Tribeca Rooftop Wedding with Sarah and Davey photographed by top NYC wedding photographers Josh Wong Photography

Tribeca Rooftop Wedding in New York City is known for its vibrant energy, iconic skyline, and diverse cultures. It’s a city where dreams come true. For many couples, it’s the perfect place to say “I do.”

Recently, I had the privilege of photographing a classic Jewish wedding at the breathtaking Tribeca Rooftop. This beautiful celebration of love against the backdrop of the city that never sleeps was a truly unforgettable experience.

The First Look & Rooftop Portraits

The bride and groom’s “first look” at Tribeca Rooftop was a moment suspended in time, high above the city. As the groom stood at the edge of the rooftop, the sweeping skyline of Manhattan stretched out behind him the air was filled with anticipation, each second passing like a heartbeat.

Then, with a soft tap on his shoulder, the groom turned to see his bride for the first time. Her gown shimmered in the light, a vision of elegance and grace, while her eyes sparkled with emotion. His face lit up with pure joy, the kind that comes from seeing the person you love more than anything. Their smiles met first, followed by a warm embrace, as the city quietly witnessed this intimate moment. For that brief, beautiful moment, it felt like the world had disappeared, leaving only the two of them in their perfect bubble of love.

A Traditional Jewish Ceremony Under the Chuppah

The ceremony was a heartfelt blend of tradition and modern elegance. Beneath a beautifully adorned chuppah, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends. The breaking of the glass was met with thunderous cheers, followed by an emotional embrace that signified the start of their new journey together.

Cocktail Hour & Reception: A Celebration to Remember

Guests enjoyed an elegant cocktail hour featuring gourmet hors d’oeuvres and signature drinks. Once the reception began, the energy was electric. The Hora was a highlight, as the couple was lifted high above the dance floor, laughing and holding onto each other while their loved ones celebrated with boundless enthusiasm.

Following the ceremony and the traditional Jewish blessings, the celebration continued indoors at wedding venue. The reception hall was beautifully decorated, with twinkling lights and elegant centerpieces that added to the romantic ambiance. The couple’s first dance was a touching moment as they swayed to a timeless melody, surrounded by the warmth of their loved ones. Followed by the upbeat dance party that ensued.

A Traditional Jewish Wedding

One of the most memorable aspects I love about classic Jewish weddings is the hora dance. As the couple was lifted on chairs and carried high above the dance floor, their friends and family circled around, clapping and dancing to lively music. The energy in the room was infectious, and I captured the sheer joy on the faces of the newlyweds as they celebrated their union.

Final Thought as a Tribeca Rooftop wedding photographer

In conclusion, photographing this classic Jewish wedding was a truly remarkable experience. It showcased the beauty of tradition intertwined with the vibrancy of a modern urban setting. I love the joy, and sense of community that permeated every moment of the day were a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of celebrating it with friends and family.

Weddings are a celebration of love, and when set against the backdrop of a breathtaking venue like The Grove in New Jersey, the magic is undeniable. Recently, I had the honor of photographing a stunning wedding at this luxurious venue, which perfectly blended elegance, romance, and vibrant energy.

As an award-winning photographer with a passion for storytelling through imagery, I always look for ways to capture the essence of each couple’s unique love story. This particular wedding was no exception.

The Venue: A Dream Come True

Located in Cedar Grove, The Grove is known for its magnificent architecture, lavish ballrooms, and immaculate gardens. From the grand lobby to the elegant reception halls, every corner offers a perfect setting for timeless photos. The natural light pouring through the large windows complemented the romantic, airy feel of the day, creating a beautiful glow throughout the ceremony and reception.

Reception: A Night to Remember

After the ceremony, the celebration continued indoors with a reception that was both luxurious and vibrant. The couple’s first dance, the heartfelt speeches, and the laughter shared among friends and family made for unforgettable moments. As the evening progressed, the dance floor came alive with energy, and I made sure to capture every smile and candid moment of joy.

Final Thoughts

Photographing a wedding at The Grove is always a pleasure. With its stunning atmosphere, every shot feels like a work of art. It was a privilege to be a part of such a special day and to document it for the couple to cherish forever.

As a photographer, my goal is to create images that not only reflect the beauty of the day but also capture the emotions and spirit that make each wedding unique. This wedding at The Grove was a perfect blend of elegance and emotion, and I am grateful to have been part of it.

If you’re planning your wedding at The Grove or another exquisite New Jersey venue, I’d love to help capture your story in a way that is authentic, timeless, and uniquely you. Let’s create something magical together!

Malee & David’s Wedding – Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz, NY

Labor Day Weekend! I couldn’t give up the opportunity to shoot at this enchanting, historic Victorian castle. Malee and David were such a beautiful and happy couple to shoot, I think I enjoyed myself as much they did. Their wedding was an explosion of cultures, from the traditional Jewish Ceremony to authentic Thai dancers at their wedding banquet. The Thai dancers were a first for me and many of the guests at the wedding and were a wonderful treat to a beautiful day. I hope you will enjoy some of the images of the wedding below.  David’s grandpa, Malee’s brothers, and the entire bridal party were a blast to be with.

Mazal tov!
