Vintage Destination Wedding at Bryant Park Grill + The NYPL

Sheraden & Alessio traveled all the way from Canada to have their dream destination wedding NYC! Sheraden is an absolute cool girl and had the most unique aesthetic for her wedding day. With the perfect backdrop of the NYPL and Bryant Park, their wedding was one I’ll never forget. As a NYC wedding photographer, the NYPL is definitely always going to be a favorite photo location.

While Sheraden has her own incredibly unique personality and taste, she chose to start the day wearing her late sisters wedding dress, to honor her and keep her close on her special day. It was the sweetest touch, that her close family also appreciated. She later changed into a second dress to fully showcase her individuality.

The exterior of the New York Public Library is a stunning example of Beaux-Arts architecture, characterized by its grand façade and intricate detailing.

Flanking the entrance are the iconic lion statues, symbolizing strength and wisdom, which have become emblematic of the library itself. The ornate carvings and expansive steps lead visitors into a world of knowledge, making the building not just a library but a landmark that harmonizes classical beauty with the vibrant energy of the city.
