Rita and Fitz chose to celebrate their love in true New York style — starting with a ceremony at City Hall and ending the day with a relaxed gathering at The Ritz. From the moment we met them that morning, their energy was infectious. They looked effortlessly stylish — the kind of couple who make simplicity look elegant.
Their first look happened right in the courtyard of City Hall. Surrounded by classic marble architecture and the quiet buzz of downtown, the moment felt genuine and full of anticipation. They smiled, laughed, and took it all in — the city, the excitement, and the beginning of their new chapter together.
Inside City Hall, the ceremony was intimate and heartfelt. With only their mothers by their side, the exchange of vows and rings felt deeply personal. As they stepped outside as newlyweds, they were greeted by cheers and applause from friends waiting on the steps — a beautiful, spontaneous celebration of love.
Afterward, we wandered through the nearby streets, capturing portraits that felt natural and full of movement. The city became their backdrop — white stone buildings, timeless streets, and the rhythm of New York all around them. Every frame reflected their joy and the connection they share.
The celebration continued at The Ritz, where close friends had already gathered. The room filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and heartfelt congratulations as Rita and Fitz arrived. They took a quiet moment at the bar together — just the two of them — before joining the rest of the party.
It was a day that didn’t need extravagance to feel special. It was about connection, emotion, and the city that brought it all together. Capturing Rita and Fitz’s NYC City Hall elopement was a reminder that love, when it’s real, shines brightest in the simplest moments.
