Casey and Nik - Storybook Wedding at The Ripped Bodice

May 19th, 2024

Extra Extra! Read all about it…

On a gorgeous spring day in New York, the love story of Casey & Nik unfolded as if right out of a storybook. Or rather, literally surrounded by storybooks.

The couple said their long overdue “I-do”s to an intimate crowd of friends and family in the snug, warm interior of The Ripped Bodice— a niche, romance-focused bookstore in the heart of Brooklyn.

Custom newspapers announcing the couple’s nuptials lined the chairs as guests arrived, and the party that followed welcomed partiers with an impressive spread of various takes on a “dumpling.” Different culture’s interpretations of food inside a savory wrapping gave guests a tasting tour of some of Casey & Nik’s favorite Brooklyn restaurants. Plus, a wide array of homemade cookies for dessert, followed by a wedding cake from scratch.

Heartfelt speeches from family, followed by a dance floor dominated by pop-punk favorites closed out the evening; although who’s to say the party stopped when I left…

It’s a close call on who stole the show on this day: Kodak Gold on the golden hour walk to the reception, Portra 800 in the twinkle light-lined bookstore, or the Super8mm video of the whole day. Maybe you can decide?

Either way, congrats to our lovebirds! This one’s for the books….
