A Waldorf Astoria Wedding and Studio 450 Wedding | by Top NYC Wedding Photographer Josh Wong New York City Wedding Photography
A Studio 450 Wedding on a beautiful day in May.
There’s something undeniably magical about a New York City wedding. The energy of the city, its iconic landmarks, and the blending of old-world glamour with modern elegance create a perfect setting for Cheryl and Tom’s big day. And this particular wedding was a testament to that timeless NYC charm.
Getting Ready at the Waldorf Astoria: Where Classic Meets Glamour
The day began at the legendary Waldorf Astoria, a location that exudes opulence and history in every corner. The bride prepared for her big day in one of the hotel’s luxurious bridal suites, where golden accents and vintage décor framed her pre-ceremony moments beautifully.
Surrounded by her closest friends and family, the bride was a vision of modern grace. Her Vera Wang gown—sleek, minimalistic, and perfectly tailored—was a nod to contemporary bridal fashion, while her accessories added just the right touch of classic sophistication. From the sparkling shoes to the delicate veil, every detail was thoughtfully chosen, harmonizing with the Waldorf’s grand ambiance.

The Ceremony and Reception at Studio 450: A Rooftop Dream
After the elegant getting-ready moments at the Waldorf, the celebration moved to Studio 450, one of Manhattan’s most chic and versatile wedding venues. Studio 450, with its all-white interiors and panoramic views of the New York skyline, was the ideal blank canvas for this couple’s modern and elegant aesthetic.
As the guests gathered on the rooftop, they were greeted with a breathtaking view of the cityscape—a perfect backdrop for an unforgettable ceremony.
For the reception, the couple opted for minimalist décor with lush floral arrangements by florist Melarosa, with event design by Jose Rolen Events, in crisp whites and soft greens, accentuated by modern touches like geometric king table settings and soft candlelight. The entire space had an ethereal quality, blending urban sophistication with romantic charm. It was the epitome of NYC chic.
