We then walked a few blocks for family portraits at First Street Community Garden. Their ceremony was held onstage at New York Theatre Workshop, featuring an incredible song by The Bengsons.

Jenna got ready at the Paper Factory Hotel, which is only a few mere blocks from my apartment in LIC! From there the bridal party headed to the LIC waterfront at Gantry Plaza for quick outdoor portraits (it was freezing!) and then onto Gantry Loft for the ceremony and party. During the reception it started to lightly snow, and we stepped outside for a snowy night portrait that ended up being my favorite image of the day. Congrats to this lovely couple!

The couple got ready in the park’s cabins, then we went to the New Croton Reservoir for their first look and portraits by the dam. Their ceremony and reception was held at Croton Point Park, which has beautiful trees and waterside views and is a perfect place for an outdoor summer wedding. After dinner and toasts, everyone went inside the lodge for partying and dancing. Bridget is from a family of dancers and she and all her siblings wowed everyone with a family dance routine! Congrats to this lovely and creative couple!

What: a highly theatrical NYC wedding

Where: Signature Theatre

The first job I ever had in New York City was for a non-profit theater company, so I am totally over the moon whenever I get to combine my two passions: theater and wedding photography! Christine got ready backstage in the theater’s dressing room and rehearsal studio. I loved incorporating the unique environment into her prep photos! The main stage was beautifully designed for their ceremony in true Midsummer Night’s Dream fashion. All the readings and speeches were heartfelt and hilarious. Congrats to this fun and theatrical couple!
