Hello and welcome! Today I am thrilled to share a sneak peek from a recent elopement at The William Vale in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A couple of weeks ago, we traveled to NYC to capture the beautiful connection between Marina and Mateus. As a Boston wedding photographer with extensive international experience, I am always ready for a destination wedding, and the drive from Massachusetts to New York City is always worth it for a story like this.
The story of Marina and Mateus began at the ZenaRose Fashion Show in Boston, where I was working as the photographer. Their wedding planner, Mandy, who organized that show, has already shared some wonderful insights about this event on her own blog. It was a pleasure to reunite with this team for such an intimate celebration.
The elopement day was cloudy, but the overcast sky provided a perfect, soft light that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. We spent five hours together, documenting every meaningful moment. My wife, Vera Gordias, provided professional hair and makeup services for the bride in the morning while I captured candid shots of the preparation. After the officiant arrived, the couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony, and we later explored the surrounding Williamsburg streets to capture romantic, urban portraits.
Check out the highlights from their day:
I highly recommend checking out The William Vale Hotel if you are considering an NYC elopement or wedding. Whether you are planning your day in New York City or a destination wedding elsewhere in the US, I am always happy to travel to capture your story.
