The coolest duo who met while working in a cupcake shop! Also, I am just going to share Miranda’s words describing their relationship here because I definitely can’t say it better:) “Tristan and I met in Boston while working at a cupcake shop together. Tristan has been my rock the last 5 years. We met at a really interesting time in both our lives. He was finishing school; I was trying to start a business (which failed). He graduated and got his first job; I ended up going back to school. I owe a lot to Tristan for helping me find a career path that I really identify with and enjoy. He's really the best partner I could ask for: supportive, loving, and patient. We take care of each other in complementary ways and I'm really grateful we found each other. I asked him what he loved the most about me and this was his response: I love how no matter the challenge (work, school, side hustles, career shift) you totally just go for it and put in the time and effort. Even if things don’t always pan out, you still went for it. I’ve always loved that about you.“

It was a lucky day for these two with some timing hiccups and avoiding the craziest rain downpour earlier! The clouds opened up and we got the most beautiful moments of their intimate ceremony in Fort Tryon Park:)

Angela and Andy met at an '80's cover band performance. He asked her to dance to "Faithfully" and they’ve been together ever since. Andy arranged for a little dance right after their ceremony in Wagner cove so they swayed to the song that started it all before we went around NYC for some epic portraits! Angela and Andy told me that what they love most about each other is that they encourage each other's joyful sides and want to play, laugh, travel and just be with one another. Originally from NC, Andy surprised Angela with a proposal in their favorite city and they were back to elope in NYC!

It seems fitting to finally share Becca and Dave’s celebration on the blog right before New Year’s Eve because these two had their first kiss on New Year’s Eve back in 2010!

Becca and Dave’s wedding day felt like an adventure! These two decided to have an intimate ceremony at City Clerk’s office followed by an intimate dinner with family at one of my favorite places Freeman’s Restaurant in SOHO. We started our day in Brooklyn because this is where Rebecca and Dave have been living with their adorable pup Scout. Naturally, we did their first look in their backyard accompanied by Scout:) Walked through the gorgeous streets of Park Slope and stopped at Grand Army Plaza for photos. Next stop was City Hall and Becca’s father was let in right before they closed the doors for visitors! We were all anxiously waiting for him to arrive and I will never forget that moment and the couple of photos I shot of Becca breathing a sigh of relief that her dad was actually there to witness their ceremony. I knew then how important it was for Becca and Dave to have family there! After they said their I do’s we explored the neighborhood around City Clerk’s office which is actually very photogenic with its grand architecture. The celebration continued at the Freeman’s Restaurant in one of their private rooms on the second floor but we also did a couple of photos in the iconic Freeman’s Alley.

I am so grateful to capture intimate love stories like this one because a great celebration is not about how big you make it but about having the people dearest to you to celebrate with you:)
