Playful Brooklyn Wedding at River Cafe

December 30, 2024

Brooklyn weddings at River Cafe are a perfect balance of city feels with garden vibes. River Cafe is ideal for more intimate weddings, and the food is absolutely out of this world (seriously, so many delicious courses!) Ariel & Jacob got ready at One Hotel in Brooklyn before doing a first look outside the hotel and making their way to River Cafe. We stopped for some photo pit stops along the way to the venue. These two wear their hearts right on their sleeves and were so emotional when seeing each other for the first time. It’s touching to witness their love. Their emotional sides are balanced by their fun loving nature. Their wedding was on May 4th aka Star Wars Day (and the bride’s birthday!) Their dance party leaned into that theme-hence the epic dance floor light saber battle! Take a look at home of the highlights from their day below. Photos were shot on a mix of medium format film, 35mm film, and digital.

The in-between, storytelling images that give the big picture of your wedding day are so important to me in my mission to create images that appreciate with time. I love getting to know my couples and their intricate relationships as well as writing my highlights from their unique day to supplement their photos. Here are some of the weddings I've been lucky enough to document as well as some words about what made their day so memorable for me.
