Your New York City Elopement Photographer

Ready for an adventure?

New YORK CITY Elopement Photographer Sascha Reinking

WHY YOU FOUND ME

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.

 

Low on stress and big on adventure.

 

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.

 

This moment is all about you, let’s make it happen.

 

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.

 

How am I doing so far?

 

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

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

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).

 

I’m here for the journey, not just the day.

 

  • You need a makeup & hair stylist? I can help with that.
  • Looking for beautiful blooms for your bouquet? I have great contacts.
  • Fancy indulging with a car service, a romantic restaurant, or a roof deck bar for cocktails after the ceremony? I'm your guy!
  • You have questions about the wedding process here in NYC? I will share my TIPS & TRICKS with you about applying for permits and receiving your marriage license.

 

Whatever you need, I got you.

The Pier 15 Elopement of Louise & Jay | An East River Esplanade Wedding The Pier 15 Elopement of Louise & Jay. Love knows no boundaries and sometimes it takes you to new and exciting places.

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. 😉📸
