Jessica & Ishan’s iconic New York Skyline Wedding
A Waterfront Wedding with Unmatched Views of the New York Skyline.
There’s something magnetic about a wedding set against the New York City skyline.
Jessica and Ishan chose Batello in New Jersey, perched along the Hudson River, where the water reflects Manhattan’s iconic silhouette in the most cinematic way. The setting felt grand yet intimate — modern architecture, open light-filled spaces, and a skyline that never competes, only elevates.
From the very beginning, their day carried that perfect balance of emotional depth and effortless celebration. And Batello, with its seamless flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, allowed every moment to unfold beautifully.
Jessica and Ishan’s wedding day unfolded with a depth of emotion that was impossible to ignore. Their ceremony was heartfelt and sincere — the kind where voices tremble slightly during vows and guests wipe away tears without even realizing it. Against the Hudson River, with the New York skyline rising in the distance, every glance between them felt amplified. The setting was iconic, but it was their connection that truly defined the atmosphere. The light, the wind off the water, the quiet anticipation before the first kiss — everything felt cinematic yet completely genuine.
Batello in New Jersey offered the perfect stage for their celebration. With its ceremony space overlooking the river, a front room ideal for cocktail hour, and a ballroom that seamlessly transforms from ceremony to reception, the venue allows a wedding to flow effortlessly. The wine cellar adds intimacy, and the riverside balcony delivers one of the most striking skyline views for a New Jersey or New York wedding celebration.
As the evening unfolded, their personalities took center stage. Cocktail hour featured personalized mixology and an abundant display of cheeses, charcuterie, and wine that invited guests to linger and connect. When the reception began, the ballroom was alive with whimsical decor and vibrant, colorful florals layered across every table. And then came the surprises: not one, not two, but three cakes — followed by a real ice cream truck parked outside for late-night treats. It was joyful, elevated, and unmistakably them — a wedding that balanced emotional depth with playful celebration, all framed by one of the most iconic backdrops in the world.
To complete the storytelling of the day, we collaborated with No Ordinary Love Films, creating a seamless experience between photo and video. Working alongside a team that understands pacing, emotion, and visual cohesion makes all the difference — every frame feels intentional and unified. Their use of Super 8 film added the ultimate nostalgic layer to Jessica and Ishan’s celebration, giving the motion footage that soft, romantic texture that digital simply can’t replicate. For couples planning a wedding in the New York or New Jersey area, our combined photo and video coverage ensures your day is captured with consistency, artistry, and emotional depth — from still moments to moving memories.
