Vintage Destination Wedding at Bryant Park Grill + The NYPL

Sheraden & Alessio traveled all the way from Canada to have their dream destination wedding NYC! Sheraden is an absolute cool girl and had the most unique aesthetic for her wedding day. With the perfect backdrop of the NYPL and Bryant Park, their wedding was one I’ll never forget. As a NYC wedding photographer, the NYPL is definitely always going to be a favorite photo location.

While Sheraden has her own incredibly unique personality and taste, she chose to start the day wearing her late sisters wedding dress, to honor her and keep her close on her special day. It was the sweetest touch, that her close family also appreciated. She later changed into a second dress to fully showcase her individuality.

Flanking the entrance are the iconic lion statues, symbolizing strength and wisdom, which have become emblematic of the library itself.

I love to capture outfit detail shots with flash, so of course we had to do that to show off Sheraden’s gorgeous pink heels!

We captured stunning flash portraits in the streets and inside the bar, as well as showcased the beautiful candle lit reception room before it filled with guests.
