The New York Micro Wedding of Janine & Sammer | A NYC Summer Elopement

This is the New York Micro Wedding of Janine & Sammer. And because these two are New Yorkers they wanted to do the things they usually do when roaming around the city. So we started at the Union Square Farmer’s Market to check out the local produce. And of course we had to stop for a New York Bagel at ‘Gramercy Bagels’. On our way to Janine & Sammer’s apartment we stopped by Madison Square Park where we found a tree art installation for some photos. We ended our time together – in 100 degrees weather – in front of an air conditioner in their apartment. Janine & Sammer, thank you for being such troopers in this crazy weather. I had so much fun with you guys!!

Dies ist die New York ‘Mini Hochzeit’ von Janine & Sammer. Und weil diese beiden New Yorker sind, wollten sie die Dinge machen, die sie normalerweise tun, wenn sie durch die Stadt laufen. Also begannen wir auf dem Union Square Farmer’s Market, um die lokalen Produkte zu probieren. Und natürlich mussten wir bei ‘Gramercy Bagels’ auf einen New Yorker Bagel einkehren. Auf unserem Weg zu Janine & Sammer’s Wohnung hielten wir am Madison Square Park, wo wir eine Baumkunstinstallation für ein paar Fotos fanden. Wir beendeten unsere gemeinsame Zeit – bei 100 Grad Wetter – vor einer Klimaanlage in ihrer Wohnung. Janine & Sammer, danke, dass ihr bei diesem verrückten Wetter so toll mitgezogen habt. Ich hatte unheimlich viel Spaß mit euch!!

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. 😂
