Monica and Jay at Rock Hill Country Club in Manorville

After a rainy morning, with few hopes for better weather the sun came out just in time for Monica and Jay to head back down the isle after saying "I Do" in front of their 120 guests.It turned out to be a picture perfect day for a wedding reception at Rock Hill Country Club in Manorville NY.

After they went through the trouble of finding umbrellas to match the beautiful periwinkle dresses and hydrangeas we decided to make use of them in our photos anyway :)
Besides the gorgeous photo ops at Rock Hill Country Club, Dr Beat Productions had the party rocking all day into the night. The very shy pilot and school teacher who met on Match.com came out of their shells and danced to their own tune. My favorite part was when Jay replicated the entire Footloose number while guests cheered him on. Go Jay!
Congrats to a great couple!

Tiffany and Tom at Crest Hollow Country Club

Love Tiffany's style! The vibrant colors of purples and fuchsia were everywhere, including the couples amazing tattoo art. Not to mention how absolutely gorgeous Tiffany is.

Tiffany and Tom met back when "My Space" was the social networking site. Tom saw Tiffany's photo and commented "I love your ink" (pretty good pick up line, Tom) and the rest is history. Love at first site and they are just so happy to share their wedding day with all their family and friends.
Congrats to the "inked" couple!

Leigh and John Tie the Knot at Bayard Arboretum

Talk about shy! These two could have gone on forever just going to $4 Tuesday at the local movie theater as friends and never get together. It took 6 years and a friend that finally decided to play matchmaker for them to realize their relationship was something else. 2 years later on New Years Eve, John proposed and Leigh said "yes"!

Since both Leigh and John have a love for nature and the outdoors "tree huggers", lol they chose the Bayard Arboretum for both their ceremony and the reception that followed. The location was perfect, John waited by the lake while Leigh snuck up behind him to surprise him in her beautiful dress. When he saw her he cried, she cried, we all cried!
After a beautiful ceremony overlooking the green hills and lake at sunset they enjoyed an intimate party at the Hidden Oak Cafe that included centerpieces that appear to be fireflies in mason jars.

 Leigh and John's advice for the newly engaged:
"Have fun planning. Don't get wrapped up in the details. Try to keep it simple. Spend your money on the downpayment for a house and not all on the wedding."

Courtney and John's Elegant Beach Wedding at Westhampton Bath and Tennis

Perfect day for a beach wedding in July for Courtney and John at Westhampton Bath and Tennis. Nothing says beachy wedding theme than Courtney's beautiful waterfront home in Center Moriches to the elegant wide open ocean view at the venue. And if the wedding nuptials at the waters edge wasn't enough, then they had a beach bonfire at sunset. Seashells adorned all the tables and even confections on their cake. Best part is the massive crystal chandelier that hung above this casual atmosphere, really a beautiful touch. I couldn't stop photographing them under it!

Courtney and John share a love of furry friends, especially their two dogs Riley and Frank who were unfortunately unable to attend the wedding, but were there in more ways than one. Each table had a photo of the dogs and they were even on the cake! Bet Riley and Frank are missing them while they are away on their two week honeymoon! Congrats!

Kristy and Evan at Long Island Museum in Stony Brook Village

Kristy and Evan had a perfect wedding plan to get ready at the cottages at Three Village Inn, take a trolley over to The Long Island Museum for a beautiful outdoor ceremony and then back to Three Village Inn to celebrate. Well, torrential rains didn't stop these two! Evan huddled under an umbrella waiting to see his beautiful Bride while the entire bridal party and family watched out the windows of the trolley, so adorable! After an exciting first look at each other we all shuffled off for the ceremony. After that Kristy could care less if she got wet and ran across the street in the rain, needless to say all traffic stopped to see the bride :)

None other than a self defense class taught by Evan is where the two met 6 years ago, and the rest is history!

Kristy and Evan are just one of those couples that you can't help adore! They are both so beautiful and such caring people, they are going to make some gorgeous babies! Congrats! <3 you guys!
