Brooklyn Botanic Gardens!
Catherine and Tyler saw each other for the first time in the snow filled gardens but we quickly changed the scenery to more tropical and desert vibes for their portraits! I think having these unique green spaces is one of the reasons I love BBG so much for weddings! You can really make some magic happen no matter the weather outside.
“The biggest stand out memory I have from the day of is the surge of adrenaline and nerves that I felt as the morning progressed until the very moment I would see my future husband for first look photos. The moment I was with him and holding his hand, I felt safe and comfortable like I could conquer the world. The rest of the day and evening went by as a blur, the most fun party of our lives, and all I needed to enjoy it to the max was be reunited with my partner.“ - Catherine
Fall Brooklyn Winery Wedding
I can’t believe I will be back at Brooklyn Winery in less than 3 months! So here is a throwback to this colorful celebration of Mary Beth and Jaren back in 2019:) Can’t wait to document love stories this year!
Wythe Hotel Garden Terrace Intimate Wedding, Brooklyn, NY
Back before small weddings were a thing Shanaya and Chris got married amongst their closest family and friends in a gorgeous private Garden Terrace at Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn. Their stylish celebration was even featured on OneFabDay and it was certainly well deserved. You can check out all the beautiful details below! But most importantly I love how effortless and laid back their wedding felt. Shanaya and Chris let me get creative with what might seem like a pretty plain backdrop of concrete walls and garage doors before they exchanged their vows inside a cozy candlelit room surrounded by their loved ones.
Thank you for having me and thank you for making intimate weddings cool;)
Center for Brooklyn History at Brooklyn Public Library Wedding, NY
Finally sharing this special celebration of Ashley and Julia in Brooklyn Historical Society. It was a laid back day exploring Brooklyn with these two and their bridal party followed by a beautiful ceremony set in a library room of the Historical Society building. From the moment I met Ashley and Julia at a coffee shop I felt so connected to their love story and their wedding day turned out to be full of so many touching emotional moments. It was truly a pleasure documenting Ashley and Julia’s love story and reminds me of why I miss weddings so much during this quarantine!
The Weylin, Williamsburg Wedding - NY
Celebration of color and love in one of Williamsburg’s most iconic venues - The Weylin!
Jamie and Jerome's Brooklyn Bridge Park Wedding
It’s 2020 and I am beyond excited to get back to blogging all of the beautiful celebration I have in my queue:) First up is an international NYC love story of Jamie and Jerome!
Jamie: “My friends and I were out for her birthday and I was the 7th wheel. I guess they had felt bad and had asked their boyfriends to bring someone later that night. We were in an East Village dive bar when Jerome walked in. I thought he was tourist with his thick French accent and I thought "Score! Summer fling!" Well, here we are 7 years later!”
Yunika was lucky enough to work with Jamie and Jerome on their intimate wedding day and I am absolutely in love with their mini Brooklyn tour around their favorite hang out spots:)
