What happens when two Adams fall in love? They run away to The Pink Moon in Brooklyn, NY, to have a lavish elopement. The Pink Moon (insta@/thepinkmoonbk) is a gorgeous venue in the heart of Brooklyn (located at 478 3RD AVENUE) – its brick wall, the greenery, the murals bring a uniqueness to this intimate venue. The owner, renowned florist, Rebecca Shepherd, created this venue after spending a decade in the wedding floral business, to offer a special, intimate place for events, weddings, and collaborations.
Their Love Story.
They met through the Philadelphia theatre community and over the years, they became friends. But what really pushed it to the next level? We can thank everyone’s favorite Prince Charming, Shrek, for that. They both became involved in the production of “Shrek: The Musical” at the Walnut Street Theatre that their friendship blossomed and they even took it a step further. The Pandemic approached and this gave the ultimate test to their relationship. But they prevailed, able to grow further as friends and as individuals. “Having Adam by my side through all matters of uncertainty has been a lifesaver…I wake up every morning, look over and see his face, and I smile.I don’t think there’s been a day in the past three years that I haven’t woke up smiling because of him. I consider myself lucky. Very very lucky.” They have such a beautiful, authentic connection that blows others away.
The Details
Eloping does not mean you cannot have a gorgeous celebration for the beginning of your marriage. Elopement means the wedding is focused on the couple versus all the guests/the party. Often when picturing elopements, you envision running away into the mountains (I literally did this), but that is not always the case. Adam + Adam decided to go all out with their closest friends and family at this chic venue. The conundrum is often thinking elopements are just the couple, but often it just has to be some sort of intimate number less than twenty five.

The Moments Leading Up
When I showed my husband the photos of this elopement, he said, “those are the two best looking guys”. I mean – c’mon, do you see them? They both look incredible. They both went with very natural looks with just some concealer for the lack of sleep they got leading up to this moment.

A Sweet End to the Day
They did get a gelato cart to celebrate with more than just a cake! Not only was it a cute detail of their day but it was absolutely delicious.
Cheers to both Adams on eloping, and thank you so much for letting me document it. It was such a beautiful day to witness.
