Central Park & NYC Public Library Elopement

Capturing the intimate NYC elopement of Ashley and Jhovanny was an unforgettable experience that perfectly embodied love, elegance, and the magic of New York City. We started the day at the iconic JW Marriott Essex House New York, where Ashley was adding the final touches to her bridal look. The anticipation in the room was palpable, setting the tone for what would be a beautifully emotional day.

Just steps from the hotel, we ventured into the lush expanse of Central Park, a true urban oasis perfect for an elopement photoshoot. The natural backdrop highlighted the couple’s connection, and we captured candid moments full of love and joy as they strolled through the park’s winding paths. Every frame showcased the tender glances and playful smiles of Ashley and Jhovanny. We paused at a scenic overlook that provided a stunning contrast between the park’s greenery and the towering Manhattan skyline—an ideal spot for their intimate ceremony.

With just the two of them, the ceremony felt deeply personal. As they exchanged heartfelt vows and rings, the gentle breeze and soft rustling of leaves made the moment even more special. The serene setting of Central Park, coupled with the couple’s genuine emotion, made for an elopement that was uniquely theirs.

Following the ceremony, we continued to explore more of the city, heading towards the historic New York Public Library. Its grand architecture provided a perfect juxtaposition to the lively nature of Central Park, adding a touch of timeless elegance to their photos. In the quiet corners and dramatic arches of the library, Ashley and Jhovanny shared moments of laughter and reflection, allowing us to capture images that felt both monumental and intimate.

The final chapter of the day brought us back to the JW Marriott Essex House, where the couple relaxed in the chic hotel bar. With glasses of wine in hand, they toasted to their new chapter, sharing smiles that told stories words couldn’t capture. This NYC elopement was a blend of romance, spontaneity, and the undeniable charm of the city that never sleeps. It was a privilege to be the photographer documenting their journey—from heartfelt vows in Central Park to celebratory sips in one of New York’s most iconic hotels.
