New York Wedding Videographer
Hayley & James’ New York City wedding elopement was incredibly special and was a pleasure to capture as their wedding videographer in New York. Wedding preparations were held at Hotel Le Meridien on 57th Street, on the 28th floor with stunning views that completely blew me away when I walked in. You could see Central Park in all its glory, surrounded by the urban jungle of Manhattan. Though the weather was grey, it certainly didn’t dampen the wedding spirit as the mist and rain inadvertently added that alluring mystical element to the atmosphere. It was a picture-perfect setting for their destination wedding. Planning a destination link this?

New York City Videographer
Hayley and James met for the first look just outside their hotel. It was a momentous moment and I loved how bystanders just passed by as they pottered on in the hustle and bustle of New York City life. We then met up with the rest of the wedding party; their New York wedding was an intimate number of around 30 people, all of which had come from the UK. Hayley & James had asked me to capture them as they walked from the hotel to the wedding ceremony location for their wedding video; which was was just around the corner at the Cop Cot inside Central Park. As their wedding videographer, it was a joy to capture an array of perfect shots as they made their way down 57th Street and 6th Avenue. They not only caught the attention of bystanders but also their congratulatory well wishes that came with it.

The magic of
Copcot
The ceremony took place inside Cop Cot, a small wooden shelter, which was originally built in 1985 and is the largest remaining wood shelter. This beautiful wooden structure, which is sheltered amidst the trees wilderness made it the idyllic private wedding venue for their intimate wedding. Not to mention it worked a treat as the perfect setting for luxury cinematic wedding videography. Hayley & James went for personalised vows, which were beautifully exchanged between one and another. After the ceremony was complete, naturally congratulatory hugs and warm wishes flooded in from surrounding family and friends. Being the passionate wedding videographer that I am, I had done a bit of a recce of Manhattan a few days earlier and had found the most perfect portrait spot on a crossing next to Central Park. The crossing was always on ‘Walk’, so it made it easy to safely position Hayley & James with a beautiful symmetrical shot of the towering skyscrapers in the background. (See the video for the shot; it was literally my favourite one of the day!)

FOUNDATION
It begins before the wedding day itself. Understanding what this celebration represents to you, the people who have travelled to be there, and how the experience will unfold within the pace of New York. Destination weddings here are not just events, they are shaped by the city around them. From the anticipation in a hotel overlooking Central Park to the movement of the streets below, every part contributes to the experience. The focus is on capturing not just the day, but everything that builds around it.
PACE
New York moves differently. From the moment guests arrive, the rhythm is set by the city itself. The energy of the streets, the flow of people, the constant movement that surrounds you. A wedding here becomes part of that pace. From walking through Manhattan to intimate moments within Central Park, each part connects naturally. Capturing this requires an awareness of timing, knowing when to move with the energy and when to step back and let moments unfold.
PRESENCE
Nothing is directed. In a city that never stops, I work quietly within it, allowing moments to happen naturally without interruption. Whether it’s a first look on a busy street or a quiet exchange in the park, the focus is on capturing what is real, without drawing attention. The difference is in anticipation. Knowing where to be before something happens, while allowing you to remain fully present in the experience.
LEGACY
What remains is not just a film of the wedding day, but a reflection of the experience within New York itself.
The energy of the city, the movement, the people, and the contrast between moments of stillness and everything happening around them. A film that allows you to return not just to what happened, but how it felt to be there. Something considered, immersive, and true to the time you shared together.

The Charm of the Plaza
We then headed over to the renowned New York hotel, The Plaza on 5th Avenue for champagne and afternoon tea. This luxurious hotel exudes confidence, history, and timeless elegance; an eternally classic hotel in a historic Beaux-Arts building. From the moment you cross the threshold, you are instantly transported to what feels like a film set as you are inherently urged to recall at least one moment from a famous film flick. It was a truly magical setting for their reception celebrations, and some momentous wedding shots.

Details of New York Style
Despite the rain and misty views, we made the best of the situation as I took some incredible wedding portrait shots inside the centre itself. One particular spot was a wall and ceiling made up of LED lights, which made the ideal cinematic and creative backdrop for Hayley and James as they shared a beautiful moment together. For the evening celebrations, we travelled by bus with the entire party on board to Gallow Green located at the majestic McKittrick Hotel on 27th Street – a rustic Oasis style rooftop restaurant in New York, Chelsea. Hayley and James’ had booked an area with a fire pit and old train carriage with stunning evening views of a misty atmospheric cityscape. Pizza and drinks were served, and speeches followed making it the perfect ending to a perfectly magical day.
