Fort Tryon Park Elopement Photos
It was 2020, City Hall was shut down and parties were non existent for the most part but couples still found a way to commemorate their love. Marina and Sean are no exception. They told me they live in Greenpoint and they have two great cats they want to be part of their wedding photos. A little at home session followed by an intimate ceremony in Fort Tryon Park was the perfect adventure for Marina and Sean at the end of one of the weirdest years of our lifetimes:)
Best Of 2020 and How Couples Celebrated Love During Pandemic in NYC
Here is a look back at all the small and big celebrations of 2020! It was a testing year for all of us and I am so grateful for all of my couples for celebrating love in these weird times:)
The Green Building Wedding Photos - Ari & Becca
Ari and Becca met each other during admitted students weekend in college! These two knew early on that they were in it for the long haul - it felt like they had known each other forever they admit. They moved in together during college, and then decided to apply to grad schools together. They both ended up at the University of Michigan, adopted a couple of cats, Ari proposed shortly after and the rest is history!:)
Ari and Becca, when I was going through your wedding gallery to pick the top photos from your day to really showcase all the joy and emotions experienced by all it was ridiculously hard because there was just so much:) From your beautiful ceremony to some of the most hilarious speeches by your siblings ending with everyone having a blast on the dancefloor - it was pure fun! Also, ending the night with waffles is strongly recommended to everybody:)
