[{"text_idx": "#000000", "text": "What I love most about wedding photography is that each couple has their own style and personality. I enjoy capturing that for them \u2013 the essence of who they are together. Usually, the venue a couple chooses is an expressive reflection of who they are. That being said, finding the perfect venue is one of the biggest steps in wedding planning."}, {"text_idx": "#000001", "text": "The venue sets the overall tone of the wedding. For instance, the high-end hotel makes the wedding feel luxurious and grand. A rooftop terrace feels intimate, light, and airy. Sometimes, couples are not looking for just a space to host their wedding \u2013 they\u2019re looking for a venue with a story. And that\u2019s exactly the case with Greenpoint Loft by BK Events in Brooklyn, NYC."}, {"text_idx": "#000002", "text": "With a prime spot overlooking the East River, this quiet loft sits five stories up with expansive views of the New York City Skyline.

The venue displays a cohesive and polished industrial look. You can almost feel the history as you step inside. Although renovated, they preserved as much of the original look and architecture as possible. Even the original elevator shafts were transformed into restrooms! This venue is quite unique, and I enjoy shooting here every time I get the chance."}, {"text_idx": "#000005", "text": "In addition, natural wooden cross beams, beautiful original wood floors, and exposed brick make it feel warm and inviting.

This venue is so much more than a warehouse \u2013 it\u2019s a welcoming blank canvas to design as you wish. As long as no damage is done (i.e. no drilling or nailing), the venue is open for you to decorate the space however you like. The crossed beams make it easy to overlay large arrangements up to 100 pounds."}, {"text_idx": "#000010", "text": "Greenpoint Loft can comfortably host up to 185 wedding guests.
