Ryan and Wilson’s Magical Garden Wedding at the Brooklyn River Café

Some wedding days just feel like magic — and Ryan and Wilson’s was exactly that. The light, the energy, the setting — it all came together in the most beautiful way for their Brooklyn River Café wedding.

We kicked things off in the garden at The River Café, tucked right under the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s one of those rare spots in NYC where nature and city views collide, and the soft golden light filtering through the trees made everything look straight out of a film. Ryan and Wilson shared some quiet moments together before the ceremony, helping each other get ready and taking it all in before the whirlwind of the day really began.

Their ceremony took place right under the trees, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The garden was glowing, and the lighting — not to be dramatic — was unreal. Warm, dreamy, and full of that perfect golden-hour haze. They exchanged vows with the city skyline peeking through the branches and sealed it with a kiss that had the whole crowd cheering.

Afterwards, everyone headed to the restaurant where the celebration really got going. The space was cozy and full of life, with incredible food, heartfelt toasts, and one of the most joyful dance floors we’ve seen in a while. The cake moment? Pure joy. The dance floor? Electric — especially when grandpa jumped in.

Ryan and Wilson’s wedding was full of laughter, emotion, and love that you could feel in every corner. We left that night feeling so lucky to have been part of it and are still swooning over that ceremony lighting.
