Central Park Elopement with an intimate reception at the Beekman Hotel

On September 6, 2024, Patrick and Richard journeyed from Manchester, England, to elope in the heart of New York City. With 19 of their closest friends by their side, they exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony at Wagner’s Cove in Central Park. Their vision for the day was timeless and understated: black-and-white photography and candid moments that captured the essence of their celebration.

The intimate ceremony was filled with heartfelt emotion, the tucked-away nature of Wagner’s Cove offering the perfect setting. Afterward, we explored some of Central Park’s most iconic locations, stopping at Bow Bridge and the Bethesda Fountain. The monochrome imagery added a classic, cinematic feel to every frame, highlighting the natural beauty of the park and the love shared between Patrick and Richard.

The celebration didn’t end there. After our walk through the park, the group headed downtown to The Beekman Hotel for cocktails and dinner at Temple Court. The historic charm of the venue perfectly complemented the day’s elegant, understated aesthetic.

Patrick and Richard’s elopement was a beautiful reminder that love knows no borders. Their choice to focus on candid moments and black-and-white imagery reflected their personalities and made the day feel effortlessly timeless.
