March weddings in New York have a quiet kind of beauty.
The city is just beginning to wake from winter, ivy still wraps around historic brick walls, and soft overcast skies create the kind of light photographers dream about.
For Meg and Jack, every part of the day was intentionally designed around The Foundry itself. From private moments beside the greenhouse fireplace to portraits beneath ivy-covered walls, the venue became more than a backdrop. It became part of their story.
Before guests arrived, they shared a quiet first look overlooking the Manhattan skyline, wandered through the greenhouse alone, and celebrated with their closest family before the ceremony began. By evening, candlelight filled the industrial reception space before the celebration moved back into the greenhouse, where the first dance unfolded beneath warm lights and a late-night disco ball.
Elegant, intimate, and unmistakably New York.
Meg and Jack intentionally completed their first look, couple portraits, and family photographs before the ceremony.
That thoughtful decision allowed them to spend cocktail hour celebrating with family and friends instead of stepping away for portraits.
The relaxed timeline created space for genuine moments throughout the day, from quiet time together inside the greenhouse to sunset rooftop portraits and a candlelit first dance.

From Prada heels and an elegant invitation suite to handwritten vows, an IWC timepiece, and carefully selected jewelry, every element reflected Meg and Jack’s understated style while becoming part of the visual story of their wedding day.
