They opted for a smaller celebration because that’s just who they are—naturally gravitating towards intimate gatherings with those they hold dearest. Their special day beautifully reflected the meaningful relationships they share with each and every guest. Keep reading to see their stunning gallery!
Mina & Oscar’s Intimate Wedding in Hoboken, NJ
First look & Bridals at Hoboken Train Station
I met up with the excited couple near Hoboken Train Station to capture their first look. They wanted to take some time together before the wedding so they could focus the rest of their day on spending time with family and friends. They actually had their maid of honor and best man present during their first look, which I think speaks volumes about the closeness of their relationships. They were so smiley during this portion and it was absolutely contagious—they were just so happy to be with each other in this moment.
After the first look, we headed to the train station for bridal portraits. The Hoboken Train Station is extremely picturesque with stunning architecture. If you’ve ever been to Grand Central Terminal in NYC, it has many similar elements!
Intimate Ceremony Overlooking The City
Their ceremony was held outside on the balcony at Antique Loft in Hoboken, NJ, where they could overlook the city while saying their vows. It was just before golden hour, so the sun was still bright and shone beautifully on them the whole time. Photographing the guests during this moment was so much fun—they all had huge smiles on their faces and looks of adoration, especially when Mina and Oscar were saying their vows. They were so nervous, but you could see how supportive they were of each other, and their families were just so happy for them.
Reception at Antique Loft Hoboken
The reception was so much fun! The venue was decorated beautifully with tons of white, shades of pink, and stunning greenery hanging throughout the space. Lace and Rose Events did such an incredible job with the floral installations and overall setup—it made everything look absolutely perfect for celebrating. The first dance was so sweet, and you could just feel the love in the room. And of course the speeches were incredible—there was so much laughter and happy tears shed!
They had so many fun elements that made the night extra special, like a champagne tower that looked absolutely stunning, cut-out faces of the bride and groom that had everyone laughing, and one of my favorite moments was when Mina’s father sang the most beautiful song. It was so touching and you could see how much it meant to everyone there. The whole evening was just filled with so much joy and laughter!

A Message From The Newlyweds!
Here’s what they had to say about their experience:
“Chrissy was an absolute dream to work with! She is so sweet, calm, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. Her style is so unique and she managed to capture every special moment so beautifully—moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. We couldn’t be more grateful for choosing her talent!”

Mina and Oscar’s intimate celebration at Antique Loft was the perfect example of how meaningful a smaller wedding can be. From their sweet first look near the train station to dancing the night away with their closest loved ones, every moment felt intentional and full of love. Their day was a beautiful reminder that it’s not about the size of your guest list, but about surrounding yourself with the people who matter most. And as if this wedding couldn’t get any more perfect, it ended up being featured in British Vogue’s August advertorial!
