Fort Tryon Park Elopement Photos

It was 2020, City Hall was shut down and parties were non existent for the most part but couples still found a way to commemorate their love. Marina and Sean are no exception. They told me they live in Greenpoint and they have two great cats they want to be part of their wedding photos. A little at home session followed by an intimate ceremony in Fort Tryon Park was the perfect adventure for Marina and Sean at the end of one of the weirdest years of our lifetimes:)

Snowy Winter Brooklyn Botanic Garden Wedding

My 2020 started with this gorgeous celebration at the Palm House in Brooklyn Botanic Gardens!

Catherine and Tyler saw each other for the first time in the snow filled gardens but we quickly changed the scenery to more tropical and desert vibes for their portraits! I think having these unique green spaces is one of the reasons I love BBG so much for weddings! You can really make some magic happen no matter the weather outside.

The biggest stand out memory I have from the day of is the surge of adrenaline and nerves that I felt as the morning progressed until the very moment I would see my future husband for first look photos. The moment I was with him and holding his hand, I felt safe and comfortable like I could conquer the world. The rest of the day and evening went by as a blur, the most fun party of our lives, and all I needed to enjoy it to the max was be reunited with my partner.“ - Catherine

Center for Brooklyn History at Brooklyn Public Library Wedding, NY

Finally sharing this special celebration of Ashley and Julia in Brooklyn Historical Society. It was a laid back day exploring Brooklyn with these two and their bridal party followed by a beautiful ceremony set in a library room of the Historical Society building. From the moment I met Ashley and Julia at a coffee shop I felt so connected to their love story and their wedding day turned out to be full of so many touching emotional moments. It was truly a pleasure documenting Ashley and Julia’s love story and reminds me of why I miss weddings so much during this quarantine!
