NICOLE & DOM! 🤍🕊️✨

What a beautiful way to kick off October! The day began with both of them getting ready at their family homes before heading to their church ceremony in Nassau, the same church Dom grew up attending. It was a bit of a drive from Nicole's getting-ready location, but we left with plenty of time to arrive, settle in, and line up for the processional.

After they said "I do," we headed back to Suffolk for bridal party and family photos at Argyle Park, then over to The Piermont for extended family photos before cocktail hour. With every photo checked off, Nicole and Dom were free to soak up the rest of the night 🥳

Witnessing their love for each other over these past months, and seeing the love that filled the room on their wedding day, was truly special. I'm so lucky to have been a part of their celebration. Cheers to the Salduttis! 🥂

This wedding humbled me 🤍

Less than 48 hours before the big day, the couple changed their plans. I'll be honest, I felt off my game. I care deeply about getting every detail right, and there wasn't time to get everything exactly right.

But here's what I was reminded of: coordinating isn't about everything going perfectly. It's about adapting. It's resetting expectations, pivoting & communicating with your vendor team, working hand-in-hand with the venue when the run of show could change at any moment, and keeping communication open with the couple through all of it.

Not everything went smoothly. But we figured it out, and this beautiful couple got to see their vision come to life. To the vendor team who rolled with every change: thank you. It truly takes a village✨

IRENE & MICHAEL 🤍☀️🦋

A beautiful September day celebrating the love of these two! They both wanted a little guidance and help so they could avoid stressing over the little things and just let their day flow, which is exactly what we did 🤍

We had an early getting-ready start at the Residence Inn before heading over to The Larkfield for the ceremony. Irene and Michael waited until the ceremony to see each other, which is always so sweet and fun, the anticipation gets me every time! We were able to get all their photos done right after the ceremony, with plenty of time for them to head back to the bridal suite to relax before the reception started. But before that, we HAD to stop for a photo with the new mail trucks, because Irene absolutely loves them and they just happened to be parked at the front of the venue when we arrived, perfect timing!

Another truck came later in the day to surprise the guests with some Carvel ice cream, putting the cherry on top of this fun celebration! Congrats again to the beautiful couple, wishing you both so much happiness and love 🤍✨🍦

THE NASONS 💍✨🤍

This one was so special! I got to be part of my childhood soccer teammate’s big day and help her be fully present in every moment 🥹

We started the morning in the stunning bridal suite at Stonebridge Country Club, jamming and glamming with the girls, while the guys got ready in their own suite before photo and video arrived for detail shots. Then came the first looks: Jordan with her dad, Jordan with her brother, both had me crying my eyes out, and then Jordan and Brett, which was the icing on the cake 🫶🏻

One of my favorite moments was watching their daughter walk as their flower girl. Getting to include her in their wedding was such a beautiful reminder of the love and growth this family has already built together 💕

From there we moved into bridal party and family photos, a gorgeous ceremony, and then it was time to party!! These two told me from day one they wanted the dance floor packed all night, and that’s exactly what happened.

Thank you again for trusting me with such a special celebration. It was truly an honor. Love you both so much! 🫶🏻

THE CORRIES ✨🤍🍝 Marissa and Matt dreamed of an intimate, romantic Italian wedding for their big day, and that’s exactly what they got 🤍 This wasn’t your typical wedding venue or experience; the couple wanted to give their guests something unique, and every detail was thoughtfully planned to make it feel like a trip to Italy for the night. From setup to day-of coordination, we made sure their vision came to life. It was such a special day to be a part of, especially since this was Luca Restaurant very first wedding, and they did an unbelievable job, executing everything flawlessly from food to service. Salute to The Corries! 🥂

Coordination looks different every single time 🤍 most times it’s managing from behind the scenes, and sometimes it’s setting up the final details myself. This day called for the latter and it’s a reminder of just how much goes into making a wedding feel effortless and stress-free!

THE JOHANSSONS 🤍🌱🌸

The most beautiful day from start to finish for J&M!! The morning started at the cozy cottages at TVI, where the girls and guys were able to have a relaxing morning before getting started with photos. While hair & makeup was taking place, decor was set up for the ceremony in the most perfect setting for these two.

We had an intimate first look in a quiet & peaceful location, then went into portraits before family photos. We finished with ample time so they could put their feet up before the ceremony, where Jaclyn and Matt exchanged personal vows 🥹

We rolled into cocktail hour right after, where guests enjoyed being outside since the weather was PERFECT ALL DAY. It was then time to PARTY!! Which is exactly what they did — this crowd did not stop, and it’s exactly what Jaclyn & Matt envisioned their night to feel like!

It was so fun being a part of their big day and witnessing the love they have for one another and the love that surrounds them. One for the books!! 🫶🏻

MR. & MRS. VARLEY 🤍✨

What a special day to be a part of!! Last year Sarah entered a spring giveaway and won some vendor services for her wedding, and yesterday we had the chance to celebrate their love!

Sarah and John went with the flow all day (Zippy in hand!), shared their vows privately, then headed straight into photos with plenty of time to relax before the ceremony. The weather held out just enough for them to have their outdoor ceremony exactly as they envisioned, yay for no rain! Then we got them out to enjoy most of cocktail hour before making their entrance as the new Mr. & Mrs. ✨

I was so happy to be a part of this one. The love in that room from their friends and family was everything. Wishing you two all the best, cheers to the Varleys! 🥂

THE CARMANS 🤍🩵 the sweetest & coolest bride & groom!!

We started the morning at the cutest cottages, the guys showed up in style on motorcycles - SO COOL and Jess had the sweetest first looks with her bridesmaids and dad before she saw her groom surrounded by all their friends and family 🥹

With plenty of time to relax and cool off, they were able to chill out before the ceremony began in the bridal suite. Their cousin officiated something short, funny, and completely them and then this bridal party brought the ENERGY all day & did not stop at the reception.

Jess and John, watching you two just enjoy every single moment of your day was everything. So lucky I got to be part of it. So much love for you both! 🫶🏻

MR. & MRS. SANTANGELO 🤍🌿🐶 From the start of the day, it was clear how much love was packed into every detail.

Even with a little rain, that couldn’t stop these two! We had the cutest backup photo location for first look before heading to the venue. The ceremony was officiated by their brother-in-law who did the most amazing job and had all the guests thinking he does this full-time!

Cocktail hour had us all gathered around their pup, Russett’s potato bar; which was the best thing ever 🤩 The icing on the cake was that Kristen planned the ultimate surprise for her new husband: Mr. & Mrs. Met showed up and the place went absolutely wild.

This one was one for the books! Wishing you both so much love & happiness 🤍
