A Timeless Ceremony at The Church of Saint Francis Xavier

Nestled in the heart of New York City, The Church of Saint Francis Xavier is a stunning historic church with intricate architecture, towering columns, and mesmerizing stained-glass windows. As the bride walked down the grand aisle, the light pouring through the colorful glass created an ethereal glow, making for some truly breathtaking photos.

The couple exchanged vows in front of family and friends in a ceremony that was as heartfelt as it was beautiful. Capturing the quiet, emotional moments—the groom’s reaction as he saw his bride, the clasped hands during the vows, and the joyful recessional—was an absolute privilege.
