New York Wedding Photography - A Douglaston Manor Wedding - Chris and Christina

Happy three months to this lovely couple! Chris and Christina got married in July, starting their special day off at Trinity Lutheran Church, a beautiful historic church in Astoria, Queens. Later on, they celebrated their big day at The Douglaston Manor, where they could not keep their eyes off each other.

While the bride was preparing for her big day, the groom was getting ready at the Paper Factory Hotel. The bride's elegant bouquet was put together by Rigas Floral Mart, in Richmond Hill. Christina looked stunning on her big day, thanks to her Melissa Polito, and Maria Vlantis at Metamorphosis New York. Make You Dance Entertainment got everyone on their feet, celebrating this beautiful couple. All the magic and love was captured by NST Pictures. Christina did a wonderful job planning the wedding of her dreams, and giving us the pleasure of being there on their magical day.

Winter Wedding in New York City

Ever dreamed of a New York wedding during Christmastime?  Well Mimi and Matt had just that!  From Santas on the street to the glowing lights of Central Park, the night was truly magical!  

Their reception took place at the New York Athletic Club.  Planner, Laura Irizarry, did an incredible job of creating an intimate evening for their guests to enjoy.  And as always, Element Music, kept the bride and groom dancing the entire night!

Michael and Mark’s New York Wedding

This wedding had it all!  From the intimate ceremony, to the heartfelt speeches, to the lively dance floor, it was clear that Michael and Mark were meant to have the wedding of their dreams.

It was a gorgeous day in NYC and before the ceremony, we were able to capture a few sweet moments between the two.  The reception took place at Joe’s Public Theater  which couldn’t have been a more perfect venue for the night!

We were thrilled to be part of such a special (and fun!) event!

Lily and Joe’s Intimate New York Wedding

This was definitely one of the more memorable weddings I’ve had the pleasure of being part of!  Last June, Lily and Joe made their titles of Mr. and Mrs. official at the local courthouse.  After saying their I Do’s, we all headed over to Battery Park City to meet some of their closest friends and family for dinner and drinks.

It wasn’t until October that they had their actual wedding reception.  The intimate affair was held in Flushing at the Royal Queen Restaurant.  Meena from 5th Avenue Weddings did a great job incorporating all of the Chinese traditions that were important to the couple.

The focus was on the food, the tea ceremony, the speeches, and the toasts with each table.

Before heading to the banquet, the couple saw each other for the first time at Kissena Park which is where we were able to capture some amazing outdoor shots.

This wedding was such a fun reflection of the couple and we loved every minute of it!

Laura and John’s New York Wedding

This was definitely one of the more romantic weddings we’ve had the pleasure of shooting.  Although the weather was gloomy, the mood was anything but.   The Park set the stage for an intimate gathering amongst family and friends.

Laura looked gorgeous in her Maggie Sottero gown.  And Meena Lee of 5th Avenue weddings and events created a night to remember.

Street Justice Entertainment kept the party going long into the night.  We loved every part of this classy New York wedding!

Alyssa and Andrew’s Elegant University Club Wedding

If we can use only two words to describe this wedding, it would  be ‘pure happiness’!  The day was filled with so much love and laughter, it was a true pleasure to capture every moment of Alyssa and Andrew’s elegant University Club wedding.

Wedding Planner, Kerri-Lynn of Stella Day Events‘ use of blush and gold created a romantic ambiance alongside the stunning beauty of the venue.

Music performed by Element Music had the guests on the dance floor all night!  It was a great celebration of two people in love!

Laiyin & Daniel’s Brooklyn Winery Wedding

There’s nothing better than a Brooklyn wedding in the Fall!  Laiyin and Daniel choose the Brooklyn Winery as their venue, which made for an incredibly romantic night.  With low strung lights, rustic wood details, and gorgeous floral designs by Rebecca Sheperd Floral Design, the venue felt as if we were having an intimate dinner in the couple’s home.

The night was filled with laughter, tears, toasts, and fun.  This was a memorable wedding for sure!
