Katie and Stan: Intimate Rooftop Brooklyn Micro Wedding

I walked into Katie and Stan’s apartment and everyone was gathered around the kitchen island waiting the final few minutes before heading up to the roof for their ceremony. Everyone was just beaming.

That’s what celebrating love is. It’s beaming even while you’re waiting for everything to get started.

Katie had shopped for flowers at the farmer’s market that morning with her parents and Stan was showing his family around NYC as they were visiting from out of town (and his little sister was making some really cool core memories as their flower girl).

They walked themselves down the aisle and their good friend married them. You can see it in the photos, their love and admiration for one another is real, tender, and sweet.

They valued getting to spend time with their closest family and friends, eating, drinking, and karaoking!

Their vision for their wedding day was for their photos to candidly show their relationship with one another and those they love most.

While also giving off funky vibes. And when I look at these photos, I think they give off funky vintage vibes! I love the blurs, the double exposure and the old hollywood flash photos.

The best way to get intimate fun photos in my opinion, is to embrace your wedding photographer as a guest/friend at your wedding. I’ll take care of the professional parts of being your vendor, but when you view me as a friend and let your guard down, it allows us so many opportunities to make magical photos! And that’s what Katie and Stan did. They invited me to eat with their family and friends and let me do my artistic creative thing all while chatting with me and sharing about life! It was laid back and 100% them.
