A Nod to Nostalgia: Sabrina & Brian’s Wedding Journey from Madison Square Park to Harding’s NYC
Sabrina and Brian chose to celebrate their love story with a classic New York City wedding on October 22, 2022. Their special day began with a sweet first look in the iconic Madison Square Park. It then continued with a nostalgic and charming reception at Harding’s Restaurant and Bar. The Harding’s Restaurant and Bar wedding was as beautiful as the couple. As a wedding photographer who loves the unique character of NYC weddings, this day beautifully combined urban romance and historic elegance.
Sweet First Moments in Madison Square Park
The day started with anticipation as Sabrina and Brian met for their first look amidst the vibrant atmosphere of Madison Square Park. Because it was a crisp fall day, the park’s beautiful greenery offered a lovely contrast to their wedding attire. Their heartfelt and genuine reactions upon seeing each other marked a beautiful beginning. It was the start of their wedding day journey in the heart of Manhattan.
Celebrating History and Love at Harding’s Restaurant and Bar
Following their touching first look, the celebration moved to Harding’s Restaurant and Bar, located in the Flatiron District. Housed in a turn-of-the-century printing press building, this venue offers a unique and nostalgic ambiance. It perfectly suited Sabrina and Brian, a non-traditional couple seeking a memorable setting. The Harding’s Restaurant and Bar wedding perfectly matched their non-traditional style. They truly embraced the venue’s charm, evident in its exposed brick walls, antique mirrors, vintage chandeliers, and even a striking 32-foot American flag from 1896.
Consequently, the 19th-century atmosphere of Harding’s created a dramatic and intimate backdrop for their reception. There, guests enjoyed the delicious food and drinks for which Harding’s is known. All this happened while they were surrounded by a fascinating collection of American antiques and historical items. Furthermore, the two-level space facilitated a seamless flow between the cocktail hour and the seated dinner. This ensured a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone at the Harding’s Restaurant and Bar wedding.
A Perfect Blend of City Romance and Vintage Charm
Ultimately, Sabrina and Brian’s wedding day beautifully reflected their personalities and their love for New York City. The outdoor first look in Madison Square Park captured the energy of the city. Meanwhile, the reception at Harding’s Restaurant and Bar offered a delightful step back in time with its vintage charm. The Harding’s Restaurant and Bar wedding was an honor for me to document.
