Ellen and Felix’s Harlem Elopement was amazing, they currently live in Harlem and wanted to have a wedding that reflected their life and create photos from places they go together. We started the elopement at the tombs on 121st street and riverside drive. We then walked down to the most iconic underpass in NYC for some couples portraits, we ended at the 125th 1 street train station right by their house. I encourage couples to think like them, and do elopements that represent who you are and really mean something to you and your authentic life.
Photo taken of me by my 6 year old daughter luchiana, back in my old hood, on the upper west side, my own small town, its weird to be a new yorker and think like that, but when you grew up here thats truly what its like, your apt and the 5 block radius around it becomes your own small town and in many ways as a small kid its all that exists. I love this place it gave me so much awareness of culture art and the reality of the world we live in, since you are confronted with that daily, i still have the pleasure of coming back here often to drop film at @proimagephoto and our kids pediatrician is still here. Walking around yesterday with my kids was so bitter sweet. Ultimately i think we made a good choice to live more rural, but grateful i will always have my ties and roots here and still get to work here..
