Stylish Love in Brooklyn: Wythe Hotel Wedding Photos
Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn's vibrant Williamsburg neighborhood, the Wythe Hotel stands as a testament to the borough's unique blend of old-world charm and modern elegance. With its exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, it's no wonder why Jason and Dave chose this iconic venue as the backdrop for their unforgettable wedding day.
Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park Wedding Photos, Waterford CT
When I look back at these photos I remember that beautiful calm feeling of love and joy in the air. Katharine and John got married on a gorgeous June day on Connecticut coast at one of my favorite places - Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park. Once you arrive, you instantly feel relaxed and open to the magic of this place with its views of Long Island sound and the lushness of the gardens. Of course, the true stars of the day were Katharine and John who so graciously welcomed their guests and pulled off the most laid back celebration. I am grateful to have been a witness to the love these two share but also the love they share with their families and friends.
“John never makes me guess if he loves me or not. He is the most loving man, whether through words or touch, he’s always reminding me” - Katharine
“She laughs easy and seeks joy in life wherever we are. It is such a gift to have that in my life. She is loyal and has my back in whatever situation I’m in, and I know that we will tackle whatever life throws at us together.” - John
Brooklyn Winery Wedding, Brooklyn, NYC - Lisa & Andrew
From the moment I met Lisa and Andrew I could see these two have the most incredible loving supportive relationship. We met up in Fort Greene for their engagement photos which turned out so intimate and joyful (engagement blog) and seeing them again together during their first look on the wedding day was so special. Lisa and Andrew cannot help but glow in the presence of each other:)
I am going to leave these word here written by the couple about each other because they are the sweetest:
Lisa - “Andrew is always striving to do better, and to be a continually better version of himself. He is self aware, thoughtful, and compassionate in all areas of his life. His constant striving to be better makes him a hard worker, a great friend, and most of all, a dedicated partner. It is inspiring to be with someone who is continually pushing themselves to keep moving, and to never standstill. He also admittedly loves cats, and never complains about my obsession with corgis”
Andrew - “Kindness, dedication, love, true caring in all relationships only begin to describe what an amazing person Lisa is. She kindles livelong friendships that bear the test of time and distance. She is funny, sarcastic, and even laughs at my goofy humor. Her strength permeates everything that she does, which is evident in our relationship--she is the only reason we have made it this far and the person I am today. She puts others ahead of herself, devoting her time, emotion, and focus for them and their lives. Her devotion knows no bounds! This has made our relationship a true partnership; it guides our future and supports us in the difficult moments. Our families have been through a lot over these past few years, yet Lisa is right by my side giving her love and support. It was her alluring presence that entranced me the first time we met, with her beautiful eyes and striking look, yet her love and strength are her defining characteristics.”
Lisa and Andrew picked Brooklyn Winery for their winter celebration and although it was one of these cold NYC winters we were able to take a stroll down the block from their venue for a couple of photos outside!
Intimate Boho Backyard Wedding, Darien CT - Magda and Nico

501 Union Brooklyn Wedding, Hayley + Ryan
It's time I share some Brooklyn love with you! Hayley and Ryan met at work 5 years ago and became friends right away but didn't start dating until a year later after one fateful canceled date Ryan instead invited Hayley to a concert where "a spark" finally happened! I met these two in a their neighborhood Brooklyn coffee shop and they seemed so into each other I knew their day would be fun and full of laughter. Hayley and Ryan told me they are the biggest goofballs who love to laugh more than anything, go on adventures, hang out with their two pups and looking to help out the world! It was a pleasure getting to know these two amazing people and capturing their beautiful stylish Brooklyn celebration!

Frankies 457 Spuntino Elopement, Brooklyn, NYC - Karah and Scott
When you have a couple who met at only 17 while working in a mall in Brisbane, Australia you know you are lucky to capture their love story. Karah and Scott got engaged during their first trip to New York and they both fell in love with the vibrant city. The decision to come back and get married in Brooklyn was an easy one. It was a day full of unexpected delays but, like I told Karah and Scott, I love the unexpected and promised it would all be great no matter what. And it was;)
