Tawny and Robert’s wedding day began at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, where they got ready separately with their closest family and friends. Robert spent a quiet moment finishing his vows, while Tawny got dressed with her mother before everyone made their way to The River Café.
Before the ceremony, we took Tawny and Robert along the waterfront for portraits with Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge behind them. The late-afternoon light gave us a beautiful window for photos before guests began to arrive.
Their outdoor ceremony took place in the garden at The River Café, followed by cocktails on the terrace. From there, everyone moved inside for dinner, speeches, Tawny and Robert’s first dance, parent dances, and the reception.
The evening finished with dancing and cake cutting surrounded by their family and friends — a full New York wedding day from Brooklyn Bridge Park to The River Café.
