An Intimate New York City Wedding Full of Love and Personality
Nancy and Nick had the most lovely and intimate wedding in New York City - it was definitely one for the books. These two are the epitome of a modern, cool, and kind couple. They are people who truly care about their friends, family, the animals (they are vegan!), and the Earth. They share a love for these things, plus indie music and birdwatching, which brought a unique charm to their wedding day, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Their special day perfectly reflected their personalities and passions, making it a truly one-of-a-kind celebration. This moment set the tone for their wedding day, showcasing their love for both each other and the natural world.
Intimate New York City Wedding
Nancy and Nick chose to hold their intimate wedding ceremony at the 6BC Botanical Garden in the Lower East Side in New York City. Surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers, the garden provided a serene and otherworldly backdrop for their portraits and vows. With only their closest family and friends present, the ceremony was heartfelt and personal, reflecting their deep bonds with their loved ones.
As a photographer, it means so much to me when a couple incorporates all their shared interests and values into their wedding day. From the music playlist, vegan cuisine, ceremony location, and afterparty, I had a clear sense about who Nick and Nancy are and we were able to bring their story to life through their photos.
Nick looked dashing in a velvet green suit with a special custom monogram on the inside that read "Nick and Nancy." This personal touch added a layer of uniqueness to his ensemble. Nancy was stunning in a gorgeous dress and veil adorned with intricate floral embroidery. The most touching detail of her attire were the long bows on her shoulders, crafted from fabric from her grandmother’s wedding dress. This meaningful addition honored her family heritage and added a special touch to her bridal look.

The botanical garden provided the perfect setting for their wedding portraits. We captured stunning images among the lush foliage and colorful blooms, creating photos that looked straight out of a fairytale. Each shot highlighted the couple's love and the enchanting beauty of their surroundings, making for truly memorable keepsakes. If you saw Nancy and Nick’s engagement shoot, you’ll know that they prioritize documentary style photography, and this is exactly what we went for on their wedding day.
Wedding reception at LadyBird
Nancy and Nick held their reception at LadyBird, their favorite restaurant. Known for its delicious vegan cuisine and cozy atmosphere, LadyBird was the perfect venue for their celebration. The intimate setting allowed for meaningful interactions with their guests, and the vegan menu and delicious cocktails were a hit with everyone. The ambiance was warm, with laughter and love, mirroring the couple's kind and welcoming nature. Nancy’s father gave a heartfelt toast and the couple had their first dance in front of their guests.
afterparty at Barcade
After the reception, the celebration continued at Barcade, a beloved late-night spot for Nancy and Nick. Known for its vintage arcade games and great drinks, Barcade offered a fun and relaxed atmosphere for the after party. Guests enjoyed playing games, sipping cocktails, and celebrating the newlyweds in a lively, laid-back environment. It was the perfect way to end a day filled with joy and love.
