The Foundry Wedding Photography

A documentary-style wedding at The Foundry in Long Island City, New York

Photographed with an emphasis on the people, relationships, and unexpected moments that shaped the day. The industrial character of the venue provided the setting for a celebration that brought together two large families and friends from different chapters of the couple's life.

Nathaniel, himself a journalist, proposed in an article he wrote on marriage rights for the Los Angeles Times.

A photo of the framed article is included in the portfolio below. Nestled among the words he wrote was a heartfelt desire to ask his partner to marry him.

To accommodate their large families, they immediately settled on the urban-industrial aesthetic of The Foundry in Long Island City. Their love story spans years of missed opportunities, wrong timing, and even a move to Africa. Gorgeous floral design, cake by The Chocolate Room, and wedding bands made by a friend are the sweet details that made this wedding a day to remember.
