Donuts, pretzels, & cheesy photo fun at this New York City elopement

Cassie and Justin met ten years ago, only a year after Cassie had moved to New York from Toronto. They wanted their wedding to reflect who they were: low key but really fun. They invited their closest friends and parents to their sweet and fun New York City elopement.

Get ready for the NYC elopement of all of our dreams…

Follow along at this Brooklyn wedding which takes place at each relationship milestone location

Want to hear the BEST love story to take place in Crown Heights in Brooklyn, NY? Nadira and Dave both moved to the neighborhood before they ever met, got to know each other at a local bar, fell in love, got matching tattoos for their engagement, and got married, all just steps from the apartment they now share together. Each part of their wedding day was held at a place that was a part of their journey, from where they met, to where they went on their first date, to where they got their matching tattoos.

This is one to savor as you follow the journey…

This "Blasian Invasion" wedding channeled films, diversity, and classic NYC

This “Blasian Invasion” wedding channeled films, diversity, and classic NYC

Blasian Invasion! We looked at this as a celebration of the union of our incredibly diverse community. My family is Afroperuvian and my husband is Filipino. Our heritage is very important to both of us, as well as our need for artistic creativity and expression. We wanted to celebrate in our home city, NYC, a place that really embodies these qualities.

A gorgeous wedding with influences of military travels

A fantasy-inspired wedding with influences of military travels

Brenna and Alexander had a gorgeous fantasy and Game of Thrones-inspired wedding with extra inspiration from their military travels, especially to China. The New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden was the background for their ceremony where Alexander recited a poem he’d wrote especially for Brenna.

You could see the influence of things they love: traveling adventures, Game of Thrones, the color purple, and their two dogs/ring bearers (in bow ties!).

Grab a slice with these lovebirds at their NYC pizza party wedding

New Yorkers Rebecca and Jeff were both looking for a wedding that was low-key, romantic, and fun. This turned into one of our favorite kinds of weddings: an intimate ceremony at City Hall, a pit stop at the bride’s mother’s home for a champagne toast and cuddle with their dog, and on over to their neighborhood slice joint. They ate pepperoni pie at the legendary Joe’s on Bleecker Street, complete with “cake” topper, of course. They finished off the day by carving their names for eternity into the wooden booth with a butter knife (a 100% restaurant-sanctioned activity). This was way more than just a pizza party. You’ll want to see it…

This art gala wedding created an exhibition of art by family & friends!

The overall theme was Unity Through Art. I am an artist, and both my husband and I come from a long line of professional artists and grew up immersed in fine art culture. So, we decided to celebrate our wedding in the form of an art exhibit.

We held an art gala wedding that showcased the collective artwork of our closest family and friends and celebrated our local neighborhood of Astoria.
