Westbury Manor Wedding Photos – Angela and Russell

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: January 17, 2012

Angela and Russell’s Long Island wedding at Westbury Manor was beautiful. We started the day at Old Westbury Gardens where the overcast skies, and granite and marble stone work lent it self beautifully to stately, old world style portraits of our bride and groom together. After the gardens we headed to Westbury Manor where family and friends were gathering for the ceremony. Afterwards it was time to celebrate the night away! We had a fantastic time capturing their day for them and can’t wait to see them in the studio again. Congratulations again Angela and Russell!

We met up with Rita and Daniel on their wedding day around noon for some getting ready photos before heading to St Mary’s church in Manhasset for their ceremony. Afterwards we headed over to Old Westbury Gardens for portraits of our newly minted husband and wife together. We wandered the gardens making beautiful photos of the two of them until it was time to rejoin family and friends at Leonard’s in Great Neck for their party. We are so looking forward to showing Rita and Daniel the rest of their gorgeous photos when they stop back into the studio. Congratulations again Rita and Daniel!

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: August 11, 2011

Lauren and Zach’s Long Island wedding was on a gorgeous afternoon at the end of May. We went to Old Westbury Gardens – which is one of our favorite spots – for some portraits of the two of them together. The late afternoon light brought out the very best of the garden as we roamed with Lauren and Zach looking for the best places to capture our bride and groom. Then it was time to head to East Meadow Jewish Center for their ceremony and party. Family and friends gathered to witness the start of Lauren and Zach’s life together and to join them as they celebrated into the night. Congratulations again Lauren and Zach!

The Garden City Hotel Wedding Photos – Ashley and Adam

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: May 4, 2011

What a gorgeous wedding! Ashley and Adam had a fantastic wedding at The Garden City Hotel and we were so happy to be able to capture it for them. Ashley looked stunning in her Oscar de la Renta gown and Jimmy Choo heels, and Adam was exquisitely handsome in his tuxedo by Theory. Ashley never stopped smiling from the time we met her for getting ready photos to the very last dance of the night – I doubt she’s stopped since then! These two have some absolutely great chemistry which translated into some fabulous shots, not to mention an extremely great party. When the lights went down and the music came up (courtesy of the one and only rocking Kevin Osbourne and Hank Lane), Ashley and Adam didn’t let anything stand in the way of them having a good time, no matter how tired or hot they were. Family and friends helped them celebrate into the early morning until it was time say goodnight to our newly minted husband and wife. Congratulations again Ashley and Adam!

Old Westbury Gardens Wedding Photos – Bianca and Kevin

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: October 1, 2010

Don’t you just kinda just melt when you see hand written notes from the groom to the bride on the wedding day? There is something terrifically old fashioned and sweet about sending notes to your bride (or your groom, ladies!) on your wedding day just to say that you can’t stop thinking about them and you are so happy to spend your life with them. We had such a wonderful day with Bianca and Kevin and we can’t wait to show them the rest of their images – Congratulations Bianca and Kevin!
