For Jessie and Glenn, it was the perfect location to celebrate their love story—a story that began with laughter and evolved into a deep, unbreakable bond.

The sounds of the city were softened by the gentle splashing of the fountain’s waters, creating an intimate atmosphere that allowed them to focus entirely on each other.

Reflections of Love and Strength

In this setting, every element of their relationship was reflected. The strength they had built together over the years. The overcoming the challenges of long-distance and supporting each other through their careers and studies. It was mirrored in the enduring beauty of the fountain. The ceremony was a celebration with laughter and tears.

The magic? It’s in the moments—and the details that shape them.
Your wedding day shouldn’t feel like anyone else’s. That’s why I always take time to celebrate the thoughtful, quirky, sentimental, or stylish choices that make it so you.

This bride,@gabbywitte had a custom bouquet made with all the notes and messages her groom had given her over the years together. Chills!!! 

Big energy in the small things—that’s what makes a ceremony unforgettable.

💬 Real Review, Real Love 💬

Reading this made me tear up (in the best way). It’s the greatest honor to be part of someone’s wedding day—and when couples share kind words like this, I feel it all over again. 💛

"Jackie is amazing at her job. The levels she goes to to make sure everything is in place on the day is nothing short of exceptional. From meeting us to sort the marriage license and organising hair and makeup for Lucy at the hotel. Uber booked to take us to the wedding location. Everything was timed perfectly. We organised all this from the Uk and just made us both so comfortable when we arrived in New York knowing it was all taken care of and we just needed to show up. Together as a team with Sascha doing the photography they are the best in the business. Such a happy couple and go above and beyond to make your day perfect. Thank you Jackie we will never forget our special day"

Whether you're planning a Central Park elopement or a chic NYC micro wedding, I’m here to make sure your ceremony is fun, heartfelt, and absolutely you.

✨ Details Series: An Ode to the Little Things ✨

The tiny touches, the quiet moments, the things you may not even notice in the rush of the day—but they matter. When we look back at an elopement or wedding, it’s often the details that tell the most powerful story.

Whether you're planning an intimate Central Park elopement or a micro wedding in the heart of NYC, don’t forget to savor the little things:

🖋️ Handwritten vows
📦 Custom ring boxes
💍 The rings—oh, the rings!

Every one of these choices reflects you. And when we capture them in a way that feels authentic, it makes your day unforgettable—not just for you, but for everyone who gets to witness your love.

Ready to plan a ceremony that’s just as detailed as it is meaningful? I’m here for all of it—tears, laughs, high-fives, and yes, even your perfect pair of sneakers.

Over 10 years ago, we met Artemis and her sweet kids, Athena and Dionys, when we all lived in the same neighborhood. Sascha took holiday photos of the kids, we played in the parks together, our daughter was in class with Athena. But life moved us in different directions, and though time and distance happened, we never stopped quietly cheering each other on from afar.

Then came a text that made my heart leap—Artemis was engaged! 💍 Just like that, we picked up right where we left off. Artemis asked if there was any chance we could capture her commitment ceremony and In less than a week, we made it happen… We all created the most magical beach commitment ceremony for Artemis and Mike.

It was cold and windy but sun-kissed, joy-filled, and intimate in all the best ways. Artemis kept saying how lucky she felt to have us—but truly, we are the lucky ones. Getting to be part of such a beautiful full-circle moment.

Here’s to second chances, big love, and the dreams that wait patiently until they’re ready to come true. 💛
