The day began at one of Brooklyn’s most iconic wedding venues — The Prospect Park Boathouse. When we arrived, Gabrielle and Mitchell were already dressed and glowing with excitement. Everything was ready for their first look, one of the most emotional moments of any wedding day. It took place on the upper terrace overlooking the lake, where the soft light reflected off the water and the lush greenery framed them perfectly. That moment, when they saw each other for the first time, felt quiet, real, and full of love.
After capturing their first look, we moved into a short portrait session around the Boathouse. Both Gabrielle and Mitchell looked incredible — elegant, charismatic, and effortlessly stylish. Soon, their bridal party joined us: bridesmaids in stunning red dresses full of energy and laughter, and groomsmen in perfectly tailored suits looking sharp and confident. The energy between them was contagious, and every shot felt alive and joyful.
We then took a short walk into Prospect Park, finding small, peaceful corners of green for intimate couple portraits. The light filtered softly through the trees, and every frame showed their chemistry and happiness. But it was almost time for the ceremony, so we returned to the Boathouse, where guests were already gathering and enjoying the warm atmosphere of anticipation.
After the ceremony came cocktail hour. Guests mingled, toasted the newlyweds, and enjoyed the golden evening light by the lake. Laughter echoed across the terrace, and we captured the candid smiles and hugs that make each celebration unique. When it was time to move indoors, the Boathouse’s elegant interior was ready for dinner. The space looked stunning — candlelight, floral arrangements, and the buzz of happy conversation.
The reception began with heartfelt speeches from friends and family, full of humor, warmth, and love. Then came the first dance — a moment that stopped time. Gabrielle and Mitchell moved gracefully across the floor, completely lost in each other. Afterward, they shared dances with their parents, bringing tears to more than a few eyes. And then, the party truly began. The dance floor filled up instantly, music played, laughter rang out, and the evening turned into a celebration of joy and togetherness that lasted late into the night.
We loved being part of Gabrielle and Mitchell’s Prospect Park wedding. It was elegant but relaxed, full of emotion yet effortless — the perfect balance that makes New York weddings so unforgettable. From the serenity of the lake to the laughter on the dance floor, it was a day that captured everything love in this city can be.
