If you are familiar with Shelter Island, you already know how special it is. How tranquil the landscape can be and it has a wonderful way of making you feel as if you are visiting a very special secluded location in New York. I grew up in Sag Harbor so I know just how special this place can be and I was so excited to be part of J + S’s special wedding day at The Rams Head Inn on Shelter Island. On a perfect Fall day with bright blue skies and a warm breeze blowing through the air, J+S shared one of their favorite places with their closest family and friends. They got ready on Shelter Island before we headed over to Sunset Beach for their first look. We traveled back to The Rams Head Inn for photos around the historic property before their outside wedding ceremony overlooking Shanty Bay. There was not a cloud in the sky! They enjoyed dinner and cocktails in the private backyard and we even got to sneak down to the beach for some incredible sunset photos. A clear tent encircled the guests before they danced the night away inside the venue. I’m delighted to share a few of my favorite images from their incredible wedding day.
A Tented Wedding in East Hampton, NY
When your childhood dream is to get married at your family’s summer home in The Hamptons, you can only imagine how magical it will turn out when the day finally arrives. For B and Z’s wedding last Fall in East Hampton, it was truly an incredible celebration and it was an honor to be part of their wedding day out east. Classic Events NYC planned and designed a perfect wedding day for the couple at the bride’s family home in East Hampton, NY. They put up a classic white sailcloth tent on the property and created an intimate ceremony setup adjacent to the pool. Cocktail hour was held in the sprawling backyard before guests were asked to enter the glowing tent under the twinkle lights strung underneath. The bride wore an elegant wedding dress from Amsale and decided to wear her mother’s heirloom, and showstopping, diamond necklace that hung down her back. B wanted to visit East Hampton’s Main Beach for their bride and groom portraits. We played on the beach before heading back to the property for their outdoor wedding ceremony to begin. The aisle was lined with shades of blue hydrangeas, the Bride’s favorite, which were also hand-painted on her custom wedding shoes. The evening festivities were magical and before the night ended, guests were invited to join the happy couple back on the beach for a bonfire and s’mores. Excited to share a few of my favorite images including some of favorite my drone photographs from their wedding day. The view from above was breathtaking!

Sebonack Golf Club Wedding Photos in The Hamptons
The one thing about weddings that is never guaranteed is the weather, and how you decide to handle it, will truly make or break your wedding day. Last Fall, Elizabeth and Danny’s wedding at Sebonack Golf Course was a beautiful celebration despite the on and off again rainy weather throughout the day. However, the couple didn’t let it damper their celebration - the party must go on! Sag Harbor Florist created an incredible floral design with pops of blue, whites, and greens throughout their entire wedding day. Delicate bouquets, to sprawling florals decorated the reception tables. Their wedding planner, Kim from The Wedding Sitter, made sure the couple moved seamlessly from space to space and kept the day stress-free! Liz and Danny said their vows inside Sebonack before moving into the clear top tent that was covered with dazzling twinkle lights creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Atomic Funk Project rocked the night away and no one was sitting down once the music got started! It was a magical day and so honored to have been able to be part of it. Excited to share a few photos that share the joy, love, and laughter between Liz and Danny and everyone who loves them so much.

Central Park Cherry Blossom Engagement Photos
Nothing makes me happier than photographing my couples who are completely and utterly in love with one another. Emily and Peter and the kindest couple and I’m overjoyed to be part of their engagement and wedding day. We had the best day in New York City’s Central Park for their sunrise engagement session under the pink Cherry Blossoms. You could have asked for a better Spring morning if you tried. They danced, laughed, and drank champagne before we headed down to the west village to complete our session. I cannot wait to for their wedding at Canoe Inn and Cottages in Hampton Bays and work along side their wedding planners Effortless Events. It’s going to be a wonderful celebration!
