Kristin & Drew Lotte New York Palace
Wedding at 620 Loft & Garden
Kristin and Drew’s wedding last October in New York was one of those days that felt effortless, full of personality, and genuinely fun from start to finish.
They got ready at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel, right behind St. Patrick’s Cathedral. From their rooms, the views were unreal, you could see the Cathedral from above and also look down onto the terrace at 620 Loft & Garden, where they would later say their vows and celebrate with family and friends.
Kristin spent the morning getting ready surrounded by her closest people, with hair and makeup that felt timeless and natural, perfectly complementing her look and the elegance of the setting. Her dress was refined and understated, moving beautifully as she did, while Drew’s suit reflected his classic style with a modern edge.
They chose to do their first look at the hotel, keeping things intimate and relaxed. After that, we spent some time taking photos with their families, friends, and bridal party in the hotel’s backyard, a quiet little escape in the middle of Manhattan. The florals throughout the day added softness and texture, blending with the architecture and bringing warmth to every space.
One of our favorite moments of the day was photographing them with their classic Porsche Carrera right outside the hotel. Kristin and Drew are big classic car lovers, and that short session added such a personal touch to their wedding story.
From there, we headed to 620 Loft & Garden for a few portraits with St. Patrick’s Cathedral in the background. The mix of the historic architecture and the city around it made the setting feel truly special.
The ceremony itself was beautiful, simple, emotional, and set against one of the most iconic backdrops in New York. Everything felt very them: natural, relaxed, and full of joy.
The entire day was planned by Classic Events New York City, who did an incredible job bringing the couple’s vision to life. And once the celebration started, the vibe completely shifted into party mode. The evening turned into a party espresso martini shots, nonstop dancing, and even a laser robot that took the energy to another level.
Kristin and Drew are the kind of couple who truly enjoy life. They love traveling, chasing snowy destinations, and spending as much time as possible on the slopes. That spirit was present throughout the entire day, making their wedding not only beautiful but incredibly fun to photograph.
A New York wedding filled with meaningful moments, personal details, and unforgettable energy, exactly the kind of story we love documenting.
