The New York elopement of Anne & Grant | Heiraten in New York City

English:
The New York elopement of Anne & Grant. What an amazing day it was. Cold…but amazing! These two made their way from Canada to the ‘Big Apple’ to get hitched in style. Anne impressed in her vintage wedding dress and Grant looked dapper in his blue suite. Jackie officiated the ceremony at their suite at the Eventi Hotel in Chelsea and off we went to take their wedding photos around town. We started the day in Central Park which, due to the cold, was really empty that day and that was just what we were looking for. We walked past the Gapstow Bridge, took photos in front of the skyline, walked through the The Mall and Literary Walk and ended up at Bethesda Terrace. It was glorious…but cold (Did I mention it was also COLD?!). So for the next stop we decided on an indoor location so we could warm up. We made our way to Grand Central  Terminal and after 15 minutes we were able to feel our faces again. We ended with some beautiful portraits of the newlyweds at this magnificent train station before Anne & Grant made their way to a well deserved meal. Anne & Grant, I know I don’t have to say it but I say it anyways: I love you guys! You are the good ones. You are genuine with a big heart. You are always welcome in our house.

German:
Die New York Hochzeit von Anne & Grant. Was für ein fantastischer Tag das war. Kalt…aber fantastisch. Die Zwei kamen aus Kanada um im ‘Big Apple’ stilvoll zu heiraten. Anne beeindruckte in ihrem klassischen Hochzeitskleid und Grant sah elegant aus in seinem blauen Anzug. Jackie führte die Zeremonie in ihrem Zimmer im Eventi Hotel durch und danach gingen wir los um Hochzeitsfotos in der Stadt zu fotografieren. Wir starteten den Tag im Central Park der, wegen der Kälte, recht leer war. Wir spazierten von der Gapstow Bridge durch ‘The Mall and Literary Walk’ Richtung Bethesda Fountain. Es war unglaublich…aber kalt (hatte ich schon erwähnt das es kalt war?!). Daher suchten wir uns für die nächste Station etwas wärmeres aus. We fuhren zum Grand Central Terminal und nach 15 Minuten konnten wir sogar unsere Gesichter wieder fühlen. Wir schlossen den Tag ab mit wunderschönen Fotos in diesem fantastischen Bahnhof bevor Anne & Grand zum einem sehr verdienten Abendessen verschwanden. Anne & Grant, ich weiss ich muss das nicht extra betonen aber ich tue es trotzdem: Ich liebe euch! Ihr seid klasse. Ihr seid aufrichtig und habt grosse Herzen. Ihr seid immer in unserem Hause willkommen.

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. 😂
