The Plaza Hotel & Central Park Elopement

We kicked off the wedding day with Justine & Christopher at the iconic Plaza Hotel in the heart of New York City. This place never disappoints — the interiors are timeless, elegant, and full of character. Justine was putting the final touches on her look when we arrived. Her accessories were sleek and stylish — everything about her bridal vibe felt modern and fashion-forward. Meanwhile, Christopher was already dressed and calmly observing the getting-ready buzz around him, clearly excited for what the day would bring.

Once Justine was ready, the couple stepped out onto the balcony of their room to take in the city and share a quiet moment — complete with a bottle of champagne. We captured these candid minutes between them, with the sounds of NYC in the background and their energy radiating through every frame.

After a few photos outside the beautiful entrance of The Plaza (which always makes for such an iconic backdrop), we all headed across the city to Central Park for their NYC elopement ceremony. Walking through quiet paths and tucked-away architectural corners, we stopped along the way for some portraits that really reflected the couple’s energy and love.

Once we reached the ceremony spot, their close friends joined us. It was an intimate, emotional exchange of vows, right in the heart of the city. After rings and kisses — and a round of applause — we made our way to a waterfront restaurant where the celebration continued over champagne, laughter, and good vibes.

Being their Photographer for this NYC Wedding Elopement was an absolute pleasure — we loved capturing all the natural moments, love, and excitement of this stylish couple on their day in New York.
