Brooklyn City Hall Elopement and Brooklyn Bridge Park Portraits with Margaret & George

Margaret and George invited their close family to witness their intimate ceremony at the Brooklyn City Hall in New York City. Margaret’s grandfather who is 102 (!!) flew all the way to New York City from Texas to come and see his granddaughter be married! It was such a sweet ceremony and we were able to capture such memorable moments and also beautiful family portraits right after. After the ceremony, we went to Brooklyn Bridge Park because Margaret and George live there and wanted to capture some of their portraits in their local neighborhood. It was such an amazing time photographing in the area, getting photos in front of Jane’s Carousel and the beautiful Skyline of New York City!

Intimate New York City Elopement at The Groom's UES High School Chapel and Reception at the Luxembourg House

Megan and Chris met in the London— but they both grew up in New York City! So when they got engaged in London, they decided to have a small intimate ceremony with their family and friends back in New York City first then have a bigger celebrating in London after! They chose to have their ceremony at the Chapel at Chris’ High School on the upper east side, have some portraits taken right nearby at Central Park and the ended the night with a light reception at the Luxembourg House.  It was very sweet to celebrate in such a unique space with decades of history and culture. They had envisioned a celebration that felt like a fun and festive house party with their closest family and friends and it very much felt that way!
