Setauket Backyard Ceremony - Merissa and Chris

Merissa and Chris get hitched in their backyard ceremony, sounds quint doesn't it? There was nothing quint about this spectacular wedding that took place in the brides home overlooking the beautiful harbor in Setauket with 200 guests being transported in ribbon adorned golf carts to the ceremony site. With the stunning view, it was hard to keep our cameras focused on the ceremony, but our beautiful bride Merissa made it easier.

After the ceremony all guests gathered at Flowerfields for yet another incredible event. The room was filled with eye candy and we couldn't get enough. Merissa's uncle Peter was in charge of the beautiful room décor, which was filled with pink peonies and a touch of green.

A real high school romance! Merissa and Chris knew each other their whole lives and started dating in their freshman year of high school. After high school they went their separate ways off to college while maintaining their long distance relationship. After 10 long years they are finally married and ready to start a new life together.
Congrats, Merissa and Chris!

Merissa and Chris' advice for the newly engaged:
"It's all about compromise and putting the other person first no matter what! And ...pick Sandi Rufo Photography, she's great!"

I swear that's what they wrote, lol!
