City Hall tosses iconic green doors for ‘poopy brown’ ones, devastating NYC wedding photogs and newlyweds
The iconic green doors that City Hall newlyweds burst through after tying the knot have been replaced by “poopy brown” slabs — fudging wedding-day photos and robbing couples of a Big Apple tradition. The City Clerk’s Office, which actually hosts the civil unions, suddenly replaced the famous gilded doors last week with dual brown doors, one of which is covered with plywood.

The iconic green doors that City Hall newlyweds burst through after tying the knot have been replaced by “poopy brown” slabs — fudging wedding-day photos and robbing couples of a Big Apple tradition. The City Clerk’s Office, which actually hosts the civil unions, suddenly replaced the famous gilded doors last week with dual brown doors, one of which is covered with plywood. “I hate to be vulgar, but they’re poopy brown, and it’s so annoying!” photographer Gianna Stern told The Post, adding that other photographers are “comparing it to cardboard.” The previous doors were “so iconic and so traditional and just so like quintessential City Hall,” she continued, noting that a picture in front of the green doors is always a top request by brides and grooms. “It’s a little bit disappointing because so many couples that don’t do full-blown weddings or big parties and just want the simple, cute, traditional city hall elopement that New York brings, we always just go to those same shots that are just always bringing that kind of atmosphere connected to New York to their special day,” said Stern, who photographed the eloping couple caught in the Knicks ticker-tape parade last month.
