Nautical Inspired Wedding at Bridgeview Yacht Club

May 4, 2016 Jaine Kershner

Celebrating your wedding day is truly a joyous and wonderful affair. I absolutely love when a couple decides to include family traditions into their wedding day. Maura and Steve were married on a bright and beautiful day in October at the same church where Maura's parents were married over 37 years ago. How amazing is that?! The bride wore an elegant wedding dress by Rosa Clara along with her mother's heirloom wedding veil and her grandmother's pearl necklace. The pretty palette of navy blue and pink, along with classic nautical stripes, was felt throughout their entire wedding. Sincerely, Jackie created one of the prettiest wedding suites and I had too much fun styling their entire wedding invitations!

Each of Maura's lovely bridesmaids wore a beautiful dresses by Alfred Sung and carried a bright bouquets by the amazing Violet and Verde. Maura's bouquet was absolutely stunning and we all wanted to take it home with us! During their first look, Steve couldn't contain his excitement because once he saw Maura, he was smiling from ear to ear! The groom and groomsmen wore grey suits and green striped bow-tie's. After the church ceremony, they stepped out onto the steps and received a joyous cheer and adorable bubble exit. The reception was held at the Bridgeview Yacht Club which is where several of the Bride's family members also celebrated their special day.

Guests had fun in the super cute photo booth by Sweet Booths enjoyed donuts before they left for the night. I knew from the very first time I spoke with Maura, that I wanted to be part of their wedding day. She is so warm, genuine and has such an eye for style. Thank you for allowing me to part of your special day and wishing you many years of love and happiness! Congratulations newlyweds!! xo

East Hampton Point Wedding Photos

April 13, 2016 Jaine Kershner

Overlooking the waterfront, among their closest family and friends, Millie and Brenden were married on the balcony at East Hampton Point. The couple grew up in the Hamptons and their love of the beach was a big inspiration for their gorgeous wedding day. The Groom's Uncle handmade the driftwood arbor filled with flowers creating the perfect ceremony backdrop. The same Judge that married Brenden's parents, also officiated their wedding which was so special to the happy couple. Millie looked radiant in her Maggie Sottero wedding dress and jewel encrusted belt. She also wore a vintage brooch on her bouquet that her Mother had worn on her wedding dress for her something blue. And how amazing are her custom monogramed Jack Rogers sandals? LOVE!

Millie carefully planned every detail to personalize their day including a custom laurel wreath monogram for their invitations and a vintage map of East Hampton for the envelope liner. Cascading green wreaths covered the reception tables topped with mercury glass votives candles and pops of blush flowers to add a soft romantic feel. Guests enjoyed two signature cocktails, Little Plains Beach, the location where Brenden proposed, and Navy Beach, one of their favorite spots in Montauk throughout the reception. I'm so delighted to share a few of my favorite images from their wedding day and honored to be apart of such a wonderful wedding. Congratulations Newlyweds!! xo

NYC Central Park Engagement Photos

March 30, 2016 Jaine Kershner

Is there anything more romantic than walking through Central Park with your soon-to-be husband around sunset? I didn't think so! Alice and Mike's Fall Engagement Session in the park is absolutely picture perfect. We met along the 86th street entrance and made our way into the park's Great Lawn just in time for the golden light to sweep across the grass. I'm so excited to share a few of my favorite photos from their classic new york city engagement session and can't wait for their wedding later this year. Enjoy! xo

The White Elephant Hotel Nantucket Wedding Photos

March 23, 2016 Jaine Kershner

Their classic and elegant, nautical themed wedding was inspired by the happy couple's love of one of the most beautiful islands in the north east, Nantucket. Meg and Charles spend their summers the island and it was the only place they wanted to celebrate their marriage. The weather leading up to the festivities was dismal as Hurricane Joaquin and a Nor'easter were both heading up the coast. The ferries were beginning to get cancelled the day before, flights were delayed and figuring out how to get to the island we becoming a real challenge for guests and vendors.

However, on Saturday morning, the rain stopped, a little sun peeked through the clouds and the day went on with only minor glitches. Meg wore a gorgeous lace wedding dress by Pronovias and her mother's pearl bracelet. Charles and the groomsmen wore ties from Vineyard Vines and fun mix of unexpected colored socks. They were married at the lovely Our Lady of Isle Church in town and celebrated at the gorgeous White Elephant Hotel along the water. We visited the Cru restaurant on the wharf and took over the back room for their bridal party portraits since we couldn't photograph them outside. Being able to create several pairings in a small space is key to making their photos look amazing and every single person in their bridal party was amazing!

As we walked with the Bride and Groom through town, we stopped at the famous Compass Rose before I found the cutest little nook with hanging string lights and ivy along the walls. It felt like italy in Nantucket. Meg's sister and Charles' brother gave memorable speeches that had everyone, especially the bride and groom, shuffling between laughter and tears. It was one of the most touching ceremonies and celebrations I was able to photograph. Thank you so much for allowing me to document your wonderful wedding day!
