Maggie and Catie’s wedding at 74Wythe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was a true celebration of love, art, and community. Their day was filled with personal touches, stunning cityscapes, and a vibrant energy that made it unforgettable.
The morning began with Catie and Maggie getting ready in separate hotels right next door to each other—Maggie at the Wythe Hotel and Catie at the William Vale Hotel. Each room buzzed with excitement, laughter, and the joyful chaos that comes with the anticipation of a wedding day. Captured in both digital and film photography, these moments felt raw and real, reflecting the essence of their love.
Their first look took place on the sprawling balcony of the William Vale, offering breathtaking views of the New York City skyline. Against this iconic backdrop, they saw each other for the first time, sharing a quiet, emotional moment before the day’s festivities truly began.
With their bridal party in tow, we took to the streets of Williamsburg for portraits, using the city itself as an ever-changing backdrop. From cobblestone streets to graffiti-covered alleyways, each setting reflected the urban energy of their love story. This mix of modern and historic Brooklyn architecture, paired with their effortless style, created the perfect editorial yet candid look they envisioned.
The ceremony at 74Wythe was nothing short of magical. With the New York City skyline stretching behind them, Maggie and Catie exchanged heartfelt vows that had everyone—from their closest friends to family—tearing up and laughing in equal measure. The love in the air was palpable, and the setting only enhanced the depth of the moment.
Maggie and Catie poured their hearts into every detail of their reception, making the celebration uniquely theirs. Maggie, an artist herself, hand-drew individual portraits of each guest, leaving a personal touch at every seat. It was an intimate gesture that made everyone feel truly special.
From emotional parent dances that had the entire room reaching for tissues to a live band that kept the energy high, the night was an unforgettable party. One of the best surprises? They each planned secret outfit changes, revealing new looks mid-reception that added an extra spark of excitement. Every dance, every toast, every laugh felt like a moment frozen in time—a reflection of the joy and authenticity that defined their day.
What made Maggie and Catie’s wedding so incredible wasn’t just the stunning venue, the skyline views, or the incredible attention to detail—it was the feeling that surrounded it all. It was a day built on their love, their creativity, and the people who mean the most to them. Every in-between moment, every glance, every unscripted laugh was a testament to the life they’ve built together.
Capturing their wedding was an absolute honor, and I feel so lucky to have witnessed a love story as beautiful as theirs. Congratulations, Maggie and Catie—your love deserves the world!
