Congratulations on your wedding! Was it a New York wedding? A destination wedding? Was it held on a rooftop like Tribeca 360 modern space event, Midtown Loft, or Gary's Loft, or did you say your I Do's in St. Patrick's Cathedral and had a reception at the Park Plaza or the Regis Hotel? Maybe it was at Oheka Castle, or by the beach or water like Peconic Bay Yacht Club, or Old Field Club in Long Island? Regardless of where it was held, I'm sure everything was beautiful, and all the wedding planning leading up to the big day was all worth it. After saying your vows and dancing the night away, it's natural to take some time to enjoy married life - yes, you're married! - and soak in wedding bliss.

Bourne Mansion Long Island New York Wedding Photography - A&J
What a beautiful wedding at the Bourne Mansion in Oakdale, NY! This Long Island New York wedding has photos beyond a couple’s dream. The details were constructed perfectly with a champagne theme. The bridesmaids dress glittered champagne, and the men looked dashing in their suits to match the occasion. Bourne Mansion has a beautiful garden overlooking the water. Its views with the mansion just added to the ambiance of the wedding when you add the bride and groom and their bridal party.
The couple got ready at the Hyatt Regency in Long Island. They also had their first look, which was very sweet with the groom blown away when he saw his bride for the first time. The ceremony was held at the beautiful St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic church in Bayshore, NY. Once they said their "I Do’s," we were off to the reception, where everyone celebrated throughout the night the couple’s new journey!

The Royalton Properties Long Island New York Wedding Photography | Lara & David
The Royalton Properties Long Island New York Wedding Photography
When I first sat down with Lara and David, I knew they were my perfect couple to photograph. They are funny, have great personalities, candid, and very sweet. The way they spoke about their family and their friends really gave the sense that the people they surround themselves with are important to them. Of course, as a photographer, it became important to me to not only capture their wedding portraits, ceremony and reception at The Royalton Properties in Long Island New York, but also capture their family and friends who have come to witness their special day.
The first time I photographed Lara and David it was a very hot summer day. It was over three digits in New York City in Union Square, and yet, the groom never broke a sweat. The bride as well, and you wouldn’t know it was hot and humid outside. The two of them made it such a breeze for their engagement session, that it was equally a step in the park for their wedding. The colors, decorations, dresses/suits they chose, all was perfect to depict a very romantic day. These two Harry Potter fans also wanted to get some photos with their wands, so incorporating their personalities is always fun! I really wish these two love birds all the best. They deserve a lot of happiness, and I thank them for giving me the honor of capturing their beautiful wedding.

The Old Field Club New York Wedding Photography - Lauren + Jason
Lauren and Jason had their beautiful New York garden wedding at the beautiful Old Field Club in Long Island, by the sea. They first started their journey at the Danfords Hotel & Marina to get ready. It was a beautiful morning, and the couple got ready with their family and friends. The bride and groom decided to have a first look, and the pier by the hotel was a perfect location. With Jason in place, looking amazing in his Generation Tux in navy blue, Lauren was escorted by her sister and mother. As she reached the pier, her sister and mom stayed behind and Lauren proceeded to walk towards her groom. At this moment, Jason cannot contain his excitement. Lauren is beautiful walking towards us, and as she tapped Jason's shoulder, he turned around and let out a display of adoration seeing his bride for the first time in her beautiful BHLDN Freesia gown, veil and shoes.

These two adore one another, and they are always laughing and smiling. After the first look and bridal portraits session, we took a ride on a yellow school bus to the ceremony and reception venue. Throughout the wedding portraits, ceremony, lavender toss as they walked down the aisle, and reception, it was a moment after moments of smiles and laughter. From their first kiss as husband and wife, to their first dance to "The Head and the Heart" by Rivers and Roads. It made photographing the day very easy, and I am very delighted to have captured their wedding.
Fox Hollow Catering Westbury - Long Island New York Wedding Photography | Ingrid & Scott
Congratulations once again to a wonderful couple, who I had such a great time photographing their engagement session and their fabulous wedding Long Island New York Wedding. Their Fox Hollow Catering Westbury wedding was a fairy tale in the making. Their wedding can be described as romantic, soft, intimate, yet fun and elegant. We started the day in Mineola, NY where Ingrid was getting ready in their home. Once her hair and makeup were done, and her bridesmaids helped her in her dress, her mom and other family members were crying with joy once they saw her all dressed. Even Ingrid had tears of joy and it was such a heart warming scene. We headed to St. Aloysius Church in Great Neck, NY for a beautiful ceremony. The church is very significant to the couple and their family since it's where Scott attended with his family. In front of their family and friends, Ingrid and Scott said their vows and sealed their marriage with a kiss. The bridal party headed to Fox Hollow Catering for photography and later to celebrate their nuptials as they party the night away. It was such a great celebration that the dance floor was always filled with guests. Congratulations Ingrid and Scott! Here's to a lifetime of happiness.
Marriage is a Happily-Ever-After we definitely recommend!

Long Island New York Wedding Photography in Crest Hollow Country Club | Eliza + John Paul
LOOOVE this Long Island New York wedding photography in Crest Hollow Country Club with the gorgeous couple, Eliza and John Paul! Their wedding was such a blast from the getting ready at the Hilton Huntington Hotel, to their first look taken in the hotel's garden, their fun formal portraits at the Planting Fields Arboretum, and finally their beautiful wedding at Crest Hollow Country Club. When I edited the photos, I definitely notice that EVERYONE was laughing, smiling and having such a great time. It just showed how much Eliza and John Paul are loved and how they are surrounded by loving family and friends. Everyone had such a blast, and even their very good friend, who was their minister for the ceremony, was such a good sport when he was "gifted" with a Pope outfit John Paul seriously swore he had to wear for the wedding...as you can see from the formal portraits, he was ready to wear it for his two very good friends! All in all, my team and I could not stop laughing and smiling. Even my assistant had a whirlwind of an experience with our InstaMemory Booth being a hit with all the guests during the reception. Eliza and John Paul, may you have many years of blessings, fun and laughter and we are ecstatic to have been a part of your amazing nuptials!
