NY City Hall Wedding Photography
City Hall wedding photography NYC elopement. So, these two Israeli grooms eloped to the Manhattan Marriage Bureau. Their event was shot by me in DSLR using mostly available light in the wedding chapel and at Bouley restaurant, where the grooms held their wedding reception. In all, there were five of us. But the petite size of the wedding party didn’t lessen the celebratory feeling in the room. It was a perfect summer day and the light was beautiful, so we didn’t want to ruin it.
These two grooms kept it casual, wearing simple collared shirts and ties without jackets. One of the grooms has family in the area so his brother and sister-in-law joined us. Then we all went to Bouley for a lunch that was nothing short of fine art. Thank you Ran and Lior for letting me be your NYC city hall wedding photographer. You make us look good and we love you for it.
