Starting with their first look outside of the Museum of Natural History, the couple made several stops on their pre-ceremony jaunt around the Upper West Side, including Shakespeare Garden in Central Park.

Soon, the pair arrived at 87th Street Community Garden, where they were welcomed by their friends and family with a champagne toast before kicking off the ceremony. The couple wed in front of a wall covered with layered, sprawling ivy, which served as an apt and artful background for a couple whose love was in full bloom.

The intimate ceremony was followed by a cozy reception at Bustan, a Middle Eastern eatery on Amsterdam Avenue. The venue’s patio offered peeks of Manhattan’s fire escapes, a tableau of industrial metals and textures which contrasted against the greenery and warmly glowing string lights of the space.
