Angelika and George’s Brooklyn wedding at Greenpoint Loft felt like one big, love-soaked exhale. When two worlds come together under one rooftop (with floor-to-ceiling windows, a rooftop sunset, and an entire crowd of guests speaking in both American and British accents), you know it’s going to be a day.
You know those weddings where nothing feels forced, and the joy is just… ambient? That was this one. From the quiet, teary-eyed first looks to the late-night pizza party on the dance floor, every moment felt like it was being lived, not just staged. And that’s kind of the whole point, isn’t it?
The best part was that Angelika and George weren’t rushing to check off a timeline — they were busy soaking it all in. Whether it was sneaking glances during their rooftop portraits or sharing a low-key laugh while getting ready, they moved through the day like they’d done it a hundred times before, completely in sync and wildly present.
Their wedding had this relaxed, intentional energy, like they’d scrapped every tradition that didn’t feel like them and replaced it with things that did. That’s the kind of energy I love to capture: not perfectly posed, just perfectly real.
George is originally from England, Angelika is from the U.S., and their celebration felt like the best kind of cultural crossover. You could hear both accents floating through the air, with guests from all over connecting over drinks, dancing, and hilarious cross-cultural moments. There was this unspoken sense of, “This is how it was always supposed to be”— two families becoming one, not just on paper, but in laughter, love, and really good vibes.
The rooftop cocktail hour deserves its own spotlight: golden hour light spilling over the skyline, everyone buzzing from the ceremony, and that kind of relaxed joy that only comes when you’re surrounded by your people and don’t have to be anywhere else. And the speeches were funny, heartfelt, and full of little inside jokes that made it clear how deeply loved these two are. (There was even a birthday shoutout for George’s mom that had everyone cheering!)
The day kicked off with an emotional first look and honestly, there was not a dry eye in sight. They slipped away for portraits before guests arrived, which made the ceremony feel extra intentional and unrushed. After rooftop cocktails, everyone moved inside for dinner, dessert, and speeches before heading downstairs for donuts, late-night pizza, and an absolutely packed dance floor. Think: no one checking the time, just living in the moment.
