The weather called for rain all day but it quickly changed into perfect blue-grey skies which gave us the perfect backdrop for Emily and Peter’s wedding at Canoe Place Inn and Cottages in Hampton Bays, NY. The modern, fun, and beachy aesthetic of Canoe Place Inn was the perfect location to celebrate their marriage. The couple got engaged at Cooper’s Beach which is about 15 minutes from the wedding venue so it was really meaningful for them to revisit the beach for their wedding photos. Emily looked radiant in her Sareh Nouri wedding dress with applique white flowers and a cascading veil with a floral border. In honoring their Greek Orthodox traditions, they had their ceremony at the Dormition of the Virgin Mary located in Southampton, NY. I love the exchanging of the wedding crowns, walking around the altar, and declaring your love for your faith and spouse in such a beautiful church. Emily and Peter chose a palette of blue, whites, and hints of pink for their wedding decor, and Effortless Events, who’s based in Chicago, brought their vision to life at Canoe Place Inn and Cottages. Once the party officially kicked off, I don’t think anyone sat down at their seats till the party was over. One of the most fun parts of the evening was dancing the traditional money dance where everyone dances in a circle and throws money at the newlyweds to wish them luck. It was so much fun and I’m so honored to be part of their incredible wedding weekend. Here are a few of my favorite images from their beautiful wedding day!

It’s true what they say “when you know, you know” and that is clearly the case between Jillian and Mike. From our first chat over the phone to their beach engagement session in Montauk, I knew that this kind and loving couple was simply meant for each other. They are each other’s perfect match! For their wedding, the couple decided to hold their celebration on the groom’s family’s private estate tucked away on Lake Montauk in the Hamptons. Elite Party & Tent Rental installed a stunning white sailcloth tent on the sprawling property to host their wedding reception. When guests arrived they were treated to cocktails on the lawn before witnessing the couple exchange their vows during their outside ceremony. Cocktail hour was held behind the home overlooking the water but it often overflowed along the edges of the estate. Under the blue waving flags of the sailcloth tent, Jillian and Mike danced their first dance as husband and wife under the bistro string lights. It was truly a perfect day for an incredible couple and I’m so honored I was there to capture it all for them.
