Classic New York City Wedding at the New York Athletic Club

 

As a luxury NYC wedding photographer, capturing Erin and Vincent’s wedding was a masterclass in refined elegance and heartfelt celebration. Set against the iconic backdrop of Manhattan, their day unfolded seamlessly across two of the city’s most storied venues: the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, where they exchanged vows in a setting steeped in grandeur, and the historic New York Athletic Club, which offered timeless charm and sweeping Central Park views for their reception.

The day began with moments of quiet emotion—a tender first look between Erin and her father, followed by joyful time spent with her bridesmaids. The ceremony itself was both majestic and intimate, setting the tone for an evening that beautifully balanced tradition with modern sophistication. A striking black, white, and gold palette lent the celebration a sense of understated glamour, while a custom neon sign at cocktail hour introduced a touch of contemporary flair.
Among the many unforgettable images from the day, one of the most iconic was a spontaneous dip captured in the elevator—a reminder that in a classic Manhattan wedding, even the in-between moments hold elegance and meaning. Throughout, Erin and Vincent remained focused on what mattered most: a ceremony rich in meaning, and time spent celebrating with those closest to them.
