As a New York City wedding photographer, I'm constantly inspired by the city's most elegant venues, but the Baccarat Hotel holds a special place in my heart. Its perfect fusion of French crystal craftsmanship and contemporary luxury creates an unparalleled backdrop for editorial wedding photography that truly captures the essence of Manhattan sophistication.

There's something magical about the way light dances through crystal, creating countless sparkles that mirror the joy of two people in love. This is especially true at the iconic Baccarat Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, where Jake and Kendra chose to spend their morning getting ready together before their wedding celebration. Breaking from tradition, they wanted their first memories of the day to be shared ones, and the Baccarat Hotel provided the perfect setting for these intimate moments.

The hotel's signature crystal chandeliers created the most magnificent light play, adding an ethereal quality to every frame. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathed the space in natural light that complemented the warm glow of the custom Baccarat chandeliers.

The bride was absolutely radiant in her Berta gown, its delicate beading catching the light in perfect harmony with the hotel's crystal accents. Jake couldn't take his eyes off her. 

The interplay of architecture, light, and love resulted in images that feel both timeless and distinctly editorial – exactly what my couples seek when they choose me as their NYC wedding photographer.

For couples considering the Baccarat Hotel to get ready for their wedding day, I cannot recommend it highly enough. It offers countless opportunities for creative, editorial-style photography that goes beyond traditional wedding portraits. Every corner tells a story, and every crystal surface provides an opportunity for magical light play that elevates your wedding photos to true works of art.

Jake and Kendra's portrait session perfectly exemplifies why I love being a luxury wedding photographer in New York City. It's about capturing not just the obvious beauty of the venue and the couple, but also those intimate moments and subtle details that make each wedding unique.
