Old Field Club Wedding | Kira & Michael

“We’re in This Together”

Kira and mike’s old field Club wedding was our final wedding for 2016 and what a way to end our best year ever! I knew when I first met with Kira and her sister Dana this was going to be a great wedding with another great couple.  I finally got to meet Mike on their e-session at Avalon Park a couple of months before their wedding and the three of us shared many laughs.

Fast forward to the wedding day.  Kira looked absolutely stunning in her Oleg Cassini wedding dress, what can I say, it had pockets!! Kira said it was for “pocket candy” which is exactly what I would have used them for too. Even her shoes were perfect, a simple blue suede ballerina style slipper. Decker’s Nursery, Florist and Tree Preservation (where Mike works) made the bouquets and boutonnieres and they were exquisite.

Kira and Mike did their reveal at the Old Field Lighthouse where Mike was doing his best to hold back the tears when he set eyes on Kira. After family and bridal party photos we were off to The Old Field Club.  At their ceremony Kira and Mike did a “Tying the Knot” rope ceremony.  At the reception Kira also surprised Mike with an amazing “Mario” themed groom cake. Their first dance song was an astounding rendition of “We’re in this together” by Nine Inch Nails that was recorded by a close friend. Mike had a dance off with the flower girls and everyone spent the entire night having fun and dancing thanks to Jorge Ponce of DJ Nevachange.

Giando on the Water Wedding | Bridget & Tyler

So many familiar faces! One of the best parts of our job is seeing so many people from past weddings we photographed. Bridget and Tyler’s Giando on the Water  wedding was full of familiar faces. The Ceremony took place at San Damiano Mission in Brooklyn. From there, Bridget and Tyler hopped into our truck and we headed down to the water with many stops along the way. It’s so much fun to work with couples who are down for anything. We stopped for graffiti walls, rusty doors and street corners.

We then headed to Giando on the Water just as the sun was setting. With the amazing views of the NYC skyline as a backdrop and the setting sun our excitement grew by the minute.  Every detail of the day was simply  beautiful.

Fox Hollow Wedding | Jacquelyn & Ryan

We always love when we get to celebrate weddings within the same family.  We photographed Ryan’s brothers wedding a few years prior to Jacquelyn and Ryan’s and we knew this was going to be another amazing day.  Jacquelyn’s dress was spectacular, I loved the back details.  It had a T back mesh and rhinestone piece and a cape! And her shoes!!  She had beautiful emerald green shoes with rhinestones that complimented the rhinestone detailing on her dress.  After and lovely ceremony and cocktail hour it was time to party.  Jacquelyn was on the dance floor all night long, she was definitely enjoying her beautiful at The Fox Hollow.

Old Field Club Wedding | Marisa & Anthony

How special it is for us to photograph Marisa and Anthony’s Old Field Club wedding on October 8th. Their wedding day was also our wedding day 16 years before. Our excitement started during their photo engagement photo session at the Milleridge Village during Christmas time. Marisa and Anthony told us how they loved the holiday season so the decision was made to have their Engagement session photographed there. Marisa had also requested that we photograph her bridal shower at the lovely Miller Pond House in the upcoming months before the wedding.

On their wedding day, all of the smallest of details had such big meaning, Marisa’s something old, was a bracelet from her mother in law, her something new, was her beautiful dress, shoes and headpiece, her something borrowed, was her bride hankerchief from her cousin and her something blue, was a spectacular  sapphire ring from Anthony, his wedding gift to her.  Marisa arrived to their first look at the Old Field Lighthouse in her father’s 1966 Cadillac and the expression on Anthony’s face when he saw Marisa for the first time was heartwarming.   Everyone around could see how much love they have for one another.  After our portrait session with the bridal party and their wonderful families,  it was time for Marisa to walk down the aisle and marry Anthony.  The heartfelt vows they wrote to one another brought a few  tears to guests (and this photographer’s) eyes.  The entire event was amazing from the first dance to the last dance, the Tarantella (the unicorn dance), and Anthony’s very touching speech after their cake cutting, where this incredible couple wished us a happy anniversary and presented us with a cake.  We absolutely loved spending and sharing this special day with Marisa and Anthony and are honored to share anniversaries with them.

Old Field Club Wedding | LeeAnne & Jeremy

Save

LeeAnne and Jeremy’s Old Field Club wedding was an incredible day. Their first look was at the Port Jefferson Harbor prior to their wedding ceremony. LeeAnne was absolutely breathtaking and when Jeremy saw her for the first time it was an amazing emotional moment for the two of them. The very first family photo was with the couples dog Bruno. LeeAnne had also included Bruno in her bride prep photo with she and her bridesmaids. The bridesmaids’ dresses were a beautiful gold champagne muted sequin with a scoop back that complimented the classy bouquets and LeeAnne’s gorgeous sweetheart/mermaid style wedding dress. Their beautiful Greek wedding ceremony at the Greek Church of the Assumption in Port Jefferson, included traditional rituals including, the crowns, the candles, the common cup and the koumbrao exchanging LeeAnne’s and Jeremy’s rings. After the ceremony we had another fun photo session at the Old Filed Lighthouse and at the Old Field Club. Family and friends enjoyed the cocktail hour overlooking the West Meadow Creek and Jeremy opened a bottle of champagne with his sword. Guests filled the dance floor and photo booth all night and the night ended with a gorgeous sparkler exit.
