Fresh Meadow Country Club Wedding Photos – Jennifer and Daniel

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: May 16, 2012

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

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: May 16, 2012

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!

A Plaza Hotel Wedding – Georgina & James

By Brett Matthews Photography | Published: April 27, 2012

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!

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!
