When I first heard that Pop Up Chapel was teaming up with the Knot to create a special wedding event I knew it was going to be something spectacular.  I was honored by the Knot to be chosen to be the exclusive photographer to document this event for the magazine.  Twenty-four couples participated in making their marriage official one week after the State of New York allowed same sex couples to be legally wed.  The joy and support was palpable as couples, guests and passerby’s celebrated in the moment.

ICRAVE and Z-A Studio’s designed two architecturally inspired chapels, David Stark provided the floral and countless volunteers contributed to make this day truly memorable.
