City Hall Wedding

Eli and Alexandra NYC City Hall Wedding

Simplicity and authenticity are the best two words to describe Eli and Alexandra. Capturing their happiness, authenticity, and eagerness to marry one another, their best friend, was really exciting. As a seasoned wedding photographer, with thousands of weddings under my belt, their city hall wedding in the heart of NYC was special. It was nice that there was no big catering hall, big cake, and a complicated dress to cloud the focus of the day.

Instead of detail shots consisting of uber expensive watches and shoes, the details of their day were the little things; their call number for the wedding paperwork, the pen Alexandra gave Eli, their wedding rings, and Eli’s UVA binder where they first met.

Caitlyn and George - NYC City Hall Wedding

Congrats Caitlyn and George! The fall consists of my busiest time of the year, both with weddings and other photo work (engagement sessions, corporate headshots, events, etc.,). However, photographing weddings at City Hall weddings is one of my favorite events to photograph. A city hall wedding is all about raw simplicity and genuine authenticity. I think they are a true reflection of the couple.

Simplicity and authenticity are the best two words to describe Caitlyn and George. Capturing their happiness, anxiousness, and eagerness to get married was really exciting. And, I say that as a seasoned photographer with hundreds of weddings under my belt. It was nice that there was no big catering hall, big cake, and complicated dress to cloud the focus of the day.

Instead of detail shots consisting of uber expensive watches and shoes, the details of their day were the couple’s letters to one another. Throughout the day, I had to search for details to capture. I had to search for the little moments and wait for the big moments.

After the ceremony, we all walked outside for a couple session and then more family photos.

Ayasha and Adrian - Manhattan City Hall Wedding

Adrian and Ayasha's wedding in Lower Manhattan's City Hall is what wedding photography is all about. I loved capturing their happiness, nervousness, and the pure excitement of watching this couple get married. There were no big catering halls, cakes, and complicated dresses to cloud the focus of the day.

Throughout the day I was always capturing both the little and big moments as they happened. I also directed some shots when appropriate.

City Hall Wedding - Katia + Joe

I love photographing simple weddings and a New York City Hall wedding is my definition of “simple wedding.” Katia and Joe made the jump on Friday August 23, 2019 in downtown Manhattan at City Hall. Post ceremony, we met for family photos and a private couples’ session in Lower Manhattan. Our shoot incorporated the hustle and bustle of the big city, and the contrasting calmness of it’s parks. This was definitely a nice break from the country club and catering hall weddings I often photograph.
