A Beautiful Wedding at the Boathouse in Central Park

Lindsey and Brian celebrated their love with a classic Central Park Boathouse wedding. Their day was full of quintessential NYC moments from getting ready at The Plaza, to capturing wedding photos in Central Park, and sneaking off after their ceremony for a romantic gondola ride!

Lindsay shared the sweetest review with me after their wedding: “Amy went above and beyond in making our wedding day special and we can’t recommend her enough! She was such a pleasure to work with in the lead up to our wedding and on the day off. Amy’s warm, positive energy is contagious and she left a lasting impression on my husband and I (she’s exactly who you want surrounding you on your big day!) Her work is absolutely incredible and she captured every moment of our big day perfectly.”

I am so grateful to have been a part of such a special day in Lindsay and Brian’s lives!
