Tara and Adam had a gorgeous Summer wedding at Land’s End. Their mid August wedding on the beach was a gorgeous affair and we loved capturing it for them! Read what Tara had said when we asked her to recount her day: “So there were a lot of things to make the day extra special! I think one of my favorite parts of the day was the moment our photographer, Chris, set up for us to see each other for pictures. That initial moment leading up, knowing that I can see him and the anticipation of him waiting to see me was magical. It was one of the only moments that we had just to ourselves. Seeing Adam standing there calmed me down and made the whole day a lot more real. Another special part of the day was that my sister, who is a culinary student, made the cake. When we went into the room to view it and take the ‘room shots’ we suddenly saw the two and a half foot tall monster of a cake. It was almost too beautiful to eat with the hand made seashells cascading down. When we did get to eat it, it was delicious. It was super special to have my sister so involved this way. One of the best things I did was take every moment at a time and was never too serious that day. Whatever happens, happens (including my veil flying off with a great saving catch by my husband!!) and just being able to laugh at everything, and smile with everyone was amazing. I never wanted to have my makeup done, but last minute it was decided that it would be important to get it done. My makeup artist was amazing, and she listened to me (especially when I refused to put any foundation on my face). Her name is Judy (516) 367-1300 and it was nice to know I was being listened to. The same about my hair: I was so afraid that under the chuppa, Adam would turn to me and not recognize me, so it was very important to look like myself. I was able to still have my beach hair, but in a more sophisticated way – many thanks to Denise (516) 410-3153. By having these people listen to me I was able to feel more like myself and more comfortable at the wedding. Arcadia was the most amazing band!!! Being the first wedding of most of my friends, I had to set the bar. I already know a few weddings that they booked after my friends heard this band at mine! They even learned a song just for me and Adam (311 Love Song) which they learned last minute and it was a great surprise to us. We also loved Lovin’ Oven’s florist Keith. He was so eager to work with us, especially when I expressed I hate flowers and love organic plants. Whats the point of cutting down beautiful plants for just a day? Keith worked wonders coming up with such organic looking centerpieces and so many textures in my bouquet. One thing that our guests really enjoyed was having the party at Land’s End; the cocktail hour was outdoor and we had a steel drummer there as well. Our guests felt like it was a destination wedding so close to home – Land’s End really was able to give us the wedding of our dreams!” Congratulations again Tara and Adam!
