St Ignatius of Loyola Wedding

Thomas and Victoria outside St. Ignatius of Loyola Church during NYC Wedding

The St. Ignatius of Loyola Church in NYC was filled with wedding guests on May 21, 2021. The high vaulted ceilings surrounded Thomas and Victoria. And the colorful stained-glass windows painted the scene around them as they were married. But, first, Father Michael Hilbert wed them officially during a beautiful traditional ceremony. And from there, the celebration was just getting started!

Then, a quick excursion to Central Park allowed Thomas and Victoria to take some sentimental wedding portraits. You could ultimately tell their love for each other, and they showed it!

Reception at New York Athletic Club

We took a trip to the New York Athletic Club for their reception. Their grand entrance was beautiful, followed by their first dance to the great song. The Way I Am, by Ingrid Michaelson. 

The reception itself was fun and lively, and it was full of dancing and live music. There was even a live band, Jose! The families celebrated this union in the best way, with movement and music. Best of all, everyone was smiling and having a wonderful time. 

Perhaps one of the most beautiful things to happen was the cake-cutting! It was extra special because Victoria made the cake herself. 

Dancing and music filled the reception. And it never slowed down. Everyone was so happy to see Victoria and Thomas married, and the celebration showed this. 

Thomas and Victoria, I wish you all the best in the coming years!
