A moody April day in New York set the perfect tone for Amanda & Vincent’s romantic spring elopement. The sky was overcast, the city wrapped in a soft gray mist — but far from dull, this only added depth and atmosphere to their day. We started our journey together at South Street Seaport, a charming waterfront district with cobblestone streets and views of the skyline. The city’s cool tones created a cinematic backdrop for their portraits — filled with anticipation, quiet joy, and that unique New York energy.
As we moved through the day, Amanda & Vincent stopped into a stylish downtown bar — a little escape from the breeze where they shared a round of cocktails and took a breath before the ceremony. These candid, intimate moments are what we love most about photographing elopements — real, unscripted, and full of warmth.
We then headed into Central Park, where the first signs of spring were starting to bloom. Delicate blossoms softened the stone paths and bare branches, adding subtle pops of color to the misty surroundings. Amanda looked stunning in her effortlessly elegant look — modern yet timeless — and we captured some beautiful detail shots before arriving at their ceremony location.
At Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, friends and family gathered quietly, their faces lighting up as Amanda & Vincent arrived. The ceremony felt intimate and deeply personal — set against one of the most iconic backdrops in New York City. After heartfelt vows and a joyful kiss, someone popped a bottle of champagne, and the celebration officially began.
We wrapped up the evening at 21 West End Apartments, where a cozy reception with close friends followed. The energy was warm, relaxed, and full of love — the perfect end to a truly special day. Amanda & Vincent’s wedding was a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most meaningful moments happen when you let go of the sun and embrace the mood of the city.
