The Foundry NYC Wedding
As a New York destination wedding photographer, I’m drawn to places that carry more than beauty. Catie and Ben’s wedding at The Foundry NYC in Long Island City was exactly that — urban, emotional, elegant, and full of atmosphere.
Set between ivy-covered brick walls, industrial textures, soft window light, and views of the Queensboro Bridge, The Foundry created a setting that felt unmistakably New York without becoming loud. The ceremony, the quiet getting-ready moments, the reactions of their guests, and the candlelit evening in the courtyard all came together with a rare balance of intimacy and city energy.
What made Catie and Ben’s wedding feel so strong was not only the location, but the way everything moved through it — the quiet tension before the ceremony, the emotion in the room, the softness between them, and the way New York stayed present without ever taking over the story.
A New York Wedding Framed by Skyline and Emotion
New York was never just the backdrop for Catie and Ben’s wedding. From the skyline above Long Island City to the quiet moments inside The Foundry, the city became part of the atmosphere without taking attention away from the people.
That balance is what made this celebration feel so strong — urban, elegant, emotional, and deeply connected to its place.

A First Look Above Long Island City
Before the ceremony began, Catie and Ben shared a quiet first look above Long Island City. For a few minutes, everything around them seemed to slow down — the anticipation, the nerves, the movement of the day.
With the New York skyline in the background and The Foundry NYC surrounding them, the moment stayed simple and intimate. It was not about the view alone, but about the way they saw each other before everything began.
A Ceremony Surrounded by Ivy, Family and Emotion
The ceremony at The Foundry NYC had a quiet intensity from the very beginning. Ben entered surrounded by his parents, Catie walked in with her father, and the guests filled the courtyard with that rare kind of attention you can feel before a word is spoken.

An Evening That Felt Alive
Some of the strongest images came in between the big moments — a quiet embrace, a look, a hand on the shoulder, a second that said more than words.
Dinner in the courtyard felt warm, alive, and unmistakably New York — with The Foundry’s lights, ivy walls, and city energy all around them.
Later, the night opened up into movement — dancing, laughter, embraces, and the kind of energy that only happens when everyone feels fully present.
