Rosebud & Andy’s Elopement at Washington State Park, New York City
The Location
Rosebud and Andy tied the knot at iconic Washington Square Park in New York City — right in the middle of the pandemic. Despite the challenges of the time, their ceremony was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable vows that reflected their humor and deep connection.
With the help of my amazing photo/video team, every moment of their celebration was beautifully captured against the energy of one of NYC’s most famous landmarks.
Testimonial
“Aretha made our elopement ceremony feel so personal to us, and handled everything with compassion and humor, during a time in our lives when we had good reason to be nervous about more than just the wedding (ahem, COVID.)
From the very beginning, meeting with her allowed us to feel like everything was going to work out perfectly. Her step by step approach enabled us to stay in the moment and avoid getting carried away by the stress of planning our wedding.
As for the ceremony itself, having her calm, steady energy at the altar was crucial to our special day, since we both came in a little hot. As a couple with a lot of energy and enthusiasm (sometimes a little too much,) she reminded us both to breathe, to look at one another, to really be present in our marriage ceremony; and I hope to carry the message she gave us into our everyday lives as a married couple.
Looking back, we both can honestly say that the ceremony was our favorite part. Standing there surrounded by our friends and family (at a safe social distance), standing under the historical arch at Washington Square Park, Aretha somehow made the whole thing feel like it was just about us. We’ll always remember it as one of the most beautiful moments of our lives. Thank you Aretha, from the bottom of our hearts, for making that possible.”
