Inn at Longshore Wedding : Connecticut : Westport, CT

A wedding at the Inn at Longshore by NYC photographer Brian Hatton.


Ilana & Danny were married at the Inn at Longshore in Westport, CT in October.
One of the staples of my venue lineups every year is the waterfront club in Connecticut.  The Inn at Longshore sits right on the water with New York City in the distance and sweeping views of the sound with a beach right out front.  For a mid October wedding, the hope is that you could still have an outdoor ceremony but on this particular day the wind was howling and it was downright frigid!  That didn't stop Ilana from shedding the jacket and going with it which I so appreciated.  You'll see, Ilana & Danny are a fun couple that go with the flow and know how to have a great time.  The photos literally take themselves!   Also, I'd already photographed Ilana's sister Dara's wedding earlier the same year so there were so many familiar faces right off the bat.
After coming back inside to thaw, it was time to prepare for their Jewish wedding ceremony beginning with the signing of the ketubah.  A beautiful ritual where the bride & groom are surrounded by their parents and sign a sacred document, they are in fact officially married before what we all think of as the ceremony is underway.
With guests arriving, the sun really began to stream in casting a warm glow over the ceremony.  Despite being inside, it was still a beautiful and fortunately warm moment.  After everyone cleared out, the staff of The Inn were busy flipping the space for the reception as Flowers by Danielle accented the space with gorgeous florals.

Glen Arbor Golf Club Wedding : Anna & Barry : Bedford Hils, NY

  Anna & Barry were married July 21, 2018 with a wedding ceremony at St Aloysius Church in New Canaan, CT followed by dinner and dancing at Glen Arbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills, NY. This was my first visit to Glen Arbor Golf Club and I found it to be absolutely stunning.  The drive up into the woods feels like you're entering a secret compound - and ahead you're greeted with sprawling grounds surrounded by old trees and a beautiful lake.  This combined with the storybook tent made for a joyous evening under the stars complete with a visit from a former president!

Wee Burn Country Club Wedding : Christy & Kevin : Darien, CT

  Christy & Kevin were married July 14, 2018 holding their wedding ceremony at St John Catholic Church and reception at Wee Burn Country Club in Darien, CT. When you pull in to Wee Burn CC you feel as though you've been transported to Santa Barbara, CA with its Spanish Revival facade radiating the afternoon light. Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood, Wee Burn is a gem with gorgeous grounds and a welcoming vibe.  Both Christy & Kevin got ready at the club before heading over to St John Church for a ceremony in the intimate sanctuary. Once we returned to the club, it was the perfect temperature for an outdoor cocktail hour on the patio which I think is perhaps the greatest part of having a wedding here.  At the end of the day, it's an exceedingly romantic setting with the string lights and soft evening light. A special thanks goes out to Laura Boulton Events.  Laura is such a pro and one of my favorite vendors to work with in Connecticut!
