Our NYC Elopement- The Wedding Vendors!

Jeffrey and I enlisted the help and trust of 3 extraordinary partners to help us pull off the event of a lifetime.

By now, you have undoubtedly noticed the captivating images which have not only defined the hundreds of small moments and emotion but, most importantly, these images tell our story so honestly and wholly. Nathan served not only as a photographer, but as videographer on our day and Jensey helped me make last-minute fashion choices! Nathan also served as our witness on our marriage license, and we feel as if they were married into our family on that day ...

Jeffrey and I actually met our wonderfully personal officiant, Sarah Ritchie last year while we were working a wedding in NYC during an unprecedented blizzard. I fell in love with her ceremony style and persona in that experience, and was overjoyed to be able to call upon her again personally. She infused so many personal details about us as a couple, but also integrated family, friends and my daughters. We left feeling so connected to her, and remain in close touch with this beautiful soul to this day.

Our NYC Elopement- The Guest List!

One elopes to have a private, intimate wedding ceremony, correct? Well, sometimes...

Jeffrey and I knew that we were planning on getting married in a public place--a very well known public place at that! To a degree, we knew we would have to "share our space," but never could we have quite anticipated a couple hundred onlookers and "love" fans! You could have heard a pin drop, and we were able to listen and be aware and attentive as Sarah Ritchie performed the most beautiful, personal and meaningful wedding ceremony.

Our "guest list's" compliance to share the circle, their silence and reverence throughout our entire wedding ceremony will forever be one of those intangible memories that I will be forever grateful for!

Our NYC Elopement- Wedding Color-Yellow?!?

Our extraordinary and insightful officiant, Sarah Ritchie actually surprised us with the yellow balloons on our wedding day. In fact, as we were making our way towards Central Park, I saw these yellow balloons across the street walking parallel to us and sighed--I loved the look of them so very much. Little did I know at the time that it was Sarah making her way towards the park as well.

Yes, even the color yellow is special to Jeffrey and I, and here's why ...
