I believe in the beauty of simplicity and the sophistication of genuine moments. Tiffany and Joe's wedding at The Wythe Hotel was a testament to this belief.
With camera in hand, I set out to document their day, starting with the anticipation of the morning preparations to the jubilant festivities that followed into the night.
Morning Preparations with Joe and His Groomsmen
The day kicked off with Joe and his groomsmen. There's a camaraderie that only a wedding morning can bring, and capturing the guys getting ready was a blend of humor and sentiment. Joe, cool and collected, shared laughs and a toast with his closest friends, all while donning their sleek suits and adjusting bow ties.

A moment of serene reflection, as Tiffany, draped in ruby elegance, takes a quiet pause amidst the joyful whirlwind of her wedding day.
Transitioning to Tiffany's preparations, the energy was a mixture of excitement and calm. The bridal party was a scene of elegance, with each bridesmaid attending to Tiffany. The bride herself was the epitome of grace, her gown and veil a perfect match for her radiant smile. These moments, often quiet and reflective, are the ones that lead to a day remembered.

The first look is always a highlight, and for Tiffany and Joe, it was a private moment of awe and affection.

We worked efficiently to honor everyone's time while still capturing the essence of their relationships.
