We are happy to let you in on the details of Megan and Ed’s beautiful wedding day. The soon-to-be-bride had her make up done by the talented Frederic Fekkai and slipped into her gorgeous wedding gown designed by Carolina Herrera. Meanwhile, the groom looked dashing in his suit by Samuelson Saks off Fifth. With the help of their bridesmaids, groomsmen, family, and friends, Meghan and Ed looked stunning on their magical day.

It was a heartfelt moment when the lovely couple finally spotted each other at the wedding ceremony and with a rush of emotions, the couple happily tied the knot!

The newly wed couple was then joined by their guests at the Mandarin Oriental for a beautiful wedding reception. The couple and guests danced the night away to the majestic music composed by Starlight Orchestra and enjoyed every bite of the Mandarin Oriental’s catering. The scenery of the wedding was especially breathtaking with the gorgeous bouquet of flowers by Konstantinos Floral Design and Decor. The night was incredible and very enjoyable thanks to the hard work and planning done by Andrea Freeman. It was a pleasure to be a part of this lovely event!

NYC Wedding Photographer - Meaghan & Matt's Luxurious Wedding Day at Cipriani Wall Street

We’d like to extent a heartfelt congratulations to Meghan and Matt on their beautiful wedding day! We had a great time photographing this wonderful couple on one of the most important days of their lives. As the bride was getting ready by having her makeup and hair styled by the talented team of Pin It Up Bridal, the groom looked handsome as he wore his dashing suit styled by The Black Lapel. The bride finalized her wedding day look once she put on her gorgeous gown styled by Martina Liana.

After an emotional wedding ceremony, the lovely married couple and their guests came together for a celebration at Ciprianis in the Wall Street area. The floral arrangements truly stood out in the venue thanks to the amazing Ivie Joy. Ciprianis’ catering was fulfilling for the guest’s appetites and they soon got to dance it out to music played by the amazing band The Gold Keys.

Everyone had an incredible time celebrating the newly married couple. The decor, lights, music, and dance floor welcomed everyone to have an unforgettable night. The venue was topnotch due to the delightful planning done by Jose Rolon. Congratulations to Meaghan and Matt once again! It was truly a pleasure photographing them!
