MANHATTAN BRIDAL INSPIRATION | MANHATTAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

As Seen on Whimsically Wed:

For this shoot, I hoped to capture the dreamy mood of a bride-to-be as her special day is about to unfold. The shoot took place in the morning of her wedding in West Village NYC. The light was gorgeous in this beautiful pre war building. She wore an embellished tulle dress with romantic flutter sleeves and a classic silhouette by Marina Semone. The floral palette was blushed apricot tones and it complemented the chartreuse foliage and hints of dusty gold very well, thanks to the vision of California based stylist Tanya Gyani. Her soft and blushed makeup and loosely tied bun hairstyle was done by the talented Hoboken based Up and Out Salon

BETHESDA TERRACE AND TOP OF THE ROCK ENGAGEMENT | MANHATTAN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

Aleli and Chris were born and brought up in Canada and Toronto is where their romance began and blossomed. For past few months, Aleli has been living in NYC and doing a long distance relationship with Chris while planning a destination wedding in Mexico.

Bethesda Terrace in Central Park and the Top of the ROCK in NYC are two of the couple’s favorite places in the city and also this photographer’s. So, you can imagine the amount of fun we had documenting their sweet love story in these two iconic locations.

LIGHTHOUSE BY CHELSEA PIER WEDDING | MANHATTAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHE

Tiana and Kirk had a fall wedding in Manhattan. We started the day in Midtown East at Intercontinental Barclay where the couple got married. We used the beautiful lobby of the hotel for their first look, family and bridal party portraits. The ceremony took place in Soho at The Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral. This 200 year old stunning cathedral which also happens to be the Couple’s church is the original Cathedral of the Archdiocese of New York. For reception we drove west in a vintage checker NY taxi cab to Lighthouse by Chelsea Pier. The venue greeted us with beautiful sunset for portraits during cocktail hour. The couple, family and friends danced the night away with an incredible performance by the Hank Lane band. It was an incredible day and I was so honored to document it all for my sweet bride and groom.
