Kayla + Zach’s Ceremony on the steps of The Met

Kyla grew up in New York City, so choosing the Metropolitan Museum of Art for their wedding felt less like a statement and more like coming home. She and Zach wanted a ceremony that felt quiet, intentional, and totally on their terms. No production, no audience, no pressure.

Just the two of them on the iconic Met steps, taking in the city that shaped part of their story. It was simple, personal, and exactly the kind of low-key NYC elopement that lets the moment breathe.

A Wander Through the Museum

After their quick ceremony, they slipped inside the museum for portraits. They wandered through the galleries, moving from the Great Hall to quieter corners, taking their time and letting the space guide them. It turned into the kind of elopement day New York does best — iconic backdrops, great light, and the sense that the whole city is playing along.

Zero guests meant zero distractions, just a relaxed afternoon exploring the Met with their photographer and letting the day unfold naturally.

There’s something about her…

  • On the hottest day of the summer, Lindsay and Scott had their first date at The Maritime Hotel bar. They met on Bumble, and just before their date, Scott showed a picture of Lindsay to his mom and said “There’s something about her. I can’t explain it. We’ve never met, but this one is different.”

    He was right—the two laughed all night, and the rest was history.

    Lindsay had lived in New York for 20 years before meeting Scott, who had just recently moved to the city when they met. The two fell in love on the streets of the West Village–holding hands, riding Citi-Bikes, and exploring the neighborhood together.

    Lindsay and Scott’s Cakewalk wedding was a beautiful sunset ceremony overlooking the water at Hudson River Park.

    After they said their vows, they bopped around all their favorite neighborhood haunts – WXOU Bar, Casa Magazines, even the stoop of their first apartment together!
