Long Island Wedding at Carltun on the Park – Danielle and Eugene

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: December 16, 2010

We met up with Danielle and Eugene on their wedding day at Garden City Hotel for some quick shots of them getting ready before heading over to Planting Fields for some outdoor portraits. After some gorgeous photos of the two of them in the afternoon light we set off for Our Lady of the Snows and then onto their party at Carlton on the Park. Family and friends helped celebrate with Danielle and Eugene into the night and we loved capturing every moment of it for them. Congratulations again Daniell and Eugene!

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: November 30, 2010

Melissa and Nicolo’s Long Island wedding started out early in the afternoon with some quiet photos of the two of them getting ready for the day, but as Melissa stepped into those gorgeous red Yves Saint Laurent shoes the day kicked into full swing! With a stop at The Planting Fields, we added even more color to their day with fields of flowers pulling your eye along the pathways. The day ended at Old Westbury Country Club with family and friends surrounding Melissa and Nicolo, celebrating the start of their lives together. Congratulations again Melissa and Nicolo!

Coe Hall At The Planting Fields Wedding Photos – Janet & Greg’s Gold Coast Mansion Wedding

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: June 21, 2010

We have seen our fair share of weddings at the Planting Fields over the years, and they are always beautiful. What we don’t see very often is a wedding inside the mansion at the Planting Fields. Coe Hall has played host to wedding nuptials on very rare occasions over the years, and most notably to Coe’s daughter Natalie Mae Coe’s wedding in 1934. The mansion harkens back to an era of opulence in the early 1900′s that lent itself perfectly to our bride and groom, Janet and Greg. Muted pinks, browns, peach and ivory set a stately tone for Janet and Greg’s intimate wedding, and colored the evening in a sublime warmth that reflected their love for each other. We absolutely loved being a part of the their day, especially due to the overall mood of the affair, and even more now for how the images we were able to make with them bring that feeling rushing back all over again.

Katelyn & George

By | Published: July 30, 2009

Katelyn and George are another shining example of what happens when Brett Matthews Photography works with a fun couple. Tip to every prospective bride and groom out there: the more loose and care-free you are, the better your pictures are going to turn out. Katelyn and George were happy as ever on the big day, and photographer Chris rode the wave with them. The result? An album that accurately reflects the great time everyone had that the family and friends will preserve forever.
