Joyful Ashford Estate Wedding

The sunny July skies were the perfect backdrop to Brianna and Phillip’s gorgeous Ashford Estate wedding! This sweet couple exchanged vows in a beautiful open air chapel and enjoyed their first minutes as a married couple exploring the picturesque gardens of the estate. The day was filled with tears of joy and so many memorable moments! I loved being a part of Brianna and Phillip’s wedding day and am so excited to share some of my favorite photos!

Getting Ready Photos

Every detail of Brianna and Phillip’s wedding was so thoughtfully curated. The cream and blush flowers peeked out of cascading greenery designed by Twisted Willow Flowers. Brianna’s bridesmaids wore the loveliest floral dresses by Show Me Your Mumu and all exploded in joy when Brianna walked out onto the balcony in her wedding gown. Meanwhile, Phillip and his groomsmen toasted to the special day, all dashing in cobalt blue suits. After a morning full of anticipation, the couple made their way to the lovely gardens for their first look!

Bride’s First Look With Father

Before joining Phillip for their wedding day first look, Brianna shared a special first look with her father. It was such a beautiful and emotional moment! Brianna and Phillip’s families were so happy for this wonderful couple!

Brianna and Phillip shared the sweetest wedding first look on the gorgeous tree lined path at the Ashford Estate. Neither of them could stop smiling as they soaked in their wedding day joy! I loved that Brianna and Phillip got this special time to themselves before their wedding ceremony!

Ashford Estate Wedding Portraits

After their first look, Brianna and Phillip walked along the shady path together while I captured more wedding day portraits. They were soon joined by a very special furry friend: their cute dog Graham! Graham looked adorable with his greenery garland and was so good at posing for photos. Brianna and Phillip joined their bridal party for some fun group shots before making their way to their Ashford Estate wedding ceremony!

Emotional Ashford Estate Wedding Ceremony

The Ashford Estate’s open air chapel was the perfect spot for this beautiful ceremony. Gorgeous floral chandeliers and garlands covered the room. Creamy white petals were scattered along the aisle leading to a rustic brick fireplace adorned with glowing candles, lanterns, and more dreamy flowers.
One of my favorite moments had to be when Brianna was getting ready to walk down the aisle. Phillip couldn’t help but wipe away many tears at the anticipation of seeing his beautiful bride. As soon as the music started playing for Brianna’s walk with her father, Phillip and his sisters started crying tears of joy. Almost all of the guests were wiping tears as Brianna joined Phillip. It was such a beautifully emotional moment followed by a heartfelt ceremony.

Fun-Filled Ashford Estate Wedding Reception

Brianna and Phillip’s Ashford Estate wedding reception was absolutely stunning! The soaring ceilings and flowing white linens made the room so light and airy. More incredible florals covered the tables and even adorned the wedding cake! Brianna and Phillip entered the room to excited cheers and shared the sweetest first dance. Phillip’s dance with his two sisters and Brianna’s dance with her father were both filled with emotion, happy tears, and a deep rooted joy. In the midst of the celebrations, Brianna and Phillip snuck away to enjoy the soft blues of the dusk sky. They shared a kiss before joining hands and returning to their celebration to dance the night away with their family and friends!

Private estate Hamptons wedding

Happily Ever After in The Hamptons

Bright sunshine, ocean breezes, and gorgeous gardens made for the perfect wedding day for Sarah and Jonathan! This sweet couple tied the knot at Sarah’s great grandfather’s iconic estate nestled in beautiful Southhampton. They were excited to be the first ones married on the property, affectionately named “Kinnsport” by Sarah’s great grandfather Harry Kinn. This joyous celebration was filled with family, friends, and so many sweet moments!

Getting Ready for Beautiful Hamptons Wedding

Sarah was all smiles on the morning of her beautiful Hamptons estate wedding! I loved seeing Sarah and her bridesmaids share laughter and excitement as they got ready together. The bridesmaids looked beautiful in blue: each bridesmaid picked a navy gown that she loved to show off her personality! Sarah’s experience in catering and floral design helped her plan every beautiful detail of the day! Sarah worked very closely on the floral designs with Showplace Floral & Event Design. Each bloom brought her incredible vision to life!

After slipping into her stunning Michelle Roth wedding dress, Sarah shared the sweetest first look with her father. Down the road, Jonathan joined his groomsmen for a toast before making his way to the beach to see his beautiful bride for the first time!

First Look on the Beach

Sarah and Jonathan had a beautiful first look at Coopers Beach. I loved having the chance to capture such an intimate moment. The two couldn’t stop smiling and Jonathan was in absolute awe of how beautiful Sarah was. They shared kisses and laughs as they basked in the Southhampton sun on this gorgeous September wedding day.

Hamptons Wedding Portraits on the Beach

After sharing the sweetest first look, Sarah and Jonathan joined hands and soaked in their wedding day excitement together. They posed for the most gorgeous Hamptons beach wedding photos! It was such a joy to capture these special moments that Sarah and Jonathan will look back on for years to come! Sarah and Jonathan also captured the most adorable wedding photos with their dog, Charlie! Charlie served as their “ring bear” and he was the cuddliest little pup! They were soon joined by their bridal party and families for group photos and everyone was buzzing with the excitement of the day. Finally, Sarah and Jonathan shared a few more moments alone on the beach before making their way to their wedding ceremony!

Private Estate Wedding Ceremony

The path leading to Sarah and Jonathan’s Hamptons wedding ceremony was filled with photos of the couple and their families. It was so special to see these legacies of love that led to Sarah and Jonathan joining their families together. Garden-inspired florals covered the arch overlooking the water as guests gathered. As Sarah made her way down the aisle with her father, Jonathan placed his hand on his heart in complete adoration of his beautiful bride. The ceremony was filled with so much love and the sweetest vows. As Sarah and Jonathan shared their first kiss as husband and wife, their friends and family broke out into joyous celebration!

Gorgeous Hamptons Wedding Reception

Every detail of Sarah and Jonathan’s private Hamptons estate wedding was so gorgeous! From the stunning florals to the thoughtful touches, their friends and family truly felt welcome at this iconic Southhampton estate. This beautiful home has been in Sarah’s family for four generations and this was the first wedding on the property! As Sarah shared, “We know my grandparents and great-grandparents would have been SO happy that a family wedding was taking place at Kinnsport. They loved a good party!”

 

Sunset Wedding Photos

Before joining their friends and family at their romantic reception, Sarah and Jonathan took some time alone to capture the prettiest sunset wedding photos. It was so special for the two to have time together to soak in their newlywed bliss! Neither Sarah nor Jonathan could stop smiling, they were so excited to finally be husband and wife!

Outdoor Wedding Reception at Private Hamptons Estate

Sarah and Jonathan danced the night away in an open air tent while the sun set behind them. Their family and friends joined in the celebrations and everyone had such a great time! The two snuck away for a couple backlit wedding portraits surrounded by twinkling lights and dark twilight skies. When they rejoined their guests, everyone shared in the a fun tradition from Jonathan’s hometown! The Pittsburgh cookie table is a cherished experience. Family and friends prepare homemade cookies to be served at the wedding. Each cookie is truly made with love and this was the perfect end to such an amazing day!  Thank you again Sarah and Jonathan for including me in your beautiful wedding celebration.  It was such a joy to be a part of it!

Yale Club wedding with bride and groom in Central Park wedding photo at winter wedding in NYC captured by best luxury NYC wedding photographer Amy Rizzuto Photography

Winter Yale Club Wedding

Alejandra and Michael were married this year on Leap Day! Their winter Yale Club wedding was an amazing celebration of their love for one another and their families and friends. Every moment was filled with excitement, from Alejandra’s walk down the aisle at the church, to the mariachi band that made an appearance at the end of the evening. Alejandra and Michael made so many happy memories on their special day, and I am thrilled to share some of my favorites!

Getting Ready at The Roosevelt Hotel

Alejandra and her bridesmaids spent the morning together at The Roosevelt Hotel – one of my favorite NYC getting ready locations for bridal parties! Laughter and joy filled the suite as the girls gathered to toast Alejandra on her wedding day! Meanwhile, Michael spent the beginning of their wedding day with his groomsmen, eagerly anticipating the moment he would finally see his beautiful bride!

All the details of Alejandra and Michael’s wedding day were so beautiful. I loved the sweet gifts Alejandra gave her bridesmaids: pretty pajama sets, floral monogrammed mugs, and sentimental bracelets. After a fun morning, Alejandra slipped on her stunning winter wedding dress by Wedding Atelier and her Jimmy Choo wedding shoes and made her way to the church.

Beautiful NYC Church Wedding Ceremony

The Church of the Blessed Sacrament is one of the most beautiful churches in New York City, and such a special place for Alejandra and Michael to get married. Michael couldn’t stop smiling as he waited at the end of the aisle! Behind the doors, Alejandra excitedly joined hands with her mom before entering the church. Michael’s eyes were filled with so much love for Alejandra as she walked down the aisle. I love that Alejandra and Michael incorporated two beautiful hispanic traditions into their wedding mass! The Exchange of the Arras Coins signified the pledge between Alejandra and Michael through the exchange of thirteen gold coins. The Placement of the Lazzo symbolized eternity and their everlasting union. Both moments were so special! After being pronounced husband and wife, this sweet couple shared the most joyful kiss!

Sweet Winter Wedding Photos in Central Park

After their wedding ceremony, Alejandra and Michael made their way to Central Park. We only spent about 10 minutes capturing winter wedding photos in this iconic NYC spot, but it was so sweet for them to have a little time alone to soak in being married! I loved capturing their joy and laughter during this romantic rendezvous and seeing Alejandra and Michael share this sweet excited time as newlywed! bride and groom in central park before yale club wedding bride and groom posing for wedding photo by bow bridge bride and groom in central park in winter bride and groom kiss in central park after nyc winter wedding joyful bride and groom in central park joyful central park wedding photo black and white bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc black and white nyc wedding photo bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc bride and groom in central park during winter wedding in nyc

After posing for some beautiful winter wedding photos in Central Park, Alejandra and Michael made their way to the iconic Grand Central Terminal. Despite the hustle and bustle around them, Alejandra and Michael only had eyes for each other! They joined their wedding party for some group portraits before posing alone for gorgeous Grand Central wedding photos.

Stunning Yale Club Wedding Reception

The Yale Club of New York City was an incredible location for Alejandra and Michael’s wedding reception. Alejandra personally selected the menus and placecards and the floral design perfectly matched the breathtaking bouquets by ZAK Events. The white lace linens and golden candles made the reception so dreamy and romantic!

Before joining their family and friends for their Yale Club wedding reception, Alejandra and Michael stole away for some time alone. They laughed and posed for photos on the grand staircase before cuddling up in the library sitting room. I love that they got to spend these little moments together throughout their wedding day, just the two of them!

Yale Club Wedding Celebration

Alejandra and Michael entered their Yale Club wedding reception to cheers and applause from their excited guests. The two had an absolute blast on the dance floor during their first dance and soon all their family and friends were joining them to dance the night away! All of the food was unreal, but my favorite was the Mexican candy bar! Alejandra and her mother put together an incredible display of the couple’s favorite candies and it was such a fun touch! During dinner, an amazing Mariachi band serenaded Alejandra, Michael, and their guests and set the mood for a night full of celebration!

Joy-Filled Red Maple Vineyard Wedding

Stunning scenery, sweet details, and a celebratory parade: Rachel and Jeremy’s Red Maple Vineyard wedding was such a joy! Every moment of this special day was filled with love and excitement! After a tear-filled first look under a gorgeous oak tree, Rachel and Jeremy exchanged personal vows with stunning views of the Hudson Valley in front of all of their family and friends. A musical parade led everyone to a scenic cocktail hour and then Rachel and Jeremy danced the night away at their fun-filled reception! I’m so happy to be sharing some of my favorite moments from their joyful wedding day!

 

Fun Getting Ready Photos

Rachel had so much fun getting ready with her girls on the morning of her wedding! After popping a bottle of champagne, the bridesmaids gathered around Rachel for the prettiest photos! Rachel and her mom shared some sweet moments together before she got dressed in her stunning Karen Willis Holmes gown. I loved all the details of Rachel and Jeremy’s wedding day! The greenery-filled bouquets perfectly accented the white, gold, and green invitation suite. Lavender & Leaf added fun pops of color in the florals with bright red and soft blush blooms!

Groom Getting Ready Photos

While Rachel got ready with her bridesmaids and her mom, Jeremy was joined by his groomsmen. I loved the little details and accessories Jeremy chose, especially the personalized cufflinks! Before walking to the first look location, Jeremy shared a sweet embrace with his mom.

Emotional First Look

After spending the morning getting ready apart, Rachel and Jeremy finally joined together for the sweetest first look under a beautiful oak tree. The moment Jeremy saw Rachel, he broke out into the biggest smile and his eyes filled with happy tears. I am so glad I got to capture these special moments! After their first look, Rachel and Jeremy ventured over to the gorgeous swing hanging from the same tree.

Gorgeous Red Maple Vineyard Wedding Photos

Rachel and Jeremy joined hands and walked along the beautiful grounds of Red Maple Vineyard. The wine harvested in these vineyards was the wine they drank at their wedding! It was such a joy to photograph Rachel and Jeremy on their wedding day, especially after getting to know them during their dreamy Newport engagement session the previous summer!

Beautiful Ketubah Signing

Before their Red Maple Vineyard wedding ceremony, Rachel and Jeremy joined their rabbi and their closest family and friends for an intimate ketubah signing under a sprawling oak tree. The signing of their marriage contract was such a special moment for Rachel and Jeremy as they began their lives as husband and wife.

Breathtaking views were the perfect backdrop to Rachel and Jeremy’s Red Maple Vineyard wedding ceremony. They said their vows on a beautiful hill overlooking the lush greenery of the vineyard and the sweeping landscape of the Hudson Valley. Their ceremony was filled with so much love!. After Jeremy broke the glass, the two shared their first kiss as a married couple as cheers rang out across the hillside!

Celebratory Parade through the Vineyard

One of my favorite parts of Rachel and Jeremy’s wedding day was the celebratory parade after their beautiful ceremony! The Hudson Horns band led Rachel and Jeremy and their entire wedding down the hill from their ceremony and into their cocktail hour!  It was such a joyous way to kick off married life together and I loved the parade of family and friends celebrating Rachel and Jeremy right after they said “I do”.

Intimate Cocktail Hour

The cocktail hour at Rachel and Jeremy’s winery wedding was stunning! Guests gathered AT THIS PLACE and enjoyed drinks, small bites, and lawn games while taking in the scenic Hudson Valley views. After enjoying the warm early autumn air and capturing family photos, Rachel and Jeremy joined their family and friends for their fun-filled wedding reception!

Stunning Red Maple Vineyard Wedding

Rachel and Jeremy’s wedding reception was so incredibly gorgeous! I loved the tree as the centerpiece of the room! It brought the beautiful vineyard grounds inside. The tables were draped in soft white linens and accented with gorgeous greenery by Lavender & Leaf. Rachel and Jeremy chose to accent the whites, woods, and greenery of their reception with the prettiest red and blush blossoms. This sweet couple shared a fun first dance to the applause of their guests! One of my favorite moments was seeing Rachel and Jeremy each share multiple dances with their family members! Rachel danced with her father and her mother and Jeremy shared a dance with his mom and his grandmother. These were such special moments!

Following an amazing reception with non-stop dancing, Rachel and Jeremy joined their guests for an after-party! Family and friends enjoyed being cozy by the fire and delicious s’mores! Rachel and Jeremy shared a few sweet moments together, taking in the magic of their wedding day and all the love surrounding them.
