From the Hotel Chelsea to Central Park
Linda and Pearce started their day at the Hotel Chelsea, which set the tone for everything they wanted — editorial, timeless, and unmistakably New York. The pre-ceremony portraits inside the hotel’s hallways and stained-glass windows gave Linda exactly what she came for: fashion-forward images with zero production fuss. With fourteen guests waiting later in the afternoon, the morning felt calm and intentional, just the two of them moving through the hotel in beautiful light and great outfits.
Bethesda Terrace Ceremony + a subway ride downtown
After their Hotel Chelsea shoot, they headed uptown for an October ceremony at Bethesda Terrace. With their closest friends and family gathered under the arches, they exchanged vows in a setting that felt both iconic and relaxed — very Cakewalk. From there, they wandered through Central Park for portraits in the fall light: Bow Bridge, The Mall, the lakeside paths. Once the shoot wrapped, they hopped into a yellow taxi and went downtown for dinner, slipping right back into the city as newlyweds. Simple, elegant, and exactly what they wanted.
