We met Rita and Fitz on a bright day in front of New York City Hall, ready to capture their intimate and stylish wedding. From the very first moment, it was clear — this couple had something special. Effortlessly elegant and full of joy, they looked absolutely perfect in their wedding outfits. Their first look happened right in the City Hall courtyard, surrounded by marble buildings that reflected the morning light beautifully. Their laughter and excitement filled the space, setting the tone for the day.
Soon it was time for the ceremony. Inside NYC City Hall, everything felt calm and intimate. Only their beloved mothers were present, making the moment even more meaningful. The vows were heartfelt, the exchange of rings emotional, and when it was all done, the two stepped outside as husband and wife — greeted by applause and cheers from friends waiting just beyond the doors.
After the ceremony, we walked through the streets of downtown Manhattan, capturing portraits among the white marble facades and grand architecture. Rita and Fitz were glowing, sharing smiles and moments that told their story without words. Each corner of the city added its own charm — timeless, cinematic, and full of life.
From there, we made our way across town to The Ritz, where the celebration continued. Their closest friends were already there, chatting over cocktails and waiting to welcome the newlyweds. As Rita and Fitz entered, the room filled with joy and applause — a moment of pure happiness. The couple took a few minutes to relax at the bar, enjoying a quiet drink together while we photographed them surrounded by laughter and light.
The evening unfolded in a warm, easy rhythm — hugs, toasts, and genuine celebration. It was a day that perfectly reflected who they are: stylish, kind, and deeply connected.
Being part of Rita and Fitz’s NYC elopement and documenting the beginning of their story — from City Hall to The Ritz — was a true pleasure. Days like these remind us why we love capturing love in this incredible city.
