Fox Hollow Wedding | Sarah & Mark

Sarah’s Stella York wedding gown looked exquisite in the window at The Inn at Fox Hollow when we showed up for bridal prep.  Sarah’s hair and make-up was stunning as she was surrounded by her bride maids. As she slipped into her dress excitement filled the room knowing that her reveal with Mark was only moments away.  Family members and bridal party watched as the excited groom saw his stunning bride for the first time. After smiles and kisses were exchanged, we spent some time photographing the the happy couple with their families and bridal party.   Berfore the ceremony, which took place in the gardens off the Garden Terrace room, we spent some time photographing Sarah and Mark on the grounds at The Fox Hollow.

The reception room was magical with its beautiful floral centerpieces and flowers that adorned their wedding cake and gift table.   Guests enjoyed The Ruby Booth photo booth and got to dance the night away thanks to the amazing talent of the band Entourage.

Land’s End Wedding | Madalyn & David

After a fun filled engagement session, I knew we would have a spectacular wedding day with Madalyn and David, at the beautiful Land’s End.   Madalyn was super giddy when we arrived at bride prep, she was beyond happy and excited.  The couple exchanged gifts with each other, Madalyn gave David a beautiful wood box that her and her father handmade, along with a new laptop.  David wrote Madalyn such a loving, funny and heartfelt letter that I’m certain she will have framed to hang in their home, he also gave her a beautiful wedding scene snow globe and an exquisite diamond necklace.  Madalyn looked absolutely breathtaking in her wedding gown from Klienfelds and Badgley Mischka shoes.

The couple did a first look at the beautiful Byron Lake Park by the lake.  David was excited and teary eyed when he saw his bride for the first time and Madalyn wore the biggest smile seeing her handsome groom.  The bridal party cheered as the couple saw each other for the first time and after a few moments of love between the two; it was time for some lakeside photos of the couple their families and bridal party, and then it was off to the venue.

At the venue Madalyn kicked off her shoes and her and David climbed onto the stone jetty overlooking the Great South Bay for a few more photos, before their magnificent sunset ceremony.  Guests enjoyed the outdoor ceremony and the amazing cocktail hour that overlooked the water.   The reception room was magical with its décor and the Maid of Honor rapped her speech to the bride and groom and the crowds went wild. With another amazing Hank Lane Band, the dance floor was full of crazy fun filled dancing for the entire night.

Old Field Club Wedding | Samantha & Joe

Everything about Samantha and Joe’s wedding at the beautiful Old Field Club in Setauket was fun, playful and full of love.  Samantha’s “to die for” Hayley Paige wedding gown was adorned with delicate chiffon flowers that cascaded down her skirt, it was magnificent.  Bear, Samantha’s dog, was ready for photos in his sweet dog tuxedo and his sign that said “I loved her first”.  Samantha received beautiful diamond stud earrings as a gift from her parents.

The ceremony was held at the quaint Infant Jesus RC Church in Port Jefferson.  When the doors opened and Samantha started her way down the aisle in her amazing gown, the expression on Joe’s face seeing her was priceless.  She looked absolutely stunning!

The couple decided to take some photos at Frank Melville Park before heading over to the Old Field Club for some quick family photos.  Cocktail hour was enjoyed by guests while they over looked the West Meadow Creek and played fun games like giant Jenga and Corn Hole.  The couple and their guests got to enjoy a cigar bar and sweet treats from Roxy’s Ice Cream Truck.  It was a super fun night with plenty of dancing to the end of the evening.

Old Field Club Wedding | Jennifer & Ryder

THE MOST DELICIOUS WEDDING CAKE EVER!!! Ready….it was vegan!!!  Everything about Jenny and Ryder’s wedding at the historic Old Field Club was unique and amazing.  The couple had their reveal at the venue before heading over to the Old Field Point Lighthouse for some photos and then some family photos back at the venue before the ceremony.   Jenny and Ryder had their three puppies walk down the aisle as Jenny’s canine Maid of Honor and Ryder’s canine Groomsmen to the classical remix of “Who Let the Dogs Out” by Matt Mulholland, it was great.

After the ceremony we whisked the couple down to the beach for a few more photos and quickly returned for cocktail hour. The already beautiful Old Field Club looked spectacular with centerpieces and decor of geodes, stones, quartz/gems and flowers, alongside favors of green rock candy for their guests.  For this geology themed wedding Jenny gave her bridesmaids gifts of beautiful Malachite earrings, Ryder’s gift to Jenny was a PIG! named Mouse and she absolutely loved it. Jenny used sliced polished Agate as their place cards and the guest sign in was a basket of stones for guests to leave special messages on for the couple to keep. Even their first dance song was special and unique “The Lava Song” from the Inside Out soundtrack.  Jenny and Ryder’s story on how they met was even unique, but, the love they have for each other and their happiness was felt by everyone at this amazing wedding.  DID I MENTION THE CAKE!!!  WOW!! The fondant was made to look like stone with a giant crack in the side exposing the beautiful emeralds inside (green rock candy); it was absolutely gorgeous, vegan and DELICIOUS!!

Stonebridge Country Club Wedding | Meghan & Matthew

Meghan and Matthew’s stunning affair was at the beautiful Stonebridge Country Club.   Meghan’s hair was done by her best friend Danielle Ferrara and her make-up was soft and natural.  As her beautiful wedding gown hung in the doorway in the gorgeous bridal suite at the venue, Meghan was surrounded by her beautiful bridesmaids and parents.  A quick photo with her bridesmaids in their special robes and Meghan was ready to put on her dress. With the help of her mom and sister Meghan looked stunning in her gown with a jewel encrusted sash.  Meghan also had sentimental heart shaped pieces of fabric from her grandfather’s and uncle’s shirts sewn into her dress to honor and include each of them on her wedding day.   A first look with her father and then with her bridesmaids and it was time to go to the church to marry Matt.  Matt and his groomsmen looked handsome in their grey suits and Matt gave each of his groomsmen cool wood framed sunglasses.   The ceremony was at St. Joseph’s Church in Ronkonkoma. After the ceremony we headed back to the venue for family and bridal party photos. The gardens at the venue were in bloom and beautiful for photos.   Everyone enjoyed cocktail hour that overlooked the golf course.   The reception room was simply stunning with each table topped with a fragrant sweet bouquet of flowers.  Some crazy danced moves filled the dance floor and guests danced all night. The spectacular bright moon over head made for some amazing night photos.  Meghan and Matt’s bridal party lined up for a fun sparkler exit for the new Mr. and Mrs.
