Gramercy Park Hotel Wedding – Kira and Danny

It’s a rare occasion when a couple reaches out to us with only a few days until their wedding…Our couple Kira and Danny got engaged on a beautiful Spring day. They were thrilled to begin wedding planning, but were both nervous that planning would take a better part of their year. They visited Gramercy Park Hotel and immediately fell in love. Lightheartedly, their planner shared with them that the venue was available the following Saturday, and without a beat, Kira and Danny knew right away that their wedding had to happen there as soon as possible! With the help of an incredible vendor team, Kira and Danny planned the magical New York City wedding of their dreams in just 10 days! Guests were told it was an engagement party, and to their surprise, they walked into the ceremony. The wedding embraced navy blue and dusty pink decor details. Kira stunned in a beautifully beaded BHLDN gown. It was the perfect day and the perfect way to tie the knot for Kira and Danny. We are so thankful for them for trusting us to capture their day.
