We are thrilled to show you The Picnic House Wedding! The Picnic House is located in Brooklyn, New York. It set the stage for Lorie Ann & JJ’s elegant celebration. The venue’s natural charm combined with the couple’s choice of modern black, gold, and white palette created an editorial yet timeless look — clean lines, symmetry, and a quiet sophistication that perfectly reflected the couple’s style. From the outdoor ceremony framed by lush greenery to the candlelit reception, every detail of the day was beautifully considered.
The love story of Lorie Ann & JJ began in 2018 in a London hotel bar — JJ was DJing that night, and Lorie Ann was on a business trip. A chance meeting turned into a forever journey, leading them to this unforgettable wedding day. It was only fitting that we capture every detail of this day just as always. We take delight in telling couple’s love story through stunning visuals and that of Lorie Ann and JJ wasn’t an exception.
The ceremony was heartfelt and deeply personal. We captured the heartfelt moment when their two sons walked alongside their dad, bearing witness as vows were exchanged under a floral arch that seemed to bloom right out of the park itself. Adding to the intimacy, the couple’s beloved dog was there to share in the joy, a reminder that love extends beyond just two people — it’s a family affair.
The reception brought all the elegance indoors. We loved the couple’s choice of table and floral arrangements. Candlelit tables glowed with tall glass cylinders, delicate florals, and playful table markers — a seamless blend of modern design and personal touches. See the detail shots below. Isn’t this arrangement electrifying? When it came time for the dances, emotions ran deep: Lorie Ann shared a tender dance with her father, and JJ’s dance with her mother was just as moving. These moments, bathed in the soft glow of ballroom lighting, became cherished memories we made sure to preserve forever.
As New York wedding photographers, we were honored to document every detail — from the gleam of their gold rings resting against a black case to the candid joy of family moments and the grandeur of the venue itself. Our goal is always to create wedding photographs that feel timeless, cinematic, and true to the couple’s story.

The floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with daylight, keeping that connection to the park alive even indoors. It’s the best of both worlds—urban Brooklyn meets timeless nature.
