New York elopement wedding – Frida & Peter
Frida and Peter came over from Sweden for their wedding in New York. I met up with them after their wedding ceremony at City Hall, for portraits on location. As always, New York City lent the portrait session a distinct vibrancy. We walked along part of 5th Ave, swung by Grand Central, and then wend our way through Bryant Park to Times Square. Frida and Peter were fun to photograph, but their daughter, Tova, was the star as she hammed it up for some of the photos.
Frida and Peter, it was wonderful to get to know you. Best wishes!
I sent a Q&A set to Frida and Peter, and here they are with a few words about their wedding day:

Peter works as a project manager in construction in the one of the largest hospitals in Europe.
Why did you choose New York as the place for your wedding?
– Peter thought we should get married in Las Vegas; he could be Elvis, but I thought New York would be a much better place. We were in New York three years ago and we loved it, and we wanted to have the New York experience again. Just walking down 5th ave is an amazing feeling.
