20 Heavy Metal Wedding Songs From Two Snobs
New York couple Sonia and Tom’s love story is a heavy metal anthem in itself. They met through mutual connections in the music industry – Tom was an audio engineer for one of Sonia’s productions, and their initial dislike turned into a passion-filled romance. Their shared love for metal music brought them together, with Sonia being a fan of Black Metal and Tom a traditional Heavy Metal enthusiast.
To celebrate their engagement, they allowed us to capture their special moment at Saint Vitus, a notorious bar in Brooklyn that perfectly reflected their edgy vibe. As we prepared for the shoot, we asked them to curate the ultimate heavy metal wedding songs playlist. And now, it’s our pleasure to share it with you.
