Meya and Jose wed on a crisp fall morning at New York City Hall, bringing their closest loved ones along for the ride. Trading a traditional wedding for an urban adventure, they embraced the season’s vibrant energy and the city’s undeniable charm.
After exchanging vows in the warm glow of City Hall, they stepped out into the bustling streets, hearts as light as the golden autumn leaves that lined the sidewalks. With laughter and cheers, their entire family followed them — a joyous entourage of siblings, parents, cousins, and best friends — ready to turn the city into their own celebration.
True to classic New York style, we all piled onto the subway, weaving through the city underground, a parade of love and laughter. Every click of the camera captured stolen glances, laughter, and the unfiltered joy of the moment.
Their destination? Balthazar — the iconic French bistro where they gathered around a long table, sharing plates of oysters, champagne toasts, and stories of love. Every detail, from the flickering candlelight to the cozy hum of conversation, felt like a warm embrace, perfectly complementing the crisp autumn air.
Meya and Jose requested photos that felt as alive as their day — all celebration, all candid, all real. The subway, the sidewalks, the bistro’s golden glow — every frame told the story of a couple who celebrated their way, surrounded by the people who mean the most.
