Our Story
98 Wedding Co. was founded in 2017 as a result of a serendipitous love story between Gui & his boyfriend, now husband, Joe. This story started a year earlier in Brooklyn, NY.
While Gui’s passion for art and photography was waning in Brazil, Joe was on the other side of the world in Colorado contemplating his next move into fashion design. Simultaneously, they both took their leap of faith and moved to NYC. At this time, Gui embarked on his journey into wedding photography while Joe began his career in fashion design. Unbeknownst to one another, their soulmate was just a floor away at 98 Clay Street. Yet, as many modern love stories do, Gui and Joe connected online, soon realizing their relationship, as well as their shared love for design, art, and fashion, were in perfect harmony.
One evening, after inspiring conversation (and maybe a few drinks) the idea for a modern wedding photography company was born. A wedding photography company that encompasses all of their joint passions and skills. While strolling home from dinner, Gui and Joe brainstormed potential names for their nascent venture. As they neared their building at 98 Clay Street, a spark of inspiration ignited: 98 Wedding Co. would be the ideal homage to their love story that blossomed just a floor apart.
