Peter & Priscila’s Intimate Ceremony

Priscila (“Pri”) and Peter wrote me to inquire about a date in June– I was booked already, but since they were planning an elopement-style ceremony in Central Park with just the two of them, an officiant, and a pair of friends to witness for them, I suggested a few other dates that would work if they were open to moving it a bit… All of us being busy New Yorkers we were hard-pressed to find a time between now and June that was mutually available, but finally we settled on… NEXT WEDNESDAY EVENING! So all of a sudden Pri & Pete are writing their vows, picking up a dress, and training their adorable dog Lilah to carry their wedding rings in a pouch from her collar (oh yes!). Of course the threat of rain most of the day pushed us inside the officiant’s church, the beautiful and unique Trinity Babtist on 61st street between 2nd and 3rd– what a lovely spot! The ceremony was thoughtfully put together by James Leonard, and we 4 in attendance were very moved by Pri & Pete’s exchange of vows. Since it turned out not to rain and the sky had cleared of clouds we headed straight to central park for a delightful portrait walk right after they said their I do’s. Of course Lilah couldn’t have been happier then she was there in the park– she almost caught a duck, too!
