NYC City Hall Elopment Photoshoot in Manhattan's Civic Center

Chanakya and Pankhuri chose Manhattan's Civic Center as the backdrop for this elegant post-city-hall-elopement photoshoot, capturing their love against the historic urban landscape. Our carefully art-directed session transformed the government district into a romantic setting, showcasing their connection through intentionally composed photographs that highlighted both their fun and sophisticated personal style, and the architectural beauty of New York City.
I love showcasing how intentional photography can elevate a wedding day from simple documentation to a stunning visual narrative; together we created a series of images that not only preserved their special moment but also told their unique love story.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
