NYC HOTEL ROOFTOP WEDDING

In a city built on energy and movement, Kristin and James found a place that always felt like home. Even after building a life in California, their hearts never left New York.

They returned to the city with intention—to honor the place where their story began and where so many of their memories live. New York isn’t just a backdrop for them; it’s a thread that runs through the fabric of their relationship. From long walks through Central Park to late nights in the West Village, this city shaped their connection in quiet, meaningful ways.

They started their day at The Standard Hotel, a spot that felt unmistakably “them”—modern, warm, and full of character. From there, they wandered into Central Park, moving through the familiar paths with the same comfort they share with each other. The way they held hands, the way they laughed softly as they walked, felt like a return to something true.

As the afternoon unfolded, they slipped into the charm of Palma in the West Village. Surrounded by candlelight, greenery, and the hum of the neighborhood, they settled into a dinner that felt less like an event and more like a celebration of everything they’ve grown into together. No rush, no performance—just presence, connection, and gratitude for a place that still holds so much meaning.

It wasn’t a grand production. It didn’t need to be.

For Kristin and James, this day was a love letter—to each other, and to the city that will always be part of their story.
