A just-the-two-of-us elopement at Brooklyn Bridge Park

Groom dips bride on the grass at Brooklyn Bridge Park on the waterfront with the Manhattan skyline behind them after their Cakewalk elopement.

Anthony and Erica came over from Ireland and decided early that this one was just for them. No guests, no seating chart, nobody to look after.

They flew in a few days early to get over the jet lag and find their feet. For the ceremony location, they skipped the Central Park crowds and went straight for Brooklyn. They wanted some green, some water, a real neighborhood feel, and the whole Manhattan skyline behind them.

Two people on the waterfront. That’s the whole guest list.

A wander, a vintage cab, and a drink

After the ceremony, they wandered through Brooklyn Bridge Park, along the piers, across the lawns and down by the water, with the skyline following them the whole way. Then a vintage taxi pulled up and took them off for drinks.

They’d kept a few days free in NYC after the wedding, so nobody was rushing anywhere.
