Ellen and Andrew’s Harold Pratt House wedding was a stunning blend of classic New York elegance and heartfelt celebration. From a cozy morning at the Arthouse Hotel to a candlelit reception on the Upper East Side, every moment of their November day reflected warmth, love, and timeless style.
Getting Ready at Arthouse Hotel
The day began at Arthouse Hotel NYC, where Ellen got ready surrounded by her bridesmaids in one of the charming Upper West Side suites. The mood was light and joyful, with soft natural light pouring in as final touches were made. Meanwhile, Andrew was nearby, getting ready and soaking in the excitement to come.
First Look and Ceremony at Church of the Blessed Sacrament
Ellen and Andrew shared a sweet and emotional first look outside Church of the Blessed Sacrament on West 71st Street. This beautiful church, with its intricate stonework and glowing interior, provided a reverent setting for their traditional ceremony. Family and friends gathered as the couple exchanged vows, filling the space with joy and love.
Autumn Portraits in Central Park
After the ceremony, we headed to Central Park for portraits. We explored the iconic Mall and Literary Walk, then stopped by the stunning Bethesda Terrace. The fall colors and soft November light created a perfect setting for romantic, candid photos. Ellen’s classic gown and Andrew’s tailored look stood out beautifully against the golden leaves and timeless park architecture.
Reception at the Harold Pratt House
The celebration continued at the elegant Harold Pratt House, located on the Upper East Side. This historic mansion, home to the Council on Foreign Relations, offered rich wood interiors, chandeliers, and a welcoming atmosphere for their reception.
Guests enjoyed cocktails in the library before gathering for dinner and dancing.
