Anya and Jake had a beautiful fall Foundry wedding in Long Island City, New York. This stunning wedding venue is home to major events in the city, and can be styled to meet the needs of couples with all tastes. We absolutely loved capturing the memories at this beautiful wedding with blended cultural traditions. Mixing Jewish and Mexican traditions, these two had a fun-filled event full of family, friends, and joy.

Gorgeous LIC Wedding at the Foundry in the Autumn

The beautiful bride spent the morning getting ready in the Du Val Suite at the Foundry in LIC. This stunning loft features an indoor and outdoor component, perfect for both getting ready and for taking photos. That’s exactly what we did on this lovely autumn morning. Anya and her loved ones had their hair and makeup done in the loft. We then took photos on the bed of everyone doing a champagne toast before it was time to get dressed.

Anya wore a gorgeous white gown and found the perfect veil to complete the look. With an additional floral skirt add-on for the outfit, this piece went perfectly with her timeless wedding dress. Every detail of the day was beautifully thought out by this fun and creative couple. Jake got ready with his final touches in the Albra Room and the Pool Room at the Foundry LIC wedding venue before heading up to the Du Val Suite.

NYC First Look Photos on the Skyline at the Du Val Suite

The couple had their first look along the NYC skyline. The Manhattan buildings make for a lovely backdrop to wedding photos, and the Du Val Suite at the Foundry has a perfect view. Plus, you’ll get an additional view of the Queensboro Bridge, making for a lovely scenic backdrop. The Foundry wedding venue in LIC is versatile in that there are so many beautiful areas to take foundry wedding photos. This suite is an added bonus to spice up those photos.

Romantic Wedding Photography at the Foundry by Brooklyn Wedding Photographers

After the first look, Jake and Anya took their couples photos around the Foundry. We used the ivy along the walls of the courtyard to get the fall vibes going. New York wedding photography in the fall is the best because it’s full of color and the Foundry offers beautiful light. You get tons of that foliage at this Long Island City venue, with gorgeous details every way you turn. We also used their lovely lounge set to take some fun, candid NYC wedding photos.

Family Photos at the Du Val Suite

We took the family photos for Anya and Jake at the Du Val Suite right next to the Foundry. This was an easy meeting point so family didn’t get lost prior to the ceremony. It was also nice and private so loved ones didn’t have to see the ceremony and reception being set up. This space overlooks the courtyard of the event space, and the NYC skyline, giving options for different views. We chose to do the majority of family photos under the pergola at the Du Val Suite for good lighting in the morning.

Indoor Wedding Ceremony at Fall Foundry Wedding in LIC

Anya and Jake’s indoor Foundry wedding ceremony was held in the main room. The couple had a beautiful chuppah decked out in florals, bringing lots of color into this industrial event space. The chuppah was embellished with colorful florals, which played nicely off the brick walls. We absolutely loved how this wedding venue brought in lots of natural light, even for an indoor ceremony. Their lovely ceremony was filled with family and friends giving blessings and singing, and ended with Jake stepping on the glass.

Cocktail Hour at Fall Wedding in Long Island City, NY

A cocktail hour followed the Foundry wedding, where guests found snacks and drinks set up outside for the tented reception area. With Purslane Catering providing incredible eats, the couple had lots of vegan and vegetarian options for guests. The reception blended dances from Anya and Jake’s mixed Mexican and Jewish cultures, making for one heck of a party. The dancing didn’t stop the entire evening through.

Personal Details at the Reception for Anya and Jake

Jake is an animator and the couple included several creative and personal details to match their personalities. One of our favorite elements was custom cocktail napkins with one of Jake’s drawings on them. The ketubah the couple signed was also bright and colorful, making for a lovely standout piece from their wedding day details.

Beautiful Wedding Photos with Natural Light in Foundry Courtyard

Since the couple got married earlier in the day, they still had tons of daylight for their reception. As Brooklyn wedding photographers, this is a dream scenario that leaves lots of options for amazing photos. We were so excited about how active the guests were in dancing and singing through this Foundry wedding reception in LIC. When you have an open dance floor, people are always ready to get moving. We love how much fun people had at this Long Island City wedding venue with tons of space for guests.

Fall Wedding Ideas with a Tent at the Foundry in LIC

Although it was a little chilly outside, having a heated tent for this fall Foundry wedding made a huge difference. The couple had clear walls to the tent to let in as much beautiful autumn light as possible. For candid and fun NYC wedding photos, having lots of light is always an added bonus.

With such an elegant wedding venue setting, every angle made for stunning photos at this wedding at the Foundry. Plus, the couple loved hamming it up for the camera, making it an even more fun time!

Foundry Wedding Reception Schedule in Long Island City

One of our favorite parts of the wedding was the speeches. The bride’s brother and the groom’s two brothers gave toasts to the couple. Anya’s brother gave a very sweet toast that engaged the entire room. Jake’s brothers gave unique and create speeches: one of whom did their entire talk in poetry, while the other did it in song. Each one of the three speeches left us smiling and overwhelmed with feelings.

We loved seeing how much this crowd was ready to dance at this beautiful wedding at the Foundry.
