Public Resturant Wedding in Lower East Side Nolita, Manhattan New York City

I knew Mary Beth and Thomas were super awesome when I first met them.  We chatted about their wedding day vision, their ideas, their style and their little Shiba Inu Pup! (View him in their engagement photos)  I knew their New York City wedding was going to be a ton of eye candy... and I was going to have an amazing time getting some amazing new york city photographs.....and I totally did.  It was hard to even edit down "favorites"... I had way too many!!  They got ready at the Nolitan Hotel- which is a gorgeous Hotel in downtown new york city, beautifully designed lobby and space with a rooftop view of all sides of the NYC Manhattan skyline.  One side, the Empire State building, another, the Williamsburg bridge and then the Freedom Tower. (WTC)  Their ceremony and reception was held a couple blocks over at Public.  Which was such a chic and elegant space.  I personally love photographing around the Nolita area- love the juxtaposition of the edginess and elegance.  It was such a great day!!  We ended the night dancing away, their little nephew packing moves better than Bruno Mars and tattooing our bodies. A great night to be out and about in New York City photographing such a sweet wedding! Here are some of my favorites:

Bobo Restaurant Wedding in West Village, New York City

Nancy and Tim now live in Seattle, but wanted to have their wedding in New York City! They used to live in New York and had since moved but most of their wedding was planned while being across the country in Seattle!  They utilized and depended on the internet and images to help with the selection of their NYC venue and vendors.  They found and fell in love with Bobo, a chic French restaurant in the West Village, New York City.

Nancy and Tim are laid back and cool and have a great eye for design and aesthetics.  Even though they were. planning from afar, they came into NYC the week before the wedding and got everything together for their special and gorgeous wedding day.  Nancy hand picked her top from BHLDN, a gorgeous lacy piece, and paired it with a simple sleek skirt from Jcrew.  Tim looked great in his Jcrew suit — and the two of them looked like they walked right out of a bridal magazine!  

We started the day at Stumptown Coffee for some coffee and to give the couple some energy, then spent some time roaming around the west village getting gorgeous portraits of the two.  We also found an amazing brownstone with a red door that reminded them of their time in Barcelona (where the two met while studying abroad!!).  Afterwards, they had their intimate ceremony in the balcony of the NYC restaurant Bobo, surrounded by family, friends and the soothing songs from a ukulele.  It was such a beautiful day to meander around New York City and I was so honored they chose me to be their new york city wedding photographer. I love days like this, exploring new york city, having a wonderful and sweet couple and friends and family to celebrate with!! It was a pretty awesome day.  Here are some of my favorite snaps:

Lower East Side New York City Intimate Elopement and Reception at Freemans Restaurant

Kas & Michael had a beautiful New York City Winter Intimate wedding. Kas got ready at the super chic and gorgeous Ludlow Hotel and Michael met her there and we had their first look at their gorgeous garden area. Afterwards, we hopped around the lower east side photographing at some of their favorite places to snack and even grabbed some ice cream at Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream! We then headed over to Freemans Restaurant - a lovely gem in NYC for their wedding ceremony with close family and friends. The atmosphere, love and food was all perfect!!

Intimate Wedding Ceremony in New York City with Friends and Family
