Jeremiah + Mabelle

Let me just start by saying I LOVE WEEKDAY WEDDINGS!! And this one did not disappoint.

Weekday gigs have become increasingly normalized over the span of my career and the pandemic put them into full throttle. It used to be that Saturdays were the only real day to have a wedding, then Fridays and Sundays started entering the scene, but with the backlog of postponed events and craziness of trying to shuffle everything, a lot of couples have been flexible and had to be open to alternate days of the week. But I don’t see it as a compromise, in many ways.

A weekday wedding can oftentimes mean that you get the pick of the litter in terms of venue and vendors. I am MUCH more likely to be open on a Monday-Thursday than I am on a weekend. Particularly during peak seasons (think, May-June; September-October) when we tend to book out two years in advance. For Jeremiah and Mabelle, they threw their wedding on a rooftop at The Bordone in LIC on a Monday. They couldn’t have picked a better day, too!

Up on the rooftop of The Bordone in Long Island City, it felt as though they had the whole place to themselves. The NYC was absolutely showing off that day and we had golden hour coming off the buildings right behind them during the entire ceremony! We were able to get family formals and romantics done right after to take advantage of that gorgeous light and backdrop, which was an absolute dream for me! And then they partied the whole rest of the night with their closest friends and fam. A Monday VERY well spent, in my opinion!!
