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. Just like it did for Louise and Jay, who traveled from Scotland to New York City to elope. As a New York wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing their special day and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience.

Louise and Jay wanted a unique and intimate wedding. Something that would be different from the traditional Scottish wedding. They chose to elope in New York City, a place that had always been on their bucket list. And they couldn’t have picked a better spot than the East River Esplanade for their nuptials.

As a photographer, I’m always on the lookout for new and exciting locations to capture stunning wedding photos. And I must say, Pier 15 was a hidden gem that I had never shot before. The stunning backdrop of the majestic Brooklyn Bridge in the distance made for a breathtaking view. And the location was perfect for the intimate wedding ceremony that Louise and Jay had in mind.

Jackie performed a beautiful ceremony that was filled with love and emotion. As Louise and Jay exchanged their vows, the city skyline and the East River provided the perfect backdrop, making it an incredibly romantic setting.

Pier 15 is a hidden gem that offers breathtaking views of the city skyline.

After the ceremony, we took a walk through the south part of Manhattan. We captured beautiful moments against the backdrop of the brand new Oculus and unique wall murals. It was a delightful experience as we explored the city’s vibrant streets, capturing the love and happiness that surrounded the newlyweds.

As a New York wedding photographer, I’ve captured many beautiful moments, but Louise and Jay’s elopement at Pier 15 is one that will always hold a special place in my heart. It was an honor to be part of their intimate wedding day and capture memories that they will cherish for a lifetime.

If you’re looking for a unique and intimate wedding location in NYC, the East River Esplanade at Pier 15 is definitely worth considering. It’s a hidden gem that offers a breathtaking view of the city skyline. It is perfect for an intimate wedding ceremony. And if you’re looking for a New York wedding photographer to capture your special day, I’d be honored to be a part of it.

Louise und Jay kamen aus Schottland nach New York City, um hier zu heiraten. Als Hochzeitsfotograf hatte ich das Vergnügen, ihren besonderen Tag festzuhalten, und ich muss sagen, es war eine unvergessliche Erfahrung.

Louise und Jay wollten eine einzigartige und intime Hochzeit, etwas, das sich von der traditionellen schottischen Hochzeit unterscheidet. Sie entschieden sich dafür, in New York City zu heiraten, einem Ort, der schon immer auf ihrer Bucket-Liste stand, und sie hätten keinen besseren Ort als die East River Esplanade für ihre Hochzeit wählen können.

Als Fotograf bin ich immer auf der Suche nach neuen und aufregenden Orten, um atemberaubende Hochzeitsfotos zu machen. Und ich muss sagen, dass Pier 15 ein verborgener Schatz war, den ich noch nie zuvor fotografiert hatte. Die atemberaubende Kulisse der majestätischen Brooklyn Bridge in der Ferne sorgte für eine atemberaubende Aussicht, und der Ort war perfekt für die intime Hochzeitszeremonie, die Louise und Jay im Sinn hatten.

Jackie hielt eine wunderschöne Zeremonie ab, die voller Liebe und Emotionen war. Während Louise und Jay ihre Gelübde austauschten, bot die Skyline der Stadt und der East River die perfekte Kulisse und schufen eine unglaublich romantische Atmosphäre. Nach der Zeremonie machten wir einen Spaziergang durch den südlichen Teil von Manhattan und fingen wunderschöne Momente vor der Kulisse des brandneuen Oculus und einzigartigen

Als Hochzeitsfotograf habe ich viele wunderschöne Momente festgehalten, aber die Hochzeit von Louise und Jay wird immer einen besonderen Platz in meinem Herzen haben. Es war eine Ehre, Teil ihres intimen Hochzeitstages zu sein und Erinnerungen festzuhalten, die sie ihr Leben lang schätzen werden.

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. 😉📸
