Lauren and Weston had a Governors Island wedding in the heart of New York Harbor, surrounded by sweeping views of the city skyline and the people they love most. From the very beginning, they made it clear that this wasn’t going to be a stiff or traditional celebration—it was going to feel like the greatest hang ever, a day where everyone could simply be present and enjoy.
They poured their personalities into every detail. A custom-built mini golf course became the perfect gathering spot for guests to laugh, compete, and relax in the afternoon sun. Their ceremony, overlooking downtown Manhattan, carried the weight of the moment while still keeping the energy easy, joyful, and filled with the kind of love that feels both grounding and electric.
After the island festivities, the night continued in classic New York fashion. Lauren and Wes brought their crew to the Lower East Side, where they filled a bar with the unbeatable combination of pizza, beer, and music. It wasn’t about formality rather it was about creating the kind of party they’d actually want to attend. The kind where everyone feels at home, where conversations stretch late into the night, and where laughter is the soundtrack.
As a photographer, it was a dream to capture. Lauren and Weston stayed present with their friends and family, moving through the day not as hosts bound by expectation, but as partners who wanted to savor every moment. Their wedding was a true reflection of who they are, thoughtful, laid-back, and wildly fun. It wasn’t just a celebration of their marriage, it was an unforgettable reminder of how much joy comes from doing things your own way.
