Do you want to get married here?
In the middle of Central Park — the lake below you, the city skyline behind you, and the person you love beside you. This isn't a fantasy. This is what your wedding day can look like.
You bring the love. We handle everything else.
Planning a wedding from another city — or another country — can feel overwhelming. The permit. The paperwork. The marriage license. Finding the right spot in 843 acres of park. Which photographer do you trust with the most important photos of your life?
That's our job, not yours.
We're Alexandra and Joan — a husband-and-wife team. Alexandra takes care of your Central Park permit, walks you through the marriage license step by step, and answers every question you have before the day. Joan photographs your wedding like it's his own family's. From the first message to the final photo, we walk you through everything.
All you have to do is show up — and be in love.
Your day, like a movie
We find your spot, together
Central Park has a hundred beautiful corners — but only a few are perfect for your wedding. You tell us the feeling you want — grand, hidden, romantic, cinematic — and we match you with the spot. We've married couples all over the park, hundreds of times. We'll help you find the one where you'll say "this is it."
You show us the pictures you love
Before the wedding, we send you through our real weddings — hundreds of them, all shot by us, right here in the park. Save the images that make your heart race: the kiss on the bridge, the walk through the trees hand in hand, the laughter right after "I do." There are no wrong answers — only the ones that feel like you.
Your favorites become the shot list
This is the part most photographers skip — and the part our couples love most. Joan studies the images you picked before your wedding day. When he shows up with his camera, he already knows exactly what you want: the angles, the mood, the moments. You're not hoping for good photos. You're getting your photos.
Affordable. Straight to the point. Stress-free.
No wedding planner required. No vendor juggling. No hundred-tab spreadsheets. Two people who have done this hundreds of times, taking care of everything — the officiant, the permit, the photography — at a price that might surprise you.
That's why our couples love us.
