As a Hamptons wedding photographer, I look forward to traveling to the east end of Long Island to photograph weddings in The Hamptons. I actually grew up in Sag Harbor so when I pack up and travel “out east”, it always feel as if I’m going home if only for a few days. I know all the backroads, local hangouts, and (most importantly) best places for my couples to take their wedding photos. So, I thought it would be helpful to share a few of my favorite Hamptons Wedding Venues to help you plan your best day ever out in the Hamptons!
Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa
One of my all time favorite wedding venues, Gurney’s Montauk Resort and Seawater Spa has the most incredible and breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Couples can get married outside on the Forward Deck or down on Gurney’s private beach. It’s one of the east end’s luxury wedding venues and thrilled to be one of their preferred wedding vendors!
You can view several of my weddings at Gurney’s here and here.
Montauk Yacht Club
Gurney’s Star Island - formerly the Montauk Yacht Club - is one of the very first wedding venues I worked out in Montauk and started my love affair with Montauk wedding venues. Gurney’s Star Island Resort is private and faces Lake Montauk. Couples can get married on the great lawn with the super cute cottages in the background, or on the patio facing the lake. They now have a tented wedding space for their luxury wedding receptions. I love working with their friendly staff and thrilled to continue to be one of their preferred photography vendors.

Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club
This hidden gem in Bridgehampton has the best of both worlds. A gorgeous reception space and outside patio, and private beach for intimate wedding receptions. Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club offers couples the opportunity to keep their reception going with and after-hours bonfire on the beach. I love photographing elegant weddings at BTSC and honored to be listed as one of their preferred wedding vendors.

360 East at Montauk Downs
Couples are in for a treat when they get married at 360 East at Montauk Downs because the venue will secure the proper permits for their couples to get married on the cliffs along the Atlantic Ocean at Camp Hero with the iconic Montauk Lighthouse in the background. Simply stunning options to say your vows!

RGNY Vineyard
Now it’s not technically in The Hamptons, but RGNY Vineyard and Winery is located on the North Fork on Long Island. Formerly Martha Clara Vineyards, this is one of my favorite wedding venues because of its unique location. Couples are permitted to take photos inside the vineyard among the fruit and along the Parisian-inspired hedges along the perimeter. RGNY can hold wedding ceremonies outside with the winery vines in the background, host cocktails outside behind their reception barn. The staff at RGNY is delightful and I’m honored to be one of their preferred wedding vendors.
