A Dreamy Cherry Blossom Elopement in Central Park | Donna & Jamie’s NYC Wedding

A Dreamy Cherry Blossom Elopement in Central Park | Donna & Jamie’s NYC Wedding

Springtime in New York City is nothing short of magical, and when the cherry blossoms bloom, Central Park transforms into an enchanting wonderland – making it the perfect backdrop for Donna & Jamie’s intimate elopement. Hailing from Northern Ireland, this sweet couple dreamed of an stress-free, romantic wedding experience in the heart of NYC. With our all-inclusive elopement package, we took care of every detail, allowing them to soak in the moment while we handled the logistics.

Why Central Park in April?

April is one of the best times to elope in Central Park. The famous cherry blossoms are in full bloom, creating a picture-perfect setting for a romantic wedding ceremony. Donna & Jamie exchanged heartfelt vows beneath a canopy of delicate pink petals, surrounded by the beauty of nature in one of the world’s most iconic parks.

And let’s talk about Jamie’s style – he looked like he had just stepped out of an episode of Peaky Blinders in his impeccably tailored suit from Freddie Hatchet. Paired with his sharp accessories and old-school charm, he was channeling serious Thomas Shelby vibes, and it couldn’t have been more fitting for the timeless NYC backdrop.

A Stress-Free NYC Elopement Experience

Planning a destination elopement from another country can be overwhelming, but Donna & Jamie wanted to be completely hands-off and let us handle everything. That’s why they booked our all-inclusive New York City elopement package – which includes:

  • Legal paperwork assistance
  • Professional photography
  • Wedding officiant & personalized ceremony
  • Bridal hair & makeup
  • Stunning florals
  • Transportation
  • And 20+ other details that make the day effortless!

This meant that from the moment they arrived in NYC, all they had to do was relax and enjoy their special day.

From Cherry Blossoms to City Lights – A Picture-Perfect Wedding Day

After their intimate Central Park elopement, we captured breathtaking wedding photos under the cherry blossoms before heading to some of New York City’s most iconic locations:

Grand Central Terminal – A timeless NYC landmark, perfect for cinematic wedding portraits.
New York City Streets – Candid moments with the hustle and bustle of Manhattan as the backdrop.
Gantry Plaza State Park – The final stop of the day, offering stunning skyline views of Manhattan from Long Island City. As the sun set, the city lights created a dazzling backdrop for their last set of wedding portraits.

Thinking About Eloping in New York City?

If you’re dreaming of an intimate and stress-free Central Park elopement or a stylish NYC wedding, we’re here to make it happen! With our all-inclusive elopement packages, you can focus on the moment while we handle the details.

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. 😂
