A Capitale Wedding – Carly & Michael

A few months ago, our blog featured Carly and Michael’s engagement pictures from an intimate afternoon in Central Park. We were so excited for their wedding day at Capitale, and it turned out to be an absolutely breathtaking event. Stepping into the luxurious bridal suite at Capitale, we were greeted by a flurry of activity as Carly’s bridesmaids helped her prepare to step into her gorgeous Vera Wang gown and Jimmy Choos. After making sure everything was in place, we followed her to her and Michael’s first look. We then made our way to City Hall, which proved to be the perfect location for portraits of the couple.

We headed back to Capitale for the ceremony, where Carly and Michael tied the knot as their loved ones looked on. As their guests congratulated the newlyweds, we snuck off to capture the first images of the incredible reception space, which Andrew Pascoe had transformed into a scene out of a fairytale with incredible floral arrangements and dramatic uplighting. We celebrated late into the evening with Carly and Michael, and captured every second of the action. We’re proud to share these stunning images with our readers! Congratulations Carly & Michael!

A Cipriani 42nd Street Wedding – Spencer & Jonathan

When we first met Spencer and Jonathan and they told us they were holding their wedding at Cipriani 42nd Street, we knew it was going to be a one-of-a-kind event. We arrived at the venue just in time to capture Spencer, with the help of her bridesmaids, preparing for her big day. After meeting up with Jonathan, we took the entire bridal party around midtown Manhattan, turning heads and capturing the fun-filled spirit of the day.

Shortly after, we headed back to Cipriani, and spent some alone time with the couple inside the breathtaking main hall. Dramatic uplighting worked in tandem with the majestic pillars and marble floor to create a truly magical scene. After the ceremony, we joined the guests and captured candid images of the celebration. The newlyweds and their guests are sure to remember this event for years to come, and we were happy to be able to capture those fond memories for Spencer and Jonathan.

A Fresh Meadow Country Club Wedding – Lauren & Ian

A picturesque afternoon greeted our photo team as they arrived at Fresh Meadow Country Club, eager to catch the moments leading up to Lauren and Ian’s first look. As she was being helped into her breathtaking Rivini gown, we got down to business, capturing all the unique details that had been so meticulously planned out. Finally, Lauren stepped into her Jimmy Choos and we headed outside into the sunshine to meet Ian.

We toured the sprawling property with the couple, taking in the scenery and capturing romantic moments between them. Soon enough, time had come for the ceremony, and we hurried inside where the guests had taken their seats, anxious for a look at the bride. The couple exchanged vows, and shared their first kiss as husband and wife amid cheers from their loved ones. The lavish reception, with elegant floral arrangements and design by Metro, was topped off by a spirited performance from the spectacular Marianne Bennett. Surrounded by their family and friends, the couple celebrated into the night, as they began a new journey together.

A Trump SoHo Wedding – Carly & Seamus

When we contacted Carly about providing some information for her blog post, she was so excited she sent over a beautiful summary of her big day with Seamus! We’re so happy to share images from this incredible couple’s wedding!
Our wedding day was just perfect! we both started the day getting ready in our suites at the Trump Soho New York. While getting my hair and makeup done in the suite, seamus was able to unwind with his buddies.  We did our “first look” outside of he front of the hotel and with lots of different celebrities staying at the hotel we had paparazzi taking pictures of us which was interesting! 
We loved taking pictures in the park next to the hotel in soho, Chris also found some cool spaces within the hotel to take some pictures too, like the library and the sohi room.We loved how short, sweet and special our ceremony was and loved the beautiful decor. It was like a dream, standing on what seemed to be the top of the world while saying our vows.  After some tears and our I Do’s we had a cocktail hour then moved back upstairs to party the rest of the night away back the SoHi Room with family and friends.
