Watch how we turned a rainy day into magic at Grand Central Station

On the wedding day, while we had a beautiful hotel space with an outdoor terrace, we had to work around the Stacy's sleeping babies.  Her two young daughters were taking their scheduled nap as the bridesmaids gathered around.  So there were limits to how much we could do in the room.  Happily, the girls got their beauty sleep and were able to get wedding too without any drama.

As a New York-based photographer I worked closely with them to ensure their engagement session aligned with their travel plans.  When rain changed our original Brooklyn Bridge shoot, Angel, the New York City wedding videographer, and I quickly pivoted to Grand Central Station, capturing breathtaking images that showcased the city's timeless elegance.  Later, when they returned to New York, I offered them a second complimentary session to fulfill their Brooklyn Bridge dream, ensuring they had the iconic shots they envisioned.

Planning a destination wedding in New York City is no small feat, but Stacy & Raul made it look effortless.  Having once called New York home, this couple's love story began in the heart of the city.  Though life took them to Florida - their hearts remained tied to the place where it all started.  With their families still rooted in New York, it was only natural that they chose to return to celebrate their wedding in the
