Ready for an adventure?

You want to marry your best friend in New York City, but you are not sure how all this works. All you want is to enjoy the day, have a stress-free adventure and have your wedding day captured in a unique and genuine way. The city may be new, but the experience should feel all you.
Marrying your best friend isn’t about the size of your venue or how many invites you mail. It’s about making memories that become stories you share for generations. It’s whatever you want to make it.
You found me because you imagine your wedding day to be simply about the two of you. And in this amazing, loud, fast, romantic, crazy city, you want your New York City elopement to be an exciting and authentic adventure. Count me in.
This is what I’m all about. Because after you eat the best food New York City has to offer. After you dance down the streets and light up landmarks with your love. Once your stunning wedding outfits are hanging back in the closet – your wedding day will still be with you. The magic lives on in the memories you make and the images I capture for you.
Let’s plan your adventure
Your wedding day will be unique, stress-free, exciting, and genuine. And there will be laughing. Lots and lot of laughing. I will be by your side from start to finish. My job is to not only capture the memories you create that day, but I also will be with you from the day you first get in touch to the moment you hold your marriage certificate in your hands (and anything in between).
Whatever you need, I got you.

"Sascha captured the two of us and our moment in such a special way - we can feel the love in the images and are immediately taken back."

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.

Team Reinking just made WEDDING HISTORY!! 🎉
Imagine saying your vows with Manhattan at your feet. Now imagine being the very first couple in history to do it on the SKYLIFT at Top of the Rock. That just happened.
We’ve done hundreds of weddings at Top of the Rock…but this one was the first ever on the Skylift. Ever! No one else will ever be able to say that again. 🗽💍
Congratulations to Maja & Wolfgang who made history with us!!

In a city that never stops moving, Sabrina & Alex found their moment. Proof that love can make even the busiest place in the world feel like it’s standing still.

Deniz & Kamil stepped out in style and made New York their stage. The ‘Big Apple’ had no choice but to stop and stare at these newlyweds.

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. 😂
Sarah and Felix flew in from Germany, eloped in Central Park, and timed it perfectly with peak cherry blossoms. We started at the Ladies Pavilion with Jackie doing her thing, then wandered through the park like it was all theirs. Bethesda Terrace gave us drama, flowers gave us softness, and New York did what New York does best. Pure elopement gold.
