As much as you try to prepare, sometimes the weather gets the best of you but it’s how you deal with it on your wedding day that truly shows who you are as a couple. It called for non-stop rain on the day of G+S’s wedding at the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club. We made plans to make the best of a wet situation. We did their first look inside the bride’s parents’ home, which turned out gorgeous, and by the time the ceremony at Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church, the rain let up and we were able to take a few bridal party photos outside and on the beach at the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club. With the help of planning and wedding coordination from The Wedding Sitter, Kim helped keep the couple happy and the day moving effortlessly as we traveled from venue to venue. Despite the rain, it was a magical wedding day filled with so much love and happiness, you would never know it was a soggy day in the Hamptons. I’m excited to share a few of my favorite images from their romantic wedding day. Enjoy!
The Bowery Hotel Wedding Photos in New York City
Located in the heart of New York City, The Bowery Hotel is one of the chicest wedding venues in all of the city. With its beautifully designed suites, private patios, cozy reception, and wall-to-ceiling windows, B+C knew this was the perfect place to host their black and white modern-inspired black tie winter wedding. The bride looked amazing in her Louvienne wedding dress and her glam team brought her modern-day elegance vision to life. Think if Audrey Hepburn was a blonde! The couple exchanged their first look in the warmth of their private suite and terrace before we walked around The Bowery for a few portraits. The couple rented a vintage yellow taxi cab to take them to and from the ceremony at the Church of St. Francis Xavier, and it was the perfect backdrop on a chilly winter day. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour at the bar and outside patio under the heat lamps before moving into the dining area for an elegant plated dinner. The band, 45 Riots, tore the dance floor from the moment they started to the moment the last song was announced. The couple danced, sang, and celebrated with their closest family and friends and it was an honor to be there with them documenting it all. Here are just a few of my favorite photos from their incredible wedding day. Enjoy!
New York Wedding Photographer - Gurney's Montauk
When you decide to host your wedding weekend at the end of the world (a.k.a. Montauk) you take a bit of a gamble with the weather. You hope for a perfect bluebird day with bright skies and lots of sun, and even if it does decide to rain, you embrace it and make incredible memories. That's what happened with Ashley and Brandon’s wedding at Gurney’s Montauk Seawater and Spa. The day called for rain, held off, and then right as the Bride was about to walk down the aisle, it started to rain. Guest were immediately covered with blue and clear umbrellas and the wedding party embraced the rain as they walked down the aisle on the open-air spa deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It rained for the entire ceremony and once they were pronounced husband and wife, it stopped and the entire wedding party cheered. The day was effortlessly coordinated by Lovely Indeed Events and the Spa Deck Tented reception was a mixture of blue and white linens, rattan accents, and lots and lots of florals. The hanging floral arrangement above the white dance floor was the centerpiece of the room. And can we talk about a dance party? The 45 Riots Band had everyone on their feet the entire wedding reception and took guests to the turtle room for the after-party. One of the best parts of being a New York Wedding Photographer is being able to document the lives of your couples who in turn become family. Ashley and Brandon are two of the kindest, sweetest, and most thoughtful couples I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I also captured her sister’s wedding a few years prior which made it even more special. It was an incredible wedding at Gurney’s Montauk Seawater Resort and Spa and I’m so excited to share some of my favorite images from their 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.
