The Inn at Longshore Wedding

Kimmi and Tim’s The Inn at Longshore wedding was truly such a wonderful day! This gorgeous winter wedding in Connecticut was filled with love, laughter, and the perfect pastel sunset.

Getting Ready for Charming Connecticut Wedding

Love and joy were in the air as Kimmi got ready for her The Inn at Longshore wedding! Surrounded by her mom, sister, and bridesmaids, Kimmi enjoyed a fun morning full of anticipation. I love the romantically modern details Kimmi and Tim chose for their wedding day! The gold and grey details were gorgeous and Kimmi’s cream and pink bouquet was overflowing with the prettiest petals! Kimmi’s mom and sister helped her into her beautiful Watters wedding gown before Kimmi shared a sweet first look with her dad!

Kimmi’s first look with her dad was one of my favorite parts of the day! I love that her sister and mom were their for such a sweet moment. The room was filled with love and joy as the family came together to embrace Kimmi.

Kimmi and Tim’s first look was beautiful and so emotional by the water. Tim’s entire face lit up when he saw Kimmi! The Inn at Longshore grounds were incredibly picturesque and the winter landscape was the perfect backdrop. I love this intimate time Kimmi and Tim got to have before their ceremony!

After the sweetest first look, Kimmi and Tim joined hands and explored the gorgeous grounds of this Connecticut wedding venue. They found a beautiful forest spot surrounded by towering evergreen trees which made for lovely winter wedding photos. After capturing some wedding portraits, Kimmi and Tim joined their wedding part for group photos. I loved the mismatched grey, blue, and lavender bridesmaids gowns! Before their ceremony, Kimmi and Tim snuck away for one more quiet moment together.

Sweet Ceremony at The Inn at Longshore

The Inn at Longshore ceremony space was so gorgeous! The room was bathed in warm light as the ceremony began, and by the time Kimmi and Tim said “I do”, the sunset was dancing through the huge picture window behind them. Kimmi’s mom and dad walked her down the aisle and Tim couldn’t keep his eyes off of her. This sweet couple shared heartfelt vows and the whole crowd broke out into cheers when they shared their first kiss as husband and wife!

Sunset Wedding Portraits

The night portraits at sunset out by the water provided an intimate moment after the ceremony for the couple to be alone, and made for the most stunning photographs. The sky was painted beautifully with pinks, blues, and purples and Kimmi and Tim couldn’t stop smiling. The newlyweds shared some sweet moments before joining hands and returning to their The Inn at Longshore wedding.

The Inn at Longshore Wedding Reception

Kimmi and Tim’s Inn at Longshore reception was filled with pretty lights, pink and white blooms, and special details. They took such care in finding elements that told their love story! For instance, Tim is obsessed with chicken parm and they had a whole chicken parm station at their cocktail hour!

After a first dance full of laughs and sweet moments, Kimmi surprised Tim with a groom’s cake topper featuring replicas of beer from their favorite neighborhood brewery! Tim was so excited and I loved seeing his reaction!

Kimmi and Tim’s guests celebrated the night away. Their friends and family had such a relaxed vibe and you could tell everyone was really having a good time!

Quality printing, amazing flash drives, and great service, these are just a few of the things I love about USB Memory Direct!  USB Memory Direct offers custom flash drives with a lifetime warranty.  While I deliver all of my wedding and engagement collections through an easy to share online gallery, I always recommend having my couples back up their complete collection of photographs on an external drive, and these are a beautiful option.  I love the custom branding, pine finish, and clean and professional look of the engraving.  

If you are a wedding or portrait photographer looking for a beautifully branded tangible delivery option, I highly recommend checking out these custom USB drives.  USB Memory Direct’s customer service is excellent, and I received my pine tower custom flash drives quickly.  You can choose from storage options from 4gb, all the way up to 128gb drives.  One of my favorite options USB Memory Direct offers is the ability to have your custom USB drives pre-loaded with a file of your choice.  This could be great for including directions for downloading and storing photos long-term, or for including a print release!  

Thank you so much USB Memory Direct for being a wonderful partner and providing such a beautiful branded option for my business!  It is a joy to work with you!

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!

Ashford Estate wedding venue in NJ

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!

Sweetest First Look

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.

After the ceremony, Brianna and Phillip gathered all of their friends and family to capture a fun group photo! It was such a joy to see all of their loved ones in one photo. As their guests headed to a fun summer indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, Brianna and Phillip snuck away for some more Ashford Estate wedding photos. I love they both traded in their formal footwear for more comfortable kicks before making their way to the dance floor!

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.

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.

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!
