The High Line Park Elopement of Veronika & Stefan | New York Elopement Photographer

English:
The High Line Park elopement of Veronika & Stefan was pure magic. It was freezing that morning as Jackie and I approached the High Line Park stairs at 23rd street. The sharp wind blew through our coats as we searched for our newlyweds to be. In a doorway were Veronika and Stefan as they rubbed each other’s shoulders to keep warm as it was 14 degrees Fahrenheit!! These two had found the perfect spot the day before so they led the way and once we arrived the magic began. It felt like we had the High Line Park to ourselves. It was just dreamy! There were lots of red noses all around but Veronika & Stefan kept each other warm. After the ceremony we stayed for a couple more minutes at the High Line before we made out way to the Public Library and then Grand Central Terminal for a couple warmer photos. :) Veronika & Stefan, you guys rocked it! We had so much fun with the two of you.

Officiant: Jackie Reinking

Veronika & Stefan’s Hochzeit auf der High Line war ein Traum. Es war unglaublich kalt an dem Morgen als Jackie und ich die High Line auf der 23sten Strasse betraten. Der kalte Wind pfiff durch unsere Mäntel als wir auf der Suche nach unserem Brautpaar waren. Wir fanden die Zwei in einem Unterschlupf wo sie sich warm hielten da es tatsächlich nur -9C waren!! Die Beiden hatten am Tag zuvor den perfekten Ort ausfindig gemacht und als wir dort ankamen ging es auch schon los. Es schien fast so als hätten wir den High Line Park ganz für uns alleine. Es war fantastisch. Wir hatten zwar alle roten Nasen aber Veronika & Stefan hielten sich gegenseitig warm. Nach der Trauung blieben wir noch für einige Minuten auf der High Line bevor wir dann unseren Weg zur ‘Public Library’ und, für ein paar wärmere Fotos, zur Grand Central machten. :) Veronika & Stefan, ihr wart super! Wir hatten ganz viel Spass mit euch.

Friedensrichter: Jackie Reinking

Okay, I need a FAVOR… a BIG one!!

Next year the World Cup will be held right here in the U.S. 8 games will be played in front of my house at MetLife Stadium.

Here’s the thing: this week only, the lottery opened for World Cup tickets. You can register for free to maybe get the chance to buy tickets. The lottery will close this Friday (October 31). The odds are long…like “hole-in-one in a hurricane” long.

So, dear friends, family...past and future couples, if you are not planning to go to the World Cup, I have one humble request:

👉 Please throw your name into the lottery for me. https://www.fifa.com

It costs nothing to register, and if by some miracle you get selected, I’ll 100% pay for the tickets (no questions asked, no money out of your pocket).

I’ve photographed over 1,200 weddings…I’ve climbed rooftops and bridges, and made small miracles happen…but I’ve never seen a World Cup game in my life. And next year, it’s happening 10 minutes from my house!

So, help a soccer-obsessed photographer live his dream. ⚽️
https://www.fifa.com

Put your name in the hat, and maybe together we can beat the odds! But remember, the lottery will close this Friday (October 31). So no time to waste! 

(DM me if you register and I’ll send good karma and eternal gratitude your way.)

20 years!!
7,305 days.
175,320 hours.
10,519,200 minutes.
And around 631 million seconds of putting up with each other.

Today, exactly 20 years ago, I married my best friend. And I had no idea what the next 20 years would bring.

I love Jackie more today than ever. Which says a lot, because I already liked her quite a bit before. She is my best friend, my business partner, my favorite person to do absolutely nothing with, and somehow the only human alive who can handle my grumpy moods. No really, that alone should win her an award or something. 

When we met, I was still an architect and Jackie was a musical theater actor. Neither of us could have imagined that 20 years later we would be running our own wedding business together, celebrating love for a living, and helping over 1,200 couples create their own love stories. 

We literally spend all our time together. Business, travel, life...and I still wake up every day wanting more of it. That is either true love or early signs of insanity. Probably both.

And to think it all started when I walked down the stairs at Bethesda Terrace and saw her sitting by the fountain…in those ugly pink pants. (Yes, they were that bad. Whole nother story. Ask me about it sometime.)

Twenty years later, we have built this wild, beautiful, unpredictable life together. There have been plot twists, bad haircuts, flight delays, lost luggage, and a whole lot of laughter. And I would not trade a single second of it.

Here is to the next 20 years of chaos, love, and whatever else we get ourselves into. ❤️

If you made it to the end of this post, tell us how we know and met you. Because guess what…you are part of our story too. And we want to hear about it. Thank you for being an integral part of Team Reinking.

Couples always ask me what happens if it rains on their wedding day. And my answer always is: “Then we will have fun in the rain!!”. 🥰

We got paired with these two at our 6:54 AM tee time this morning @gallopinghillgolfcourse and right before we teed off, they mentioned they might stop to snap a quick photo for their pregnancy announcement.

Well, what are the odds they got paired with a photographer? So in between bogeys and lost balls, we knocked out an impromptu mini photo shoot. First time for everything, and golf magic at its finest.

Easily the best scorecard moment of the day. 😂
