Astoria, Queens

Vaia and Kosta decided to get married after eleven years together. Ten of those years were spent in a long-distance relationship—they spent entire weeks waiting to be with each other on weekends, and when Sunday rolled around, it was nearly impossible to tear them apart. Every weekend felt like a mini-vacation. When they finally moved in together, they worried that feeling might fade, but it was quite the opposite. Now, they feel like they're on a permanent vacation with each other.

This September, they were married on their building’s rooftop, with a beautiful view of the New York City skyline. After their intimate ceremony, they had a photoshoot around Queens, stopping by the iconic Pepsi sign and some of the neighborhood spots they love for their wedding portraits.
