Named one of the top 12 wedding photographers in NYC

Metropolitan Club Wedding in NYC

Welcome enthusiasts of timeless elegance and metropolitan charm! I’m thrilled to guide you through the iconic Metropolitan Club in New York City, where we celebrate love in a historic and grand setting. As a wedding photographer, capturing romance in captivating places is my passion.

The Essence of New York City

New York City offers more than just a backdrop; it’s a hub of innovation, diversity, and energy. Its skyscrapers, bustling streets, and hidden gems tell stories of ambition and endless possibilities. Amidst the urban hustle, you’ll find serene, luxurious spots that inspire me endlessly. In the photo gallery below, you’ll notice how the couple, along with their planner and floral designer, selected red and white roses, large white plumes, and elegant candelabras to fill the dining room. They skillfully blended these elements with the room’s historic design and color scheme, creating a modern atmosphere that still respects its rich history.

An Artistic Adventure

Photographing weddings in NYC provides an exciting, artistically inspiring adventure. The city’s vibrant spirit enhances every frame, while its rich cultures add unique charm to each celebration. From intimate rooftop ceremonies to grand events in historic landmarks, every wedding showcases the creativity and love that flourish here.

The Timeless Elegance of St. John Baptiste Church in NYC

St. John Baptiste Church in NYC, where they were married, is a stunning example of historical and architectural magnificence. Nestled in the bustling Upper East Side, this French Gothic-style church, completed in 1913, is a testament to the city’s rich heritage and cultural diversity. Its intricate stained glass windows, soaring arches, and detailed stonework create an atmosphere of reverence and timeless beauty. The grandeur of St. John Baptiste not only provides a breathtaking backdrop for weddings but embodies the enduring elegance and spiritual significance that make such moments truly unforgettable. It is one of the many reasons I love and appreciate our ‘hidden’ historic treasures in New York City.

A Celebration of Gilded Age Splendor

Today, I am excited to share a wedding I recently photographed at the Metropolitan Club, a timeless symbol of Gilded Age splendor, celebrating the enduring allure of New York City. Join me through history, artistry, and romance as we pay a modern homage to the opulent grandeur of 1891. Love knows no bounds here, and dreams come alive amidst the city’s dazzling lights.

Every wedding is a time to celebrate the significant commitment of unconditional love for each other. The love we saw in the eyes of Elise and Richard! The Proposal After graduation from the university they both attended, Elise and Richard picked their own paths in life. An alumni event in Manhattan in 2017 reunited them […]

“Berit’s pictures are absolutely amazing and she is so easy to work with. She had so many creative ideas for all of the shots to truly capture the uniqueness of the space and the feel of the day. We regularly flip through our album and the pictures really do the tell the story and capture the emotions of our favorite day. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Christine and Jerry embraced the winter weather for both their engagement photos and the wedding day. They had a precise and creative vision for both, which always makes me happy as we collaborate together. Christine’s gorgeous custom-made Vera Wang gown caught the winter light just perfectly. We did some of the photos in downtown Hoboken, where the couple lives, and the rest on the beautiful mountain top at Natirar.
