Naomi and Brian are both from Northern Ireland but now live in Belfast and decided to skip a big celebration and instead elope in NYC:) They met on Twitter and started chatting off about Strictly Come Dancing and eventually met in person. Over 4 years later Naomi and Brian tied the knot on possibly one of the rainiest days this whole year:) These two were so easy going and so in love and we all got totally soaked that day! I don't think this blog would be complete without a quote from Naomi and Brian:

When you have a couple who met at only 17 while working in a mall in Brisbane, Australia you know you are lucky to capture their love story. Karah and Scott got engaged during their first trip to New York and they both fell in love with the vibrant city. The decision to come back and get married in Brooklyn was an easy one. It was a day full of unexpected delays but, like I told Karah and Scott, I love the unexpected and promised it would all be great no matter what. And it was;)
Read MoreCentral Park and City Hall Elopement, NYC - Katie and Daniel
It's time to share some winter love stories on the blog:) How about a couple who after years of not seeing each other met at a breakfast with a friend and found out they both had male boxers named Gus?! Meant to be for sure! I had a little adventure with Katie and Daniel back in December. These two came all the way from Australia after falling in love with the big city on a prior trip. We met up in Central Park and we climbed some rocks, drove around the city in yellow cabs, were trapped by tourists on the High Line and finally made it to City Hall for their ceremony:) To celebrate we hiked the Brooklyn Bridge for some final photos!
Read MoreGapstow Bridge Central Park Elopement, NYC - Lani and Lindsay
When two Aussies get eloped in NYC and I get to document the process magic happens! Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out although we spent half the time in traffic:) I love when couples let me document a few moments in the hotel room beforehand and you can just see and feel all the excitement and anticipation! This was also my first time photographing an elopement ceremony near Gapstow Bridge in Central Park. I have to admit it's one of my favorite spots now:) It's quite hidden from the crowds and yet you can still see the city skyscrapers! We finished our session all the way in Brooklyn with the best city views in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Read MoreLadies Pavilion Central Park Elopement, NYC - Michelle and Stewart
This year I had the pleasure of traveling to Ireland and little did I know but Michelle and Stewart are Irish! I found that out on their wedding day here in NYC two weeks before my travels and naturally I said we should all meet up in Dublin when I come to Ireland! The most amazing thing is we met by chance in a completely different town of Galway when these two spotted me in a local restaurant! It's a small world and sometimes plans don't work out but life just happens in the most random way and meetings like this happen:) Needless to say, I have the best memories from Michelle and Stewart's elopement! It was a day full of love, champagne toasts, some rain and lots of smiles:)
Read MoreNew York Winter City Hall Wedding - Emily and Scott
I love stories and Emily and Scott were full of stories on their wedding day:) We laughed, we cheered, we waited and waited some more in the long line at City Hall, we shared bits of our lives with each other and most importantly I had the pleasure of documenting these two celebrate their love! Congrats once again Emily and Scoot!
Read MoreFun Laid Back City Hall Elopement, Brooklyn Bridge, New York - Megan and Mark
The best 2 hours I spent photographing in December was during this fun elopement session with Megan and Mark! I just loved their energy and quirky personalities:) Sometimes I forget how exciting it must be to be an ocean away from your home and get married with your photographer being the only witness:) I could certainly feel and see that excitement shared between these two lovebirds! And how lucky we were with this incredibly warm sunny weather in December! Happy 1 month anniversary, Megan and Mark!
