Your New York City Elopement Photographer

Anya & Alex’s New York City Hall Elopement | Dumbo & Brooklyn Bridge Park Wedding

English:
Not every day do I photograph a Brooklyn Bridge Park wedding that started in a very unique way. Well, this is the story about a boy from England, Alex, who came to New York on vacation and stayed at a hostel in Brooklyn and a girl from Russia, Anya, who also came to New York on vacation and stayed at the same hostel in Brooklyn. And that is where Alex and Anya met for the first time. And that is also where they fell in love. Month later they came back to New York to, no surprise, get married in the city their love story started. And I was so fortunate that they asked me to document this special day for them. I met Alex and Anya at the City Clerk’s Office. After the ceremony we walked the streets of downtown Manhattan before we made our way across the Brooklyn Bridge for a couple wedding photos in Dumbo. It was a picture perfect day and the photos show how much these guys are in love. Alex & Anya, thank you for making me part of your story.

Es kommt nicht jeden Tag vor dass ich eine Brooklyn Bridge Park Hochzeit fotografiere die auf einem so besonderen Weg anfing. Dies ist die Geschichte von einem jungen Mann aus England, Alex, der nach New York kam und in einem Hostel in Brooklyn abstieg und einer jungen Dame, Anya, die aus Russland nach New York kam und in dem selben Hostel in Brooklyn abstieg. Und das ist wo sich Alex und Anya zum ersten Mal trafen. Und das ist auch wo sie sich ineinander verliebten. Ein paar Monate spaeter kamen sie zurück nach New York um in der Stadt in der sie sich kennengelernt hatten zu heiraten. Und ich war sehr glücklich, dass sie mich gefragt haben ihre Geschichte in Fotos festzuhalten. Ich habe Alex und Anya auf dem New Yorker Standesamt getroffen. Anschliessend sind wir ein wenig durch die Strassen von Downtown Manhattan geschlendert bevor wir uns dann über die Brooklyn Bridge nach Dumbo aufgemacht haben. Es war ein fantastischer Tag und man kann in den Fotos sehen wie sehr verliebt die Zwei ineinander sind. Alex & Anya, vielen Dank dass ich nun ein Teil eurer Geschichte bin.

Happy Valentine’s Day my wife, my rock, and the heart of our family. 💕

I still love her 85 times to the moon and back. She’s the calm when things get chaotic, the one who sees the good in every situation, and the glue that holds us all together. Her laugh can brighten any day, and her support is the kind of magic you don’t take for granted.

I love our trips to the Baltic Sea, our Disney adventures, and the simple, everyday moments that make life with her so special. She’s my business partner, the love of my life, and my best friend - and I’m endlessly grateful for her, for us, and for the life we’ve built together.

This October, we’ll celebrate 20 years of marriage, and I swear I love her more with every passing year. ❤️

And, fun fact: our daughter took this photo. The talent clearly runs in the family. 😉📸
