Fall Wedding at RGNY Winery in Riverhead, New York

As a Long Island Wedding Photographer, I often LOVE to shoot on the East End. RGNY is truly one of the most beautiful venues and I love to capture weddings there! Located in Riverhead, New York, RGNY offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation in its exceptional wine production. RGNY champions sustainable farming practices and a commitment to quality that shines through in every bottle. A fall RGNY winery wedding offers a breathtaking backdrop for your special day, combining the charm of nature with the elegance of wine country. As the sun sets, the golden light casts a magical glow over the ceremony, creating a cozy atmosphere. The wedding was coordinated by Jordan Michelle Events, a premier wedding planning service based on Long Island, dedicated to crafting unforgettable celebrations that reflect each couple's unique story.

Molly & Ben are truly such a unique and fun couple! All of the details of their wedding were perfectly planned, timeless, and photographed so well. During their ceremony, they surprised their guests with the news that they had actually eloped a year prior in their living room! It was so fun to catch the guests reactions.

As a Long Island documentary style wedding photographer, I capture the genuine emotions and candid moments of your special day, focusing on storytelling rather than posed shots. My approach allows for a natural flow, enabling couples and their guests to fully engage in the experience without interruption. By focusing on authentic interactions, expressions, and details, I create a timeless gallery that reflects the true emotions on your wedding day. The result is a collection of images that not only documents the event but also evokes the feelings and atmosphere of your special day, for years to come.

The ceremony space at RGNY is truly magical. On this fall evening with PERFECT weather, the sunset cast the most beautiful glow on the couple and their guests. The simple yet elegant florals, done by Little White Florist, were the perfect touch. One benefit to choosing a venue as stunning as RGNY, is that you don’t need to do much to the space - it definitely speaks for itself.

Even though they’d eloped a year before, Ben was still emotional seeing how BEAUTIFUL Molly looked coming down the aisle, in her dress from Max Bridal!

Capturing couples amongst the vineyards is so stunning! Especially during sunset, the lighting was truly so perfect.

Every detail, down to the bridal party attire, blended in so beautifully with the day.

The catering team, East End Catering, was incredible! Guests and the wedding couple themself were raving about how good the food and service was. There’s a reason they are RGNY’s top recommended caterer!

Florals were repurposed from the ceremony and bridal bouquets to create the most stunning array of florals for the sweetheart table. These florals enhanced the speech photos and made them so stunning.

The DJ, Future Sounds NY, knows how to get the party started. The dance floor was filled with guests ALL night long, bride and groom included! Highly recommend choosing Future Sounds for your RGNY wedding, as they truly gave everyone an amazing experience.

I love to capture moments from unique and unexpected angles, so it was really exciting to capture part of the first dance from the loft overlooking the dance floor!
