Micelys and Andy's Wedding (Long Island City, NY)
The Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, Queens is hands down the most interesting wedding venue I’ve been to. It’s an industrial warehouse from the early 1900s (once an electrical parts factory), and now is used to house beautiful antique furniture (you can read more about it here). It is a wedding photographers dream come true with
The Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, Queens is hands down the most interesting wedding venue I’ve been to. It’s an industrial warehouse from the early 1900s (once an electrical parts factory), and now is used to house beautiful antique furniture (you can read more about it here). It is a wedding photographers dream come true with velvet couches, high ceilings, antique chandeliers, and unique furniture and decor everywhere you turn. I could be happy photographing every wedding there.
Truly though, Andy and Micelys could have had their wedding in a prison or a cave and it still would have been a great time. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Andy for a few years and he is genuinely the best coworker and all around best human being - one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. I met Micelys for the first time when planning for their wedding and she is just as sweet. They are absolutely made for each other. Congratulations, Andy and Micelys!

Eryn and Donnie's Wedding (Huntsville, Alabama)
My very first destination wedding took place in Huntsville, Alabama with one of my favorite couples, Eryn and Donnie. The wedding venue was Lowe Mill ARTS and Entertainment and the industrial, artsy space was beautifully decorated and designed by Eryn.
After photographing their engagement session in NYC, I knew Eryn and Donnie’s wedding would be a fun one. These two are some of the most fun, laid back, kind people I’ve ever met and they made me feel like a guest at their wedding. The wedding was at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment in Huntsville, Alabama which made it even more of a uniquely fun adventure for me. It was my first time in Alabama!
The wedding was unique to the couple with lots of personal touches and tributes to loved ones who had passed, and it was beautifully decorated with a boho vibe by Eryn and her mom. There were wheels of cheese instead of a cake (honestly, I might steal this idea for my own wedding. What’s better than cheese?) and a whole bunch of homemade pies for dessert (baked by Eryn’s sister if I remember correctly). Such a fun night with great people. Congratulations, Eryn & Donnie!
