Your New York City Elopement Photographer

The 620 Loft and Garden Wedding of Katharina & Ralf | New York Conservatory Garden Hochzeit

English:
The 620 Loft and Garden Wedding of Katharina and Ralf was a dream come true. The sun was out and their wedding day was off to a perfect start when I joined Katharina at the bridal suite of the Park Hyatt. After a couple of portraits at the hotel we were on our way to meet the wedding party and Ralf on top of the Rockefeller Center. ‘620 Loft and Garden’ is one of the most beautiful wedding locations in the city as you have an amazing view of midtown Manhattan and St. Patricks’s Cathedral while standing in the middle of a flower garden. There was no dry eye in the house when Jackie officiated her heartwarming ceremony for the two of them. Lots of hugs and kisses followed. Everyone went back to the hotel for a quick happy hour and some well deserved champagne and cake before Katharina, Ralf and I made our way around the city for their wedding photos. A Rolls Royce picked us up and we started with photos at the Conservatory Garden in Central Park followed by skyline photos from the Gantry Park in Queens. The day ended with the reception at the Park Hyatt. It was an amazing, fun and emotional day. Katharina and Ralf, you guys know how much I love you! I am so grateful that you asked me to spend the day with you. You always will be in my heart.

Katharina und Ralf’s ‘620 Loft and Garden’ Hochzeit war ein Traum. Die Sonne schien und dem Hochzeitstag konnte nichts mehr im Wege stehen. Ich traf Katharina im Park Hyatt Hotel für ein paar Portraits und dann ging es auch schon Richtung Rockefeller Center wo Ralf und die Gäste bereits auf uns warteten. ‘620 Loft and Garden’ ist ein unglaublich toller Trauort hier in New York. Man steht mitten in einem wunderschönen Blumengarten und hat einen fantastischen Ausblick auf Manhattan und die St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Jackie führte eine sehr einfühlende Zeremonie durch die mit so einigen Tränen und vielen Umarmungen endete. Nach der Trauung fuhren wir alle zurück ins Hotel für ein wenig Sekt und Hochzeitstorte. Katharina und Ralf hatten einen Rolls Royce gemietet der uns dann in den Central Park fuhr. Wir fotografierten im ‘Conservatory Garden’ und machten Fotos mit der New York Skyline vom Gantry Park aus. Und dann war es Zeit für die Hochzeitsfeier im Grand Hyatt. Katharina und Ralf, vielen Dank, dass ich euch an diesem besonderen Tag begleiten durfte. Ihr seid ein ganz tolles Paar und ich freue mich euch beim nächsten Besuch wiederzusehen.

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.

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. 😂
