📍 The Ceremony: Manhattan City Hall Elopement

Angela and Jonathan arrived hand-in-hand at the Manhattan Marriage Bureau — full of nerves and excitement. City Hall weddings move fast, but the emotions are anything but rushed. Between the glances, the laughter, and that moment they were pronounced husband and wife, I could feel the love radiating from these two.

Angela wore a minimalist white dress that fluttered in the spring breeze, paired with sleek heels and soft waves. Jonathan kept it classic with a sharp tailored suit. Simple, stylish, and so them.

After the ceremony, we stepped outside to soak up the iconic NYC vibes — classic architecture, taxi horns in the background, and that unmistakable City Hall energy. We took some quick portraits just outside the courthouse — there’s something beautiful about blending love stories with the real energy of the city.

🚖 Off to Brooklyn: Dumbo Photo Adventure

Next stop: Dumbo. We hopped in an Uber and crossed the bridge into Brooklyn, where cobblestone streets, red brick warehouses, and skyline views awaited. If you’ve never been to Dumbo before — picture this: the Manhattan Bridge perfectly framed between buildings, sunlight reflecting off the East River, and one of the best backdrops NYC has to offer.

Angela and Jonathan strolled through the neighborhood, soaking it all in — sharing kisses under the Manhanttan bridge, dancing in the middle of the street, and laughing in the golden glow of the afternoon sun. We shot in some of my favorite Dumbo locations: Pebble Beach, Washington Street, and right by Jane’s Carousel. Their chemistry made my job easy.
