The Foundry Wedding - NYC Wedding Photography - Craig Paulson Studio

Sara and Mitch tied the knot with a beautiful wedding this summer at The Foundry and we had a lovely time shooting this joyful and elegant wedding in Long Island City.

A wedding full of classic New York skylines, urban aesthetics, and dancing into the night…what more could one want? Tara Angelopoulos from Dream Makers did a fantastic job planning this event incorporating great traditions such as lighting a handmade unity candle and various dances performed by the bride, groom, and loving families. The bouquets and flowers created by the talented group at Bride and Blossom added the final touch. 

The bride prepared for her big day at the Ravel Hotel and blew their guests away with a dress by BLHDN while the groom wore a handsome suit designed by Kenneth Cole. After the couple spent some time getting ready, they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day, took some stunning portraits and headed back to The Foundry where they exchanged vows and enjoyed the rest of their magical evening. Such a wonderful event that was a pleasure to be a part of!

A Blue Hill Dream - NY Wedding Photography

We are very happy to share the details about Christiana & Joshua's wedding day. The beautiful bride to be, created their perfect wedding by working with amazing vendors from the New York area. It all came together at the iconic location at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. 

As the bride and groom both got ready surrounded by their friends and family, Hedgerow & Co. made sure the venue is beautifully decorated with their gorgeous floral arrangements. Christiana wore a truly classy gown made by the one and only Pronovias. No wonder she took Joshua`s breath away walking down the aisle.

The guests and the bridal party was in awe as they witnessed the bride & groom tie the knot.

After the ceremony it was time to celebrate with a reception dinner catered by Blue Hill at Stone Barns and entertainment by Hank Lane Music. What a perfect way to dance into the night!
