Emma and Robert's NYC elopement was a dreamy adventure that took them from the bustling heart of Times Square to the iconic heights of Top of the Rock and the serene beauty of Central Park. Traveling all the way from the UK, Emma and Robert embraced the magic of New York City for their intimate wedding day, making unforgettable memories along the way.
Their day began with preparations at the M Social Hotel in Times Square. I met Emma and Robert on the hotel’s terrace, which offers an incredible view of the bright lights, buzzing traffic, and famous billboards of Times Square. Emma looked stunning in her princess-cut wedding dress, and Robert was sharp in his classic black suit and tie. We captured some beautiful portraits on the terrace, with the city skyline and the vibrant energy of Times Square serving as a dynamic backdrop.
From the terrace, we ventured down to the streets of Times Square, taking more portraits that highlighted the couple’s joy against the lively cityscape. The iconic yellow cabs, neon lights, and bustling crowds perfectly encapsulated the essence of New York City, making for vibrant, energetic photos that truly stood out.
Our next stop was Top of the Rock, where Emma and Robert’s elegance shone against panoramic views of the city. The dramatic skyline and sweeping vistas provided a stunning backdrop for their couple's portraits, showcasing the best of New York’s landmarks. Emma’s gown flowed beautifully in the wind, and the joy on both their faces was undeniable as they took in the breathtaking views from above.
From the heights of Top of the Rock, we made our way to Central Park, where the couple exchanged their heartfelt vows at Ladies Pavilion. The quiet, picturesque setting was the perfect spot for their intimate ceremony, offering a peaceful escape from the city's hustle. After their vows, we headed to Bethesda Terrace, utilizing its iconic arches, intricate stonework, and the grandeur of the area to capture more stunning photos. The mix of classic New York architecture and natural beauty made for the perfect ending to their elopement session.
As we wrapped up at Bethesda Terrace, Emma and Robert were off to continue their celebration, soaking in the romance and excitement of their special day in New York City. Capturing their elopement was a beautiful experience, and their journey from the UK to the city that never sleeps was nothing short of spectacular.
