The Romance and Glamour of New York City

I am a huge fan of alternative bridal shows because it brings a fresh take on weddings. One of the first alternative bridal show that appeared when I was planning my wedding was the NotWedding. The NotWedding is an alternative bridal show in the form of a fake wedding. Where engaged couples attend as “wedding guests” to enjoy an emotional ceremony, a tasty dinner and a dance-party reception while truly experiencing the wedding vendors in action. Well we’re lucky to have an engagement session of a real couple, Jonathan and Natasha, who were a part of this years NotWedding in New York. The photographer, Jessica Oh and her team of wedding pros were inspired by the novel, The Great Gatsby and wanted to tell a modern story of two lovers stealing away to be alone together in hustle and bustle of the world’s greatest city. So they chose New York’s beloved Highline Park for it’s minimalism and urban charm to get that modern twist on this classic novel. I think you’re going to love the styling, design, fashion and florals in the engagement session as much as we do! If you have never been to an alternative bridal show I highly recommend it! You won’t regret it. xo, Lucia
