When I used to think of backyard weddings, luxury is not something that came to mind. However, wait until you see this one, it is amazing. Shannon and Phil married a few weeks ago on a mild summer day in July. And when I say it was mild, a mere 82 degrees made for the perfect day! Literally, it’s normally so hot, but their day was amazing. They started their day with gorgeous portraits at Planting Fields Arboretum. Leaving this Long Island New York Wedding a must-see event for any Long Island Wedding Photographer.
A sailcloth tent was set up behind the pool for an amazing wedding reception. And a gorgeous ceremony with an aisle flanked on both ends with gorgeous flower arches. Shannon walked down the aisle in a gorgeous Berta gown to Phil, who was crying tears of joy. They shared the most precious vows with each other and shared rings and a kiss to seal their love. Exiting through guests tossing flower petals and another kiss at the end of the aisle, their forever together started. It’s moments like these that any Long Island Wedding Photographer dreams of capturing.
The Reception
Their wedding reception started with a cocktail hour around the pool with a mixologist and three custom cocktails to choose from. From cocktail-hour guests entered the gorgeous sail cloth tent to their seats for a delicious meal. Friends and family toasting the couple’s happiness, first dances, and special songs were all part of the celebration, followed by a fun party of dancing! We absolutely adore Phil and Shannon and the love they share. From the very first phone call, we knew these two were going to be an unstoppable force together. We love their day and the love they share. It is such a great honor to be a part of their magical day.
