Liberty Warehouse Wedding
Liberty Warehouse Wedding
Emily & Ben // Brooklyn, New York
Meet Mr. and Mrs. Walthall! This Brooklyn New York wedding at Liberty Warehouse was one for the books! But first, a dreamy proposal story. Ben proposed to Emily in Notting Hill, London, just before her 30th birthday, on the eve of their 7th anniversary. Emily, being a lover of all things British and a romantic comedy connoisseur, couldn't have asked for a more perfect proposal. With the help of a friend, Ben managed to secure private garden access and arrange a beautiful picnic, reminiscent of their first date in Prospect Park. Even before they shared their sweet proposal story with me, I knew their wedding day would be absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to share a few of my favorite photos with you today.

Kind Words from Emily & Ben
After booking our wedding venue, searching for the perfect photographer was the next priority in our wedding planning process. Photos are one of the few things you keep with you after your wedding day, so this decision was not one we took lightly. There are so many different photography styles out there, but we knew we wanted someone who could capture our day in a timeless and elegant way. When I stumbled upon Lizzie's photos, I knew she was exactly what we were looking for. What really won us over was our first call with her. On top of her obvious talent, Lizzie is experienced, confident and professional. We knew from that moment on we were making the right decision to trust her with the job as our wedding photographer! From our engagement photoshoot to our wedding day, Lizzie walked us through each step of the way and helped us feel at ease. On our wedding day, she brought such a peaceful and positive and presence all while navigating us through our timeline confidently and calmly. She even sent us our sneak peeks just one day after our wedding!! We have been married for almost 2 months now, and still cannot stop looking at the photos. It was such a pleasure to work with Lizzie, and we cannot recommend her enough!
Wedding Portraits at The Liberty Warehouse
Evening wedding ceremonies have been steadily rising in popularity over the years. As a photographer, I absolutely love how they create a relaxed atmosphere on the wedding day, allowing couples to truly enjoy their special moments. I had the pleasure of capturing Emily and Ben's getting ready photos at their stunning venue, the Liberty Warehouse. The elegant surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for the intimate moments before their big day. Soon after, we ventured out to the breathtaking waterfront for their first look and wedding portraits. When discussing wedding photos with couples, I make sure to understand their preferences beforehand so they can remain present during their wedding day. Emily and Ben expressed a fondness for a blend of classic, soft, and natural shots, along with some modern and contemporary styles like the artful use of focus (and having a few photos be out of focus). The combination of natural elements and urban scenery created an enchanting contrast that only enhanced the beauty of their day. We finished off at their gorgeous outdoor ceremony location before guests began to arrive.
One of the standout features of The Liberty Warehouse is its stunning waterfront location. Situated along the Red Hook waterfront, the venue offers panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Manhattan skyline. These breathtaking vistas create a romantic and picturesque setting for your wedding day, making it an ideal backdrop for both your ceremony and reception. Whether you choose to exchange vows under the open sky on the venue's outdoor terrace or celebrate with a reception indoors, you and your guests will be treated to unforgettable views that are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Before they even started searching for a wedding venue, they knew they wanted it to be in Brooklyn because it was where they met and where they are building a life together now. Coupled with the amazing views, the Liberty Warehouse was the perfect choice. Their ceremony was an emotional and sweet, set with the iconic NYC skyline and Statue of Liberty as their backdrop.
