Fall Brooklyn Winery Wedding
I can’t believe I will be back at Brooklyn Winery in less than 3 months! So here is a throwback to this colorful celebration of Mary Beth and Jaren back in 2019:) Can’t wait to document love stories this year!
Brooklyn Winery Wedding - Gina & Oli
I absolutely love the way Gina and Oli talk about each other!
Oliver loves Gina’s compassion and empathy where no one else would have it, her fierce loyalty to everyone and everything she loves; her classic, timeless beauty, her ability to tolerate him and everything that makes him intolerable, and her relentless love and support that he can always depend on.
Gina adores Oli’s seemingly endless supply of drive and passion; how he never gives up, even when a situation feels hard or hopeless. His insatiable curiosity and just how incredibly smart he is. His tenacity for adventure, willingness to take risks, and ability to admit and forgive mistake whether they're mine or his. She loves his effortless style and confidence, as well as his ability to lift her up and make her feel whole, heard and special.
Their wedding turned out to be the most elegant laid back celebration at one of my all time favorite venues in Brooklyn - Brooklyn Winery. The space is absolutely gorgeous with it’s green wooden walls and industrial brewery backdrops!
Brooklyn Winery Wedding Photos - Moya & Tim
A very special celebration of this amazing couple from Australia - Moya and Tim. Brooklyn Winery ended up being a perfect backdrop for their ceremony and party afterwards!
Brooklyn Winery Wedding, Brooklyn, NYC - Lisa & Andrew
From the moment I met Lisa and Andrew I could see these two have the most incredible loving supportive relationship. We met up in Fort Greene for their engagement photos which turned out so intimate and joyful (engagement blog) and seeing them again together during their first look on the wedding day was so special. Lisa and Andrew cannot help but glow in the presence of each other:)
I am going to leave these word here written by the couple about each other because they are the sweetest:
Lisa - “Andrew is always striving to do better, and to be a continually better version of himself. He is self aware, thoughtful, and compassionate in all areas of his life. His constant striving to be better makes him a hard worker, a great friend, and most of all, a dedicated partner. It is inspiring to be with someone who is continually pushing themselves to keep moving, and to never standstill. He also admittedly loves cats, and never complains about my obsession with corgis”
Andrew - “Kindness, dedication, love, true caring in all relationships only begin to describe what an amazing person Lisa is. She kindles livelong friendships that bear the test of time and distance. She is funny, sarcastic, and even laughs at my goofy humor. Her strength permeates everything that she does, which is evident in our relationship--she is the only reason we have made it this far and the person I am today. She puts others ahead of herself, devoting her time, emotion, and focus for them and their lives. Her devotion knows no bounds! This has made our relationship a true partnership; it guides our future and supports us in the difficult moments. Our families have been through a lot over these past few years, yet Lisa is right by my side giving her love and support. It was her alluring presence that entranced me the first time we met, with her beautiful eyes and striking look, yet her love and strength are her defining characteristics.”
Lisa and Andrew picked Brooklyn Winery for their winter celebration and although it was one of these cold NYC winters we were able to take a stroll down the block from their venue for a couple of photos outside!
