Sascha

Sascha Reinking NYC elopement photographer

My adventure begins in a tiny village in the northwest of Germany. I know what you’re thinking – how on earth did I end up capturing elopements in the Big Apple then? Before I turned 30 the city had stolen my heart, after I arrived for an internship in Soho. In the beginning, I worked in architecture by day and studied photography by night. Now, I blend the best of both to create unrivalled backdrops for my couples eloping in New York City. Emotion, atmosphere, authenticity – I give couples it all, and have been for 12 years now.

Jackie Reinking NYC Elopement Officiant

What if the person who married you, on your most memorable day, in the best city in the world was a mix of your best friend, a shoulder to lean on, a kick-ass professional, and on top of that... plain hilarious? Wouldn’t that be ‘off the hook’ amazing?! Well, congratulations, you found your dream officiant! I was born in in Kansas but grew up in Portland, Oregon. New York City became home when I studied for my Bachelor in Musical Theatre. I have been marrying happy couples for the last 8 years now.

My name is Lucy and not only am I the mastermind behind this entire operation but I am also the only real New Yorker in this bunch.

I'm a master of Roblox and anything that has to do with design. I'm also on a competitive gymnastics team, Like everyone else in my family, I am crazy for Christmas and everything Disney.

My name is Walter and I am the baby & newest member of Team Reinking. Dexter sent me. I was born on a farm in Michigan and moved to New York City in January of 2023. I love long walks, I’m definitely into delicious treats and wrestling with my family is the best. I know I have big shoes to fill but my family loves me already very much.
