Brick, history and a rooftop with city views welcomed us to Ainslie in Williamsburg. As New York wedding photographers, we love venues that feel full of Brooklyn character, and this one delivers. Ainslie sits on Ainslie Street, in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the city. Cafes, shops and parks surround it. The energy outside is fun, but inside it feels warm and inviting.

Ainslie is a wine bar, beer garden and Italian restaurant with ten thousand square feet of space. The building dates back to the 1870s, when it was used for warehouse and factory work. Today it has been turned into a rustic yet lively spot to celebrate. Exposed brick, wood details and industrial touches give it real charm. A retractable glass roof can even let in plenty of natural light.

The venue spreads across three levels, so couples have lots of options. The main floor has a wine bar with a wood burning oven. Out back, the beer garden opens through a hangar door into a garden with green walls. Upstairs, the Living Room offers vintage sofas, antique rugs and velvet seating for a cozier feel. Then there is the rooftop, with views of the skyline for a quiet moment under the stars.

Claudio and Claire’s Family Centered Wedding

Claudio and Claire met through a mutual friend in 2016. They were close friends for a couple of years before things turned romantic. They bonded over music, especially EDM and hip hop, plus food and travel. These days they call themselves retired ravers. They love spending time at home with their two cats, playing video games, cooking complex new recipes and planning their next big trip.

For Claudio and Claire, the wedding marked the start of a new chapter. They are drawn to simplicity and the outdoors, but they also love thoughtful details and timeless elegance. A soft, sage green palette set a calm and organic tone. At its heart, their celebration was all about family. They have always been people who bring others together, and their day honored the families joining as one.
