The intricate lace detailing on Lauren’s dress stood out so beautifully against the dramatic mid-September sky. Vibrant floral arrangements and boutonnieres paired perfectly with the pale grey bridesmaid’s dresses and navy-blue groomsmen suits. It was a fantastic evening full of dancing and celebration as Lauren and Mike’s guests came together to share in their excitement for the newlyweds.

The ceremony, which took place in the beautiful St. Patrick’s Church of Bay Shore, provided me the opportunity to perfectly capture those goose bump moments that matter the most. The setting was both spiritually meaningful and aesthetically spectacular, making the moment that Dad walked Lauren down the aisle and that final “I do” between Lauren and Mike all the more special. This touching ceremony was a beautiful start to a lighthearted evening full of celebration.

Lauren and Mike’ reception, held alongside the Great South Bay at the Venetian Yacht Club, was the ideal spot for outdoor photography on the overcast day. The weather, made it incredibly easy to capture their portraits on the outdoor patio. The evening then transitioned into one awesome party, complete with more dance offs than I can count. It was an absolute pleasure photographing their wedding day. Congrats Lauren and Mike!
