A Grand Ceremony at St. Ignatius Loyola Church

The wedding ceremony took place at the magnificent St. Ignatius Loyola Church on Park Avenue, a stunning venue known for its grand architecture and historic significance. The soaring ceilings, intricate stained glass windows, and rich history of the church made it the perfect setting for Kyle and Nick’s vows.

As the couple exchanged their vows, surrounded by family and friends, the emotions in the room were palpable. Our team worked to capture both the wide-angle views of the grand church and the close-up, intimate moments of the ceremony. The soft natural light filtering through the stained glass windows added to the ethereal feel of this important moment.

Family and Bridal Party Photos at the Church Altar

Immediately following the ceremony, we took family photos and bridal party photos at the church altar. The grandeur of St. Ignatius Loyola provided the perfect backdrop for these formal portraits. With Raquel’s assistance, we were able to efficiently capture every important family combination, ensuring that no detail was overlooked.

The church exit photo was another standout moment of the day. As Kyle and Nick’s guests gathered on the steps outside the church, we captured the joyful moment of the couple exiting as newlyweds, surrounded by the love and support of their friends and family. The excitement and happiness were written all over their faces as they made their way down the steps, with bubbles floating in the air to celebrate their union.

Bridal Party and Couple Photos at Bethesda Fountain

From the church, the celebration continued with a quick trip to Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain, one of New York City’s most iconic landmarks. The bridal party arrived via trolley, adding a fun and whimsical touch to the day. We spent time capturing beautiful bridal party photos at the fountain, with the lush greenery of Central Park providing a natural, romantic backdrop.

Once the bridal party photos were complete, we moved on to the bride and groom portraits. Kyle and Nick’s love for each other was evident in every shot, as they embraced, laughed, and shared quiet moments together. The natural beauty of Central Park, combined with the elegance of their wedding attire, made these portraits truly magical.

Cocktail Hour and Family Photos at the Central Park Boathouse Balcony

After the portraits in Central Park, we made our way to the reception venue: Central Park Boathouse in Central Park. Known for its serene lakeside setting and classic New York charm, the Boathouse was the perfect location for Kyle and Nick’s wedding celebration.

During cocktail hour, guests enjoyed drinks and appetizers on the balcony overlooking the lake. We took this time to capture additional family photos on the Boathouse balcony, with the stunning views of Central Park as the backdrop. The relaxed, joyful atmosphere of the cocktail hour made for candid, natural photos of the couple’s family and friends mingling and celebrating.

As guests entered the beautifully decorated reception space, they were greeted by the warm glow of the city lights reflecting off the lake. The room was elegantly arranged, with tables set for an unforgettable evening of dining, dancing, and celebration.

We captured a variety of shots of the reception room, both with and without the couple, ensuring every detail of the décor was documented. As the sun began to set, we also took Kyle and Nick outside for some stunning sunset and golden hour photos. The soft, golden light reflecting off the lake created a romantic and dreamy atmosphere, making these portraits some of the most breathtaking of the day.

The evening continued with dancing, heartfelt toasts, and of course, the cake cutting.
