A Lighthouse Wedding – Brittany & William

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: April 25, 2012

Brittany & William traveled from the Hilton Hotel to Abigail Kirsch’s Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers in style– by taking the groom’s DeLorean, straight out of Back to the Future! But they had no need to escape the present, seeing as how they showed yet again that the Lighthouse is a spectacular venue by decorating it with jaw-dropping centerpieces from Atlas Floral and tinting the room with an ocean blue hue. Great early Spring weather allowed our team to capture fun candid portraits with the unique riverfront horizon that you can only see at the Lighthouse. And to end the night, the couple rocked out to entertainment provided by our friends at Hank Lane Music and Productions. Congratulations again, Brittany and William!

A Carlyle on the Green Wedding – Alexandra & Graham

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: April 25, 2012

Among the many reasons why we love shooting at Carlyle on the Green: the nascent, lush Spring scenery makes for the perfect setting. Mix in the flowers by Pedestals, and it’s no surprise that Alexandra & Graham’s event was beautiful both inside and outside! Their wedding was particularly special for the Carlyle because Graham is part of the Carlyle family: while going to law school, Graham was a member of the Carlyle’s team in his spare time. Congratulations to both of them on bringing everything full circle!

A Lighthouse Wedding – Elizabeth & Matthew

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: April 25, 2012

You’d be hard-pressed to find a better setting in the world for your wedding than The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, an exclusive Abigail Kirsch venue. Enchanting views of New York City and the finest accommodations (including a top caterer)– what’s not to love? So it comes as no surprise that Elizabeth and Matthew chose the Lighthouse. Their wedding was the natural outcome of a relationship that began with sharing their lives together– growing up in the same town, going to the same high school, and dating for nine wonderful years before finally exchanging vows. ”We were so happy to have such beautiful warm weather in March!” the bride told us. Well, Elizabeth, how you could not expect the universe to smile as you guys made a storybook relationship even happier with this beautiful wedding? Congratulations again to both you and Matthew!

A Temple Beth Torah Wedding – Cindy & Sammy

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: April 19, 2012

Cindy & Sammy were wed at Long Island’s Temple Beth Torah, where they also partied the night away in celebration. Their mid-March event was just in time for the venue’s verdant character to shine through, which produced some truly elegant portraits. The reception was a hit, with Bobby Attiko of Hank Lane Music providing the musical entertainment– and be sure to check out those lovely centerpieces by Metro as well. Congratulations, Cindy & Sammy!

A Pleasantdale Chateau Wedding – Jordan & Lindsay

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: April 12, 2012

At this point, it’s safe to say we consider Jordan a member of the family, considering we also photographed both his sister Allison’s wedding and his mom’s wedding! So it was just as happy an occasion for us when he married his gorgeous fiancée Lindsay at the Pleasantdale Cheateau. Not only did they get great weather (of course) to facilitate some jaw-dropping portraits, but they also knew exactly how to decorate, incorporating breathtaking floral arrangements to complement an already majestic venue. ”We wanted to make sure our friends had an awesome time, so we threw a real party,” Lindsay told us. ”We succeeded.” Oh, how right you are. Congratulations, Jordan and Lindsay!

Cynthia and Zhen’s storybook New York wedding had it all. Bride and groom thrilled to be together and looking incredibly classy? Check. Excellent venue? Check– The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, part of the Abigail Kirsch collective. Unbelievable views of New York City? Check. Portraits to die for downtown? Check. Cute origami? Checkmate. So it’s only logical that Cynthia and Zhen’s wedding easily brought out the creativity and artistry that Brett Matthews loves providing for each and every one of its events. Congratulations, you two!
