A relaxed 10-12 hour experience that prioritizes the experience of the day, meaningful moments, and the best light New York City has to offer.
10:00 AM | Getting Ready
Begin the day slowly at your hotel or apartment.
I’ll photograph details, final touches, candid moments with loved ones, and those quiet moments before everything begins.
11:30 AM | Travel to the Marriage Bureau
12:00 PM | Marriage Bureau Ceremony
Exchange your vows and officially become married at the NYC Marriage Bureau.
I’ll document the experience as it unfolds naturally—from waiting together to celebrating outside afterward.
1:00 PM | Lunch Celebration
Head to a favorite restaurant for a leisurely lunch.
Rather than filling every moment with photography, this portion of the day is designed for you to relax and enjoy being newly married.
I’ll capture a few moments before stepping away to give you privacy.
2:30 PM | Afternoon Adventure
Spend the afternoon doing something that feels like you.
Ideas include:
• Browsing independent bookstores
• Exploring the High Line
• Visiting a favorite museum
• Enjoying a rooftop cocktail
• Relaxing at your hotel
• Wandering neighborhoods together
The goal is to create a wedding day that feels memorable, not rushed.
4:30 PM | Central Park
We’ll meet again as the afternoon light begins to soften.
Explore some of Central Park’s most beautiful locations while avoiding the harshest midday sun.
This is a wonderful time for portraits, candid moments, and simply enjoying the park together.
6:00 PM | West Village Stroll
Continue downtown into the West Village.
We’ll wander quiet streets, discover hidden corners, and photograph the neighborhood as it comes alive for the evening.
7:30 PM | DUMBO & Brooklyn Waterfront
Meet again in Brooklyn just before sunset.
The evening light along the waterfront is some of the most beautiful in the city.
8:30 PM | Dinner
Enjoy an unrushed dinner together.
Whether it’s a neighborhood favorite or a celebratory tasting menu, this is time set aside for the two of you—not for photography.
(Optional) 10:00 PM | Rooftop Toast or Nighttime Adventure
Finish the evening with a rooftop cocktail, champagne toast, late-night dessert, or simply a walk through the city together.
10:30 PM | Final Photographs
A few final portraits beneath the city lights before I leave you to celebrate the rest of the evening on your own.
