Sharon and Chris’ beautiful October wedding on Long Island’s North Shore was a day to be remembered. Bridal prep was at the Hilton Garden Inn in Stony Brook. Sharon makeup was simple and natural and I loved the way Sharon styled her lavender purple hair with accents of little green flower buds and eucalyptus leaves. Chris got ready at the home that the couple shared and he looked dashing in his grey suit with purple shirt and tie. Sharon wanted to make sure photos were taken with Chris and their dog Ziggy and their chicken Tina (yes that’s correct, chicken), which made for some cute photos. Sharon’s mom and sister helped her get into her beautiful gown and Sharon did a first look with her father before heading over to Frank Melville Park for her first look with Chris. Chris waited patiently for his bride in front of the old watermill in the park and when the moment finally happened and he turned to see Sharon, both of them couldn’t contain the giant smiles and some giggles. We took every opportunity to photograph the couple at the various locations in the park before heading back to the entrance where we would take all of the family portraits. We also made a quick stop at the Belle Terre gates for a few photos with Chris and Sharon before heading to the venue for the ceremony. The ceremony was quick and sweet and Ziggy the dog was the ring bearer. The guests enjoyed cocktail hour overlooking the Long Island Sound. Sharon and Chris’ family and friends kept the dance floor wild with fun. And at the end of the evening everyone was treated to an amazing hot coco/hot apple cider bar, a candy table and a donut truck for yummy treats. Congratulations Sharon and Chris.

I know this was a tough decision for Sharon and Chris to make. With all the necessary changes made the day before and day of, the day was really fantastic!! The entire staff from the Old Field Club worked the event at the other venue and as usual they went above and beyond.
