A Chic and Modern New York City Elopement

Inspired by all things New York, David and Cinzia decided to spend their dream day devoted to the city that stole their hearts. Planned expertly by BRITT JONES and captured by Philadelphia wedding photographer KIMBERLY HIDORE, the two decided to elope at the New York Public Library. The bride wore a beautifully crafted gown by VIKTOR AND ROLF, which was a short, chic look with an off the shoulder neckline, buttons down the sleeves, and a ruffled floral skirt. Cinzia stunned in her dress, and her groom couldn't take his eyes off of her. While the city never slowed down around them, David and Cinzia were in their own world. Cinzia's gown paired perfectly with the rich mauves of a delicate bouquet by NAVA FLORAL, which were an homage to fall in New York City. The bride's look and the groom's sleek, black tux absolutely screamed chic, New York elopement.

A big thank you to Philadelphia wedding photographer KIMBERLY HIDORE for sharing this engagement shoot with us. Kimberly loves capturing weddings on the East Coast and internationally. "I fell in love with photography when I was just 12 years old, learning to shoot on film and develop my own images in a dark room. I have loved visual storytelling ever since, and it has been one of my life’s greatest joys to work as an artist and business owner to tell love stories. I specialise in capturing ethereal joy drenched in beautiful light, and effortless images that depict the nuances of human emotion and pure connection. I live for the expression of human emotion—the tiniest touch of a hand, wiping tears from a lover’s cheek, and the joy that radiates from my couples’ eyes as they promise forever to each other.
