Bethany & Glenn's Whimsical Ace Hotel Wedding in NYC
When Bethany and Glenn reached out to me about photographing their Ace Hotel wedding in NYC, I knew it was going to be a good time. These two are total New Yorkers, and their wedding day completely reflected that. From the minute they got ready at the NoMad Hotel, where Glenn surprised Bethany with a first look before their ceremony, to riding the subway together as husband and wife for the first time, to their reception at the Ace Hotel - everything about their day was super relaxed, yet so stylish. Oh, and did I mention they are so beautiful together? Keep scrolling to see all the fun!
Bethany & Glenn's First Look
Having a first look is such a great way to start off your wedding day. Not only does it allow you to spend more time with your guests during cocktail hour (which means more chances for me to snag some candid shots of you mingling!), but it also allows you to get all of your couples portraits out of the way before the ceremony. This means that when Bethany and Glenn were celebrating with their friends and family during cocktail hour, I already had plenty of beautiful portraits of them in my back pocket! And since we had already knocked out all of the posed portraits, we were able to spend more time focusing on candid moments during the reception. Everyone's a winner!
Bethany and Glenn's ceremony took place at Great Jones Hall inside the Bowery Ballroom. The space is small and intimate, which made it feel even more special. After Bethany made her grand entrance (seriously though, that stunner of a gown!), these two exchanged personal vows they had written for each other. It was seriously one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. These two are so obviously head over heels in love, and I feel incredibly lucky that I was able to document it!
Bethany and Glenn's reception took place inside of Ace Hotel, The vibe up there was super relaxed - just like these two! There were lawn games set up for guests to play, piñatas hanging from the ceiling (which ended up being put to use later in the night!), killer dance moves being busted on the dance floor - it was honestly such a good time.
Oh, and did I mention there was an ice cream truck?! Because yes - there totally was an ice cream truck. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. ;) Thank you so much Bethany & Glenn for having me along to document your big day! Congrats again!! xo
