NYC Intimate Wedding & Elopement Photographer
My name is Marybeth, and I am a documentary style wedding & elopement photographer in New York City.
My approach is documentary-style - this means that your moments are captured the way that they are actually happening, steering away from "creating" moments or faking things. No staged moments, only real memories.
Complied here is a list of the most stunning intimate dinner reception venues in New York City that I’ve come across and their contact information!

about me
Based in NYC, I have a serious passion for capturing memories. I find it to be so important because I know I will never forget the feeling of joy I get when I go through old photos of Christmas’ past, my childhood birthday parties, etc. For that moment, I can relive some of my greatest memories. And I want my clients to experience that for years to come.
Even watching my parents wedding film had me in tears. There was something so special about seeing so many people who had passed in their younger years. I feel it keeps them alive in our hearts.
In June of 2021, I got to be the bride! I had an intimate backyard wedding, and let me tell ya, it was the most fun I’ve ever had. And most of my guests said the same. I’m super passionate about working with the clients who don’t want the perfect curated photo for instagram, and instead are looking to leave space for them to create real memories with their friends and family on their wedding day. Being intentional with their time, and creating a low-stress environment for them to thrive in.
New York City, renowned for its vibrant energy and iconic attractions, also offers a magical setting for couples seeking an intimate wedding experience. With its diverse neighborhoods and stunning skyline as a backdrop, having an intimate wedding in NYC is the perfect choice. Picture exchanging vows in the Central Park’s Bethesda Terrace, surrounded by the stunning architecture. Alternatively, imagine a cozy ceremony in a charming brownstone, radiating historical elegance. After the ceremony, a romantic stroll through the enchanting streets of Greenwich Village or a private dining experience at a high-end restaurant further adds to the charm of a NYC wedding. From world-class photographers to talented musicians, the city's vibrant arts scene offers plenty of resources to capture every precious moment. A wedding in the NYC ensures memories to cherish forever, creating an intimate affair that will forever be etched in the hearts of the couple and their dearest loved ones.
