Rachel + Ryan | New York City

March 2, 2011

Today’s featured wedding is a perfect example of how you can have great style and grace, yet still have a super fun wedding party. Rachel and Ryan had one of the sweetest weddings in the cold of December in New York City. Their spirit was truly carefree and enjoying the day was at the forefront of their plans (as it should be).
We made some group photographs in the iconic Madison Square Park and then a few with the Flatiron Building in the background as well. The wedding ceremony and reception were both held at the chic Studio 450 in Chelsea. It is a loft style venue with a great layout to really be creative. The views of the Hudson River and the cityscape are unparalleled. The simplicity of Rachel’s design was due in large part to her awesome wedding planner/designer, Elisabeth Events. It was such a pleasure working with Lisa and her team, they did such an extraordinary job pulling off the modern, romantic look and feel that the couple wanted.
Again, it was so inspiring to be in New York City again photographing. I simply love, love, love it there and it always seems to pull the creativity out of me as a photographer. Congratulations to Rachel and Ryan! Speaking of New York, it looks like I’ll be there a handful of times this year and would love to hook up for an engagement session or even another wedding commission.
