Isabella and Andrew’s wedding day was simple in the best way — relaxed, intentional, and centered on what mattered most. While it was technically an elopement, it felt more like a micro-wedding: a quiet, beautiful gathering with their closest people before their larger celebration in Spain later this year.


We started at the Roxy Hotel in Tribeca, stopping by their favorite photo booth before walking through the city for portraits. No rush — just time to take it all in. They were present with each other, laughing, soaking in the moments as they came.


Their City Hall ceremony was emotional and sweet, followed by an intimate dinner at King in SoHo with a small group of family and friends. Maybe a dozen guests total — but the joy in the room felt bigger than that.


I love photographing couples like Isabella and Andrew — people who care deeply, choose simplicity with purpose, and bring their full selves to the day. It was an honor to document this New York City elopement, especially knowing it’s just the beginning of their wedding story. Next stop: Spain.

 

"Thank you so much for everything! You guys were awesome!"

"OMG OBSESSED!!! Thank you thank you! I love them!"
