Nessa and Torry married on April 19, 2022, with their ceremony and reception at the Greenpoint Loft in Brooklyn, New York. The day moved from a getting-ready suite at The Williamsburg Hotel to a first look at The Boathouse in Prospect Park, photographed by Acromatico.
Acromatico had already spent a frigid engagement session with Nessa and Torry just months earlier, so a cool spring day on April 19, 2022, felt familiar. The morning began at The Williamsburg Hotel, where Nessa waited in a suite with sweeping city views, calm and smiling, after a fuel-up pit stop at the couple's favorite spot, Upstate Stock.
The couple chose to do a first look at The Boathouse in Prospect Park — a choice that left Torry speechless and shedding a few tears, and that opened up bonus time on the timeline for couple and bridal portraits before the ceremony. From there the day moved to the Greenpoint Loft for a rustic, boho, eclectic ceremony and reception, complete with Nigerian traditional outfits and New York skyline views.
“This bride left her groom speechless, even shedding a few tears.”
Good to know
The Greenpoint Loft sits in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, along the East River waterfront. It's known for sweeping, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, which makes it a popular pick for couples who want the city itself as their backdrop. The raw, open loft character suits rustic, boho, and eclectic celebrations like Nessa and Torry's.
Couples planning a Greenpoint Loft wedding often build a wider Brooklyn day around it. The Boathouse at Prospect Park, where Nessa and Torry held their first look, is a classic Beaux-Arts landmark on the Lullwater in the heart of the park. The Williamsburg Hotel, used for getting ready, is in neighboring Williamsburg, a short ride from Greenpoint. Spring days in Brooklyn can still run cool, so building a flexible timeline, like the extra room a first look creates, helps protect that beautiful daylight.
