Fresh Meadow Country Club Wedding Photos – Jennifer and Daniel

Jennifer and Daniel’s Long Island wedding at Fresh Meadow Country Club took place on a gorgeous Spring afternoon at the end of April. After spending the morning getting ready, Jennifer and Daniel got their first look at each other outside in the beautiful late afternoon sunshine. We wandered the grounds of the country club giving these two time to enjoy being together as we captured those soft, quiet moments before the rush of guests and congratulations washed over them that evening. A gorgeous day and a fabulous party helped make this an amazing start for Daniel and Jennifer as husband and wife. Congratulations again you two!

Glen Cove Mansion Wedding Photos – Jennifer and Keith

Aside from being one of Long Island’s most used venues for weddings, Glen Cove Mansion is just down the road from our studio and it seems we are there shooting nearly every other weekend! So when Jennifer and Keith said they were getting married there, we new right away they would have an amazing wedding and that we’d have a fantastic time photographing it for them. Jennifer and Keith loved Glen Cove Mansion and how the estate harkened back to the height of Long Island’s North Shore golden age, when large estates and mansions gave the area its nickname, The Gold Coast. Our bride and groom had a fantastic day with friends and family, music, laughter, and best of all photos and memories that will last well into their own golden age. Congratulations again Jennifer and Keith!

An Angel Orensanz Wedding – Jackie & Jourdan

Jackie and Jourdan had their wedding at the opulent Angel Orensanz Foundation in New York City, and they didn’t stop at booking a spectacular venue– they commissioned Melanie Arden of Melarosa to bring Angel Orensanz to life!  Our photographers captured the striking, elegant portraits for which Brett Matthews has become very well-known, and we did so everywhere.  The results?  You’d have to see them to believe them.  Congratulations, Jackie & Jourdan!

Temple Emanu-el Closter Wedding Photos – Amy and Jason

Amy and Jason’s gorgeous New Jersey wedding took place at the tail end of March. After a morning of getting ready at Trump SoHo in NYC they headed across the Hudson to Temple Emanu-el Closter in Northern New Jersey for the ceremony and reception. What a gorgeous temple with an immaculate stained glass dome at the heart of the room! Amy and Jason said they loved every aspect of their wedding, especially being surrounded by close family and friends as they had the times of their lives. They honeymooned in Hawaii, and we can’t wait for them to come back to the studio to entertain us with stories of adventure as they put together their gorgeous album. Congratulations again you two!

A Plaza Hotel Wedding – Georgina & James

Georgina & James’s wedding reception at the opulent Plaza Hotel was on a beautiful Spring day that provided a prime opportunity for our team to capture elegant portraits of the couple.  The Plaza, which is the only hotel in New York that is on the Register of Historic Landmarks, is simply ideal for a fantastic event like this: situated in the heart of New York City on Fifth Avenue, its breathtaking Grand Ballroom is a true sight to behold.  What helped is that David Beahm Designs did masterful work with the setting, putting together wonderful decorations that really brought the Plaza to life.  To top it all off, check out those golf clubs below– that’s actually the groom’s cake, designed by the incomparable Ron Ben-Israel.

When people finally filed in to partake in the celebration, Valerie Romanoff of Starlight Orchestras totally rocked the house!  It was a joy working with Emily Reifel of CPS Events, who could not have been more helpful or accommodating.  And finally, Christine Paul was flawless in planning and executing this event to the finest detail: everything was perfect, and she did an incredible job putting it all together.  Congratulations again to Georgina and James!
