Carrie & Brian’s Wedding at The Belle Haven Club in Greenwich, CT

Having shot at a wonderful reception at The Belle Haven Club last year, I knew I’d be in for a real treat when Carrie & Brian booked me to photograph their September wedding at this beautiful Yacht Club in Greenwich, Connecticut. I was particularly excited to shoot a ceremony there (outdoors of course, water views!) since the last time I was up I didn’t see one of these. We started the coverage at Carrie’s parents home nearby and I arrived to find her and all these gorgeous bridesmaids in matching blue silk robes! What a wonderful gift for your gals and it made for some cute pictures of them out on the back porch after their hair and makeup was finished… Carrie got into her gown and veil and we were on our way to the club to meet the fellas. I got a little time with them before the ceremony and my assistants and I set up my open-air photobooth nice and early so it would be all ready for guests to take their own picture from the cocktail hour onwards… Highlights for me included the beautiful sunset sky (and yes, I totally pulled the couple out for a few quick shots– some of my favorites!), the sweet and hilarious toasts (I might have to steal one of the best man’s jokes to use at my brother’s wedding next summer!) some seriously wild dance-floor action (my favorite kind), and of course the couple’s grand exit by boat, during which everyone at the wedding lined up along a stone wall and watched them walk out on the dock and board a friends’ boat and ride off under the moonlight… All in all a fabulous wedding day! Congratulations to Carrie & Brian! My favorites are below…
