Your New York City Elopement Photographer

The Bethesda Arcade Elopement of Jessica & Edgar | A Central Park Wedding

This is the Bethesda Arcade Elopement of Jessica & Edgar. Jessica moved from Brazil to New York only 2 weeks before their wedding day on a K-1 visa. If you have ever see the show “90 Day Fiancé”, this is pretty much the live version of it (however, without all the drama and really nice people.) I met Jessica & Edgar at the Beekman Hotel for some “Getting Ready” photos and a “First Look” at the magnificent atrium of this stunning hotel. After that we made our way to Central Park where Jackie and Jess & Edgar’s family waited for us. Jackie performed a beautiful ceremony right underneath the Bethesda Arcade before we let the newlyweds take their family out for a well deserved wedding lunch. Above all, Jessica & Edgar, thank you so much for letting #TeamReinking be part of your wedding day.

Dies ist das Bethesda Arcade Hochzeit von Jessica & Edgar. Jessica zog nur 2 Wochen vor ihrem Hochzeitstag mit einem K-1-Visum von Brasilien nach New York. Wenn ihr mal die Show “90 Day Fiancé” gesehen habt, das ist so ziemlich die Live-Version davon (nur ohne all das Drama und wirklich nette Leute.) Ich habe Jessica & Edgar im Beekman Hotel für ein paar „Getting Ready“-Fotos und den “First Look” getroffen. Einfach fantastisch dieses prächtige Atrium in dieses atemberaubenden Hotel. Danach machten wir uns auf den Weg zum Central Park, wo die Familie von Jess & Edgar auf uns wartete. Jackie führte eine wunderschöne Zeremonie direkt unter der Bethesda Arcade durch, bevor die frisch Vermählten ihre Familie zu einem wohlverdienten Hochzeitsessen ausführen ließen. Jessica & Edgar, vielen Dank, dass ihr #TeamReinking an eurem Hochzeitstag teilhaben lassen habt.

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. 😂
