NYC City Hall Wedding Photography

Two grooms stand outside of the City Hall Marriage Bureau in NYC. Shot by NYC wedding photographer Angela Cappetta.

So, these two Israeli grooms eloped to the Manhattan Marriage Bureau. The event was shot using DSLR. Moreover, we used mostly available light. On this perfect summer day the light was beautiful. A luxurious lunch was enjoyed after at Bouley restaurant, In all, there were five of us. However, this intimate guest count didn’t lessen the celebration.

These two guys kept it casual, wearing simple collared shirts and ties without jackets. Two family members joined us. Thank you Ran and Lior for letting me be your NYC city hall wedding photographer.
