If you were to get married in your favorite city where would you choose? For these two cuties there was no question that, though they reside in London, they would marry in New York City. So one plane ride, a stunning tea length dress and a bundle of pastel-hued balloons later they were reciting their vows in the majestic city hall of the Big Apple. Surrounded by seven of their closest friends and the talented Allison Pense they had one of the cutest ceremonies I’ve ever seen! Check out their big city adventure in the full gallery!

From Allison Pense Photography…Sara and Bradley flew into New York from London with 7 close friends and family members. Sara has been around the map to different cities and no matter where she ends up, NYC is always her favorite which is why the couple chose to elope in Manhattan City Hall.
Instead of holding a bouquet of flowers, Sara sported a bundle of balloons. It was perfectly fitting for her free spirited nature. It was one of the hottest days of the summer, but nothing got them down!
After the City Hall ceremony, we went across the Brooklyn Bridge into Dumbo, got ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream factory and finished off the day by letting the balloons go. So symbolic!
