New York Central Park Elopement

Lauren & Nicholas’s NYC elopement was an unforgettable journey through some of the city’s most iconic spots. We started the day with an emotional First Look outside the American Museum of Natural History. Nicholas was waiting for his bride, and as Lauren approached, you could feel the excitement in the air. They were so overjoyed to see each other, and that happiness set the tone for the day. We took some lively photos right there, capturing all the smiles and laughter as they soaked up the city’s energy.

After our museum stop, we made our way to Central Park for their ceremony. It was an intimate moment by the lake, with the city skyline in the background and the park’s lush greenery surrounding them. The sun was shining, casting the perfect glow over everything. The scene was simply magical and truly reflected their love story. The ceremony itself was quiet and beautiful, with just the sounds of nature around us—ideal for a personal, heartfelt elopement.

From there, we strolled deeper into Central Park, stopping at Bethesda Terrace, one of NYC’s most iconic spots. This place is always a must for an NYC elopement photoshoot! We captured some classic shots beneath the arches, with the park bustling around us. Afterward, we made our way out of the park and onto the vibrant streets near the Music Hall. Here, we snagged a few street-style photos to capture that lively, urban vibe—truly the best mix of NYC elegance and city energy.

The day wrapped up perfectly at the Hard Rock Hotel, where Lauren & Nicholas enjoyed a celebratory drink on the terrace with a breathtaking view of the New York City skyline. There’s something special about ending an elopement high above the city, surrounded by the lights and energy of NYC. It was a perfect end to an unforgettable day, celebrating love in one of the world’s most incredible cities. Capturing this NYC elopement was an absolute joy, and I couldn’t be happier for these two as they start this new chapter together.
