High line Hotel Wedding : Brittany & Ben : New York, NY

Brittany & Ben were married at The High Line Hotel downtown in Chelsea, New York, NY.

Getting married in the late fall and wintertime in Manhattan brings a special feeling to the event. Perhaps it suggests a large scale holiday bash in the form of a wedding. With the expert guidance of Sojourner Auguste of Erganic Design and the absolutely exquisite decor by Rebecca Shepherd, this wedding was a stunning event which was the sum of a unique choice in venue, an expanse private courtyard and towering ceilings which made the florals stand out like works of art. Glancing quickly through the photos just now I was reminded of a certain radiance to everything.

Joined by the great wedding cinematographer Ray Roman, we photographed Brittany’s and Ben’s final touches before a ceremony in the chapel of the on site seminary. A complimentary but separate entity to the High Line Hotel, the chapel is a short stroll down a stone path from the getting ready suite to the ceremony where the guests are positioned facing the aisle rather than the altar. This trains all the eyes on the bride in such a fashion that reminds you of a royal wedding.

Brittany looked stunning in Ellie Saab entering with her father as Ben in Tom Ford waited at the end of the aisle. It was a lovely ceremony followed by an outdoor cocktail hour while we photographed the family, bridal party and bride and groom. They made a grand entrance into the ballroom lit by Shades of Grey filled with their family and friends as Cool Rulers Band kept the songs rolling. The scene had this take your breath away feel to it which makes it a breeze to photograph. You can really focus on capturing real moments of guests interacting as the setting drapes everything in a moody gorgeousness.
