A Sweet and Upbeat Bellport Country Club Wedding for K + R

K + R's wedding day started in the best way possible, getting ready together at home surrounded by the people closest to them. There's something so sweet about a morning in the couple's own space, with music playing, friends coming in and out, and everyone hyping each other up before the big moment. From there we headed to the beach for their first look, and it set the tone for the entire day. The reactions, the laughter, and the ocean breeze made it one of my favorite parts of the whole wedding. For couples planning a Long Island wedding, a beach first look before heading to the venue is such a fun way to get relaxed, natural photos before the ceremony.


The ceremony and reception both took place at Bellport Country Club, and from start to finish the energy was nonstop. K + R were all smiles through their ceremony, and once the reception started, the party never slowed down. The dance floor was full, the toasts had everyone laughing, and these two clearly spent the night having the best time with their friends and family. As a New York wedding photographer, I love days like this where the couple fully lets loose and enjoys every second. K + R, thank you for having me be part of such a fun and upbeat day. Scroll through for some of my favorites from their Bellport Country Club wedding.
