When Baylee and Tom decided to elope in New York City, they knew they wanted a day filled with adventure, a nod to their love story, and a true NYC experience. Their day was all about exploring the city’s charm, from quaint coffee shops to iconic landmarks, and indulging in the best pizza the city has to offer.
We started the day in Brooklyn at SEY Coffee. This cozy spot was the perfect place for Baylee and Tom to unwind before their whirlwind day began. They sipped on some amazing coffee and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. It was a perfect start that set the tone for the day.
Next, we headed over to Stems Brooklyn, the cutest little flower shop where you can pick your own stems and have them crafted a bouquet for you. Baylee had so much fun choosing the vibrant, colorful flowers. The bouquet perfectly reflected Baylee’s personality and the energy of the day.
With her bouquet in hand, we wandered around Brooklyn, capturing photos of Baylee and Tom as they strolled through the streets. We took the Subway over to Manhattan, another iconic NYC moment that we couldn’t miss.
Our next stop was Scarr’s Pizza, a spot that held special meaning for Baylee and Tom. It was one of the places they visited on their first trip to New York together, and they had always talked about going back. Getting a slice of pizza in New York was a non-negotiable for their elopement. The pizza was as delicious as they remembered. After their pizza fix, they picked up a pre-rolled joint from a local dispensary.

This part of the day felt like a quintessential New York moment, capturing the energy and spirit of the city.
From there, we continued our walk to Brooklyn Bridge Park. We found a cozy spot to sit down, enjoy their pizza, and take in the view. As they shared their joint, we snapped some candid photos that captured the relaxed, carefree vibe of the day. These moments were so authentic, and so raw. Just Baylee and Tom being themselves! As it should be on their special day.
As the sun began to set, we moved to the waterfront, where Baylee put on her veil, and we captured a series of beautiful bridal photos with the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Skyline in the background. The soft glow of the lights, the gentle breeze, and the love between them made these photos feel like magic. It truly felt like a movie.
