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!

The Foundry Wedding - NYC Wedding Photography - Craig Paulson Studio

Sara and Mitch tied the knot with a beautiful wedding this summer at The Foundry and we had a lovely time shooting this joyful and elegant wedding in Long Island City.

A wedding full of classic New York skylines, urban aesthetics, and dancing into the night…what more could one want? Tara Angelopoulos from Dream Makers did a fantastic job planning this event incorporating great traditions such as lighting a handmade unity candle and various dances performed by the bride, groom, and loving families. The bouquets and flowers created by the talented group at Bride and Blossom added the final touch. 

The bride prepared for her big day at the Ravel Hotel and blew their guests away with a dress by BLHDN while the groom wore a handsome suit designed by Kenneth Cole. After the couple spent some time getting ready, they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day, took some stunning portraits and headed back to The Foundry where they exchanged vows and enjoyed the rest of their magical evening. Such a wonderful event that was a pleasure to be a part of!

This past August, it was our pleasure to watch Patricia and Max come together and become husband and wife.

The lovely bride dolled up for her big day at the W Hotel, in midtown Manhattan, excited as ever. Patricia was glowing, with beautiful help from Jason Ascher at Barney's, and Reese Donato. Afterwards, the couple first laid eyes on each other at the Church at St. Vincent Ferrer, where they finally said their "I do's." Patricia's elegant bouquet was handcrafted by those at Lenox Hill Florist.
