NY Athletic Club Wedding : Alana & Matt : New York, NY

Alana & Matt were married in September at The New York Athletic Club adjacent to Central Park in Manhattan, New York, NY.

I’ve photographed a number of NYAC weddings over the years but this was my first upstairs in the Main Dining Room. I didn’t even realize it was not in the Ballroom to the extent that I photographed someone else’s table details while thinking to myself - this really doesn’t seem like my couple. Lo and behold, we were in a completely different space which has a more modern, almost Manhatta type vibe with a bar centrally located between lounge and dining areas. I love the party atmosphere this offers as it blurs the line between cocktails, mingling and dining. Flowers by Brian decorated the space beautifully.

We photographed their getting ready and first look on a spacious balcony and the NYAC roof surrounded by NYC skyline before venturing outside for some photos on 59th and 6th Ave. Time flew with these two and soon we came back inside for their ceremony on site. After saying their vows, it was off to the reception for an amazing evening lead by the Ignition Band by Hank Lane. I was joined by my long time colleagues at First Day Films who captured the event in motion.
