A Geek Chic Industrial Wedding at The Foundry in Long Island City, New York

Andrea Ortado (29 and a photographer) and Miles Goode (27 and a sales manager) tied in the knot in a geek chic industrial wedding in New York City. The bride and groom first met at a Halloween party in Brooklyn. “We were both friends of friends and hit it off immediately, having many of the same interests and ended up spending most of the evening just talking to each other,” Andrea says. The couple chose The Foundry in Long Island City, New York, as the venue for their ceremony and reception because they wanted a city view and loved the industrial setting and history of the building. Andrea and Miles included many personal touches and made many of the decorations, including the robot centerpieces, by hand. They also made sure to pay tribute to their favorite baseball team, the New York Mets, throughout the celebration. Mets colors were featured in much of the décor and that day's game played on a large screen during the reception. “We wanted more than anything for the wedding to be fun and really a reflection of us,” they say.
