Married with a hand shake!
Love is not always about grand gestures and extravagant events. Sometimes it is about the simple moments shared between two people. This was the case for Diem and Jay, who decided to tie the knot at the City Clerk in Manhattan, NY, rather than through a massive event.
With only eight guests in attendance, the couple decided to keep things low-key and intimate. They arrived at the City Clerk’s early in the morning. As a fun side story, they got the number 002 for their ceremony. Meaning they were the second couple that got married that cold December morning.
Jay was dressed in a simple suit, and the Diem also opted for a beautiful white suit from ASOS. The ceremony was brief, as all City Hall weddings. However, they sealed their union by shaking hands, an unexpected but funny moment, one of those that made their ceremony uniquely theirs.
After the ceremony, the couple and their guests headed outside to celebrate, lighting up sparkles.
After that, the couple headed to the Golden Dinner, a cozy dinner, for brunch. They enjoyed delicious burritos while chatting and laughing about the ceremony. It was a beautiful moment, the Dinner for themselves, their favorite food, and their special moment to enjoy and remember – alone, soaking in those minutes. Because sometimes that’s all you need.
The couple later went on to their respective jobs, but they carried the memory of their wedding day with them throughout the day.
In conclusion, this wedding at the City Clerk in Manhattan, NY, showed that love can be celebrated simply yet beautifully. The couple and their guests enjoyed the union together, and then the couple enjoyed a lovely brunch together.
This day will always be remembered as a special moment in their lives, filled with love, laughter, and joy.
Congrats again D+J!
I feel photography it's been in my life before I was even conscious of it.
One of my clearest childhood memories was watching my mom set up her film camera and give it to my dad so she could have some nice photos with us.
I remember being surrounded by cameras and film rolls, and I can say now that I'm one of the luckiest persons to have many photographs of my childhood before cell phones with cameras were a thing.
Now that I'm a gown up, I appreciate the beautiful work my mother did to document my life, how precious those memories are, those moments that won't be back, but they'll live forever on her albums and polaroids.
I have spent the last seven years getting to know new humans and documenting their stories and relationships. How they got into that point of their life, and what makes them light up. I feel it is quite a responsibility and a significant honor to be able to create this legacy for them.
