Fall in love with this sunny birds & dinos Brooklyn boathouse wedding

Fall in love with this sunny birds & dinos Brooklyn boathouse wedding

Anna and Toby had a sunny Brooklyn boathouse wedding with touches of birds and nature, dinosaurs (faux tattoos and cake toppers!), and a stunning green cocktail length dress. It was all about the wildflowers, October leaves, and golden hour sun rays. What a gorgeous way to celebrate a wedding in New York City.

A tale of wedding photography disappointment (and how to avoid it yourself!)

A cautionary tale of wedding photography disappointment (and how this photographer can help!)

“Is it really so hard to get everything you want?” she asked. My heart sank. A Facebook friend had gotten in touch because she needed help. Her wedding photographer had, in her words, “dropped the ball.” She had finally gotten her wedding photos back after months and months of waiting, and… let’s put it this way, she wasn’t crying tears of joy. Important shots were missing. The lake that was what first made her and her then-fiance fall in love with (and ultimately book) their venue was not in any of her photos. Here’s how to avoid that on your wedding day…

Sarah and Tony’s City Winery wedding in New York City was wine, dancing, and puppy-filled amazingness. After getting ready at the Conrad Hotel, their first look and portraits were photographed at the park across the street and at The Irish Hunger Memorial. Their dog, Bailey, joined them as their “pup of honor” and posed like a champ. Don’t miss the wine cellar shots!

A sweet boho family elopement redo in Prospect Park in Brooklyn

Melissa and Rey eloped back in 2016 and wanted to recapture the magic of that day, this time with their baby boy, Aion, to oversee all the festivities. They had a gorgeous and colorful vow renewal at New York’s Prospect Park followed by a picnic of traditional Dominican and Chinese sweets.

Janessa and Tyler rocked a vintage 1970s-inspired theme including Janessa’s custom dress with epic sleeves (made from a vintage pattern), and Tyler’s casual look with a vintage tie. Everything from the locally brewed beer to the French champagne toast had a chic and laid-back vibe. They’re animal lovers so they even had a visit from some alpacas!

This tiny upstate New York wedding had private vows, prayer flags, & so many sentimental moments

Tasha and Priscilla rocked a super sweet, small, and DIYed wedding in upstate New York. They said that they were “kind of winging this whole ‘wedding’ since it’s basically just a party after we elope in the woods in upstate NY.” That’s one of my favorite kinds of parties! Plus there were sentimental moments all over. It’s a doozy…
