Caroline + Jack: Piping Rock Beach Club Rehearsal Dinner

Monday, August 1st, 2011

Caroline and Jack choose the lovely Piping Rock Beach Club along the Long Island Sound near Lattingtown, New York for their rehearsal dinner in May. It was an overcast evening, otherwise I’m sure we’d have gotten a lovely sunset. The food was beautiful and the speeches were quite entertaining!

I am always thrilled when clients choose to also hire me to photograph their rehearsal dinner or other pre-wedding parties like showers or engagement parties. Why? It gives me another opportunity before the wedding to get to know the families and couple better. I learn who everyone is so come wedding day, I already know who all of the VIPs are. It isn’t totally necessary because I’m pretty good at identifying people on my own, but it is really nice to experience more of the couple’s wedding journey. And there is good food!

Stay tuned for Caroline and Jack’s wedding!

Desirée + Mike: Equinox Pond Pavilion Rehearsal Dinner

Monday, October 11th, 2010

I don’t usually blog about rehearsal dinners, but the location of this one was just stunning! Guest arriving at the Equinox Resort in Manchester, Vermont were shuttled up to a secluded pond at the base of Mt. Equinox. The cool early September temperatures were perfect for roasting marshmallows for s’mores and the view of the mountain at twilight was just breathtaking!

Guests walked along a grassy path to reach the pavilion.

I just love this moment following the speeches with Mike and his Dad!

Their wedding at Hildene is up tomorrow!
