A SoHo Wedding in New York City
This wedding unfolded across the couple’s version of SoHo—getting ready at the SoHo Grand Hotel, exchanging vows at St. Anthony of Padua Church, and celebrating over dinner at Perra SoHo. Each location was chosen because it already held meaning, allowing the day to move naturally through the neighborhood they love rather than feeling built around a schedule.
Getting Ready at SoHo Grand
Getting ready at the SoHo Grand felt effortless and styled without trying. An Andy Warhol book sat nearby, setting the tone with subtle character, while Brooklyn was right there too—moving through the room as if he had his own part in the morning. Everything felt lived-in, relaxed, and quietly cool.
First look with Brooklyn
First look with Dad
The first look with her dad was deeply emotional. A quiet pause, a few words exchanged, and a moment that held more feeling than anything else around it.
A Ceremony at St. Anthony of Padua Church
The ceremony was deeply emotional from start to finish. Brooklyn running down the aisle —a personal detail woven into the moment, adding meaning without taking away from the weight of the vows.
Wedding Portraits Around SoHo
Portraits moved through SoHo with ease, the yellow checkered vintage cab adding a quiet nod to the city’s character.
Walking Through SoHo to the Reception
Walking through SoHo on the way to the reception, they passed cafés and open storefronts as the city carried on around them. Strangers clapped, cars beeped in passing, and a few voices called out congratulations—small, unscripted moments that made the walk feel like part of the celebration.
An Intimate Reception at Perra SoHo
The reception at Perra SoHo was intimate and full of feeling. Parent dances and heartfelt speeches set the tone, followed by a dance floor that stayed active and joyful well into the night. Brooklyn was there for it all—woven into the celebration just like every other meaningful part of the day.
