Buckle up, friends. This might be the longest blog post we’ve ever shared, but it is almost impossible not to share all the photos from this magical New York City elopement! Coral + Chris FINALLY traveled across the pond after having to reschedule over and over, but we must say, it was worth the wait. They had a slow, relaxed morning getting ready together and the sweetest first look at the alter. They married on a rooftop with arguably some of the best views in all of New York behind them. After getting officially hitched, we hopped in the car and began our full-day exploration of the city. We basically went everywhere; Soho, Flat Iron, Central Park and about 5 other places. Coral + Chris made the day completely about everything it should be - being together and enjoying every second of it. They got pizza and ate it on someone’s stoop. Played with someone’s dog. They ran around Central Park at sunset. And they even had their first dance on the rooftop while the sun went down behind them and the city lit up. We’ll say it again: it was a magical day. They felt like life-long friends by the end of our 8 hours together and while our feet hurt and we were all exhausted from the festivities, it truly was a day we will treasure forever. So once again, congratulations you two.
Michael + Celena | Cambria, California Wedding
It's going to be really hard fitting in this tiny box all the love that we have for Michael + Celena. You'll notice, Jonathan was actually half groomsman half wedding photographer, so yeah, we love them.
Jonathan and Michael met on a tour and later ended up touring together. Fun fact: Michael was actually the very first friend of Jonathan's that I met. It was also the day I met Jonathan for the first time. We immediately started bonding over coffee and I was like "yeah, this dude is cool." Fast forward over a year, a really fun group chat that we use almost everyday and there we were - on a plane flying to California to be a part of this joyous occasion. I hadn't met Celena until the rehearsal dinner but the boys were right - we were destined to be bffs all along.
I photographed most of this wedding, seeing as Jonathan had groomsman duties and I cried a lot. Like, all day long. God orchestrated this marriage so perfectly and I love that they kept Him the focus of their wedding day. I sobbed during their "first look" which they exchanged letters and prayed together. I cried during their beautiful ceremony + communion. And then I cried again, but tears of laughter when we snuck off to enjoy the most gorgeous sunset I've ever seen.
These two are gems. Truly two of the best people we've ever met and we'll never be able to find the words to express our gratitude for their friendship and hearts. We love you, Michael + Celena.
