When this sweet couple reached out about photographing their Wythe Hotel wedding, I knew we were in for something special. There’s just something about this iconic Brooklyn venue that creates the perfect backdrop for intimate weddings, and this rooftop wedding absolutely delivered.
The Perfect Brooklyn Wedding Venue
The Wythe Hotel has quickly become one of my favorite venues for wedding photography in Brooklyn, and for good reason. Located in the heart of Williamsburg with city views of Manhattan, this boutique hotel offers couples a combination of chic interiors and rooftop space with the perfect cityscape in the background.
An Intimate Rooftop Celebration
What made this wedding so special was the couple’s decision to keep things intimate by hosting both their ceremony and reception at the Wythe Hotel. Many couples choose a Wythe Hotel wedding, but only for the ceremony. This day is extra special since they headed inside after the ceremony for an intimate reception dinner.
Not only did this decision eliminate stress about transportation and timing, but it also allowed them to be fully present in the day. They got ready in the hotel room, had the perfect NYC views during their ceremony, and seamlessly transitioned inside for their reception without missing a beat.
Editorial Meets Candid Wedding Photography
One thing I loved about photographing this Wythe Hotel wedding was the couple’s approach to their gallery. They wanted that editorial, polished aesthetic but also craved those genuine, candid moments that tell the real story of their day. The Wythe Hotel’s design makes this so easy to achieve. From the exposed brick walls and floor-to-ceiling windows, every corner offers a stunning backdrop for both editorial portraits and candid moments. The rooftop was absolutely perfect for a golden hour ceremony. As the sun set over Manhattan, we captured some of the most romantic images of the day.
A Couple Who Prioritized Their People
The intimate size of their celebration also meant that every detail felt intentional and personal. What really stood out to me about this wedding was how much this couple cared about their friends and family. Having their wedding reception inside the Wythe Hotel allowed them to spend time with each guest throughout the night. They were able to actually enjoy conversations and create memories with the people who came to celebrate this major milestone with them.
