Valerie and Jaime’s Jersey City Waterfront Elopement: A Magical Sunset Wedding

Valerie and Jaime’s Jersey City Waterfront Elopement: A Magical Sunset Wedding

Valerie and Jaime’s Jersey City waterfront elopement was a new one for me. As a New York wedding photographer, most of my work takes place in the bustling city. However, when Valerie and Jaime reached out to me about capturing their elopement in Jersey City, I jumped at the opportunity. The location offered a stunning backdrop with the beautiful skyline of Downtown Manhattan in the distance.

The couple chose to tie the knot at sunset, adding an extra layer of magic to their special day. As the sun began to set, the skyline of New York sparkled in oranges and purples, creating an unforgettable scene.

Valerie looked breathtaking in her short wedding dress, while Jaime was equally charming in his grey suit. Their love was evident in every photo, making the shoot even more special. We strolled along the waterfront, capturing intimate moments between the newlyweds against the backdrop of the city.

As a wedding photographer, it was refreshing to step outside of my usual New York City locations and capture the beauty of Jersey City. The scenery made for some breathtaking photos and it was a nice change of pace.

In the end, Valerie and Jaime’s Jersey City waterfront elopement was a truly magical experience. From the stunning views to the love between the couple, everything came together to create a memorable day that will be cherished for years to come.

Valerie und Jaimes Elopement am Wasser in Jersey City war für mich etwas ganz Neues. Als ein New York Hochzeitsfotograf findet die Mehrheit meiner Arbeit in der belebten Stadt statt. Doch als Valerie und Jaime mich baten, ihre Hochzeit in Jersey City festzuhalten, ergriff ich die Gelegenheit. Die Location bot eine atemberaubende Kulisse mit der wunderschönen Skyline von Downtown Manhattan in der Ferne.

Das Paar entschied sich, bei Sonnenuntergang den Bund fürs Leben zu schließen. Als die Sonne unterging, funkelte die Skyline von New York in Orange- und Lilatönen und schuf eine unvergessliche Szenerie.

Valerie sah in ihrem kurzen Hochzeitskleid umwerfend aus, während Jaime in seinem grauen Anzug gleichermaßen charmant aussah. Ihre Liebe war in jedem Foto spürbar. Wir spazierten entlang des Wassers und hielten intime Momente zwischen den frisch Vermählten vor der Kulisse der Stadt fest.

Als Hochzeitsfotograf war es erfrischend, aus meinen üblichen Locations in New York City auszubrechen und die Schönheit von Jersey City einzufangen. Die Landschaft bot atemberaubende Fotomotive und war eine willkommene Abwechslung.

Valerie und Jaimes Elopement am Wasser in Jersey City war letztendlich eine wirklich magische Erfahrung. Von den atemberaubenden Ausblicken bis zur Liebe des Paares, alles kam zusammen und schuf einen unvergesslichen Tag, der noch viele Jahre lang in Erinnerung bleiben wird.

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. 😂
