Peconic Bay Yacht Club Fairy Tale Wedding | Southold, NY
May 13, 2018 By  cappy With  0 Comment
In  Beach Weddings  /  North Fork Weddings  /  Outdoor Weddings

You know when you meet a couple that you know deep in your heart will be together forever? Or should I say, trouple? That’s Cara and Mike and Maddie the Poo. This was one of those fairytale weddings that we photographers dream about. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting these three beautiful beings at the Planting Fields Arboretum on Long Island where we photographed their engagement shoot. Maddie tried to steal the show but she couldn’t outshine Cara’s beauty which radiates from within. (you’re cute too, Mike!).
Their Peconic Bay Yacht Club wedding (to see another wedding from PBYC, check out the wedding of Kate and Ian that I shot at this North Fork venue in a torrential downpour) perfectly suited their love of Long Island, water, and family and friends.
In the lobby of the venue they had photos from each of our family’s weddings, Cara’s mom as a bride, her parents wedding, Mike’s Parents and our grandparents, a blue bottle in which guests could place messages that they will read on their first anniversary, and super cool strawberry jam favors from Leanne’s Specialty Cake with the same jam that was inside one of their cakes. And I looooove her boho Marchesa gown and flowy Ava Flora bouquet. Dreamy.

Check out their romantic engagement shoot here.  Oh, and they  are going to be featured on the lovely website, Grey Likes Weddings this Spring~
