Wedding at the Foundry

Who? : Ashley + Alexandros

What? : Preparations, first look, portraits, ceremony, and reception at a restored 19th century Long Island City building

Where?  The Foundry

When? : May 2019

“THE FOUNDRY INTERIOR BOASTS 3,000+ SQUARE FEET OF RAW SPACE WITH A LUSH OUTDOOR COURTYARD, ROOFTOP TERRACE WITH VIEWS OF THE MANHATTAN SKYLINE, INDOOR GREENHOUSE AND FULLY EQUIPPED INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN.”  When I read this on the Foundry’s website, I had to press pause for a second.  Three thousand square feet?  Raw space?  An outdoor courtyard? A rooftop?  In Long Island City?  WHAT WAS THIS PLACE?

Turns out, it’s the Foundry, and it’s everything you could possibly want – and more.  From the skylights in the getting-ready suites to the huge private courtyard, this wedding venue is a perfect find for couples looking for a unique-but-charming place to hold their wedding.  As a photographer?  Especially one who loves quirky spaces, great light, and greenery?  It’s a dream come true.

Also a dream come true?  Ashley and Alexandros.  They’re funny, incredibly sweet, witty, lovers of family and friends alike, and they know how to throw a warm, welcoming event that brings everyone together under the stars and sky to celebrate.  You two, it was an honor to celebrate with you and to document your day.

Here are a few of my favorite images from their wedding:
