Sarah + Davey | New York, NY
New York City is known for its vibrant energy, iconic skyline, and diverse cultures. It’s a city where dreams come true, and 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”
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.
Following the ceremony and the traditional Jewish blessings, the celebration continued indoors at Tribeca Rooftop. 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.
One of the most memorable aspects of a classic Jewish wedding 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.
Photographing this classic Jewish wedding at Tribeca Rooftop in New York City was a truly remarkable experience. It showcased the beauty of tradition intertwined with the vibrancy of a modern urban setting. The love, 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.
