99 Scott Wedding : Supriya & Sameer : Brooklyn, NY
Supriya & Sameer were married in Greenpoint, Brooklyn hosting their wedding at 99 Scott in October.
I see a lot of photography of South Asian weddings that seems so melodramatic. I love bringing a more documentary approach so that we can get a sense of personality and let the rich colors and traditions speak for themselves. This wedding at 99 Scott was so full of life - what a joy to photograph.

Tribeca Rooftop Wedding : Jordan & Dan : New York, NY
A summer wedding at Tribeca Rooftop in New York City.
Everything about this day at Tribeca Rooftop was good vibes. I met up with Jordan at the Conrad New York Downtown for some getting ready photos before we met Dan at the Staple Street Skybridge for a first look and portraits. I love that The Conrad is generous in allowing us to use some common areas for a few photos. So many hotels have limitations on this.
At the venue, it was the perfect day for a rooftop ceremony and soon all of Jordan & Dan’s guests arrived for that quintessential Tribeca Rooftop experience surrounded by the Manhattan skyline.

River Cafe Wedding : Brooklyn, NY
Clara & Aaron were married at The River Cafe in Brooklyn, NY on the waterfront.
More and more, couples have been opting to bring me to the rehearsal dinner to capture the day-before festivities. I always love this as it gives me some time to get to know and document very close family and friends. The next day at the wedding, the jitters of being in front of the camera have all but dissipated.
Clara & Aaron held their rehearsal dinner at Hana Makgeolli in Greenpoint and took the opportunity to hold a Korean paebaek ceremony. This serves as the perfect ice breaker for the two sides of family to relax and get to know each other. Wearing traditional hanbok, they honored their parents and family before the fun hazing rituals of throwing chestnuts to determine how many kids they’d have and carrying the bride around the room on the groom’s back. Fun stuff.
The next day I started right at the first look outside 1Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. We meandered our way through Brooklyn Bridge Park taking photos before meeting up with family at The River Cafe. The weather decided to pull a fast one on us so we began with cocktail hour before the ceremony was underway. I kinda loved that - guests arrived leisurely and had a chance to grab a drink and mingle before heading to the garden for the vows. After that 30 minute break from refreshments everyone went inside for the reception. This somehow had a “modern” wedding vibe as the guests all saw Clara before the actual ceremony. Shockingly, no one turned into pumpkins.

Tribeca Rooftop Wedding : New York, NY
Suhasini & Dean hosted their wedding at Tribeca Rooftop in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY in Spring.
There are a handful of venues in the city that there is truly nothing else like. I can’t think of anything quite like Tribeca Rooftop. To have this much roof space, this much interior space, excellent food, huge dance floor, multiple bars… etc etc.. that’s pretty special. Guests rise from street level up to the roof deck for ceremonies completely encircled by city views. A mediterranean inspired cocktail hour keeps everyone fed and hydrated as the sun slides down towards the horizon. From here, guests descend the staircase into the event space which sits beneath a glass roof and two endless walls of ceiling height windows. I look forward to returning here 3 times this season!
This was another one of those weddings where I just love to catch couples who have made it through all the major formalities of the wedding day and finally get to hang out as normal. I think the last picture of this set is my favorite.

Roundhouse Wedding : Anna & Zach : Beacon, NY
Anna & Zach held their wedding at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY up in the Hudson Valley this past Spring.
Writing this in July, it feels as though I photographed this wedding a few weeks ago. It’s crazy how quickly the year flies by! The Roundhouse was in in top form looking beautiful just as the first signs of Spring were emerging. Anna & Zach adorned the space with bright yellow forsythia which was striking against the rustic, industrial vibe of The Roundhouse.
