Magical doesn’t begin to describe this wedding day. The morning started by the coast with the guys getting ready beachside. Definitely not something I ever would have thought of but it was so much fun!! Then we moved over to a family home for Danielle’s portion of the morning and got the most gorgeous getting ready images. After a super sweet first look, we headed over to Great Neck Country Club in Waterford CT for the wedding and it was stunning!! This was my first wedding here but hopefully won’t be my last!!

This day was absolutely amazing and so heartfelt. From start to finish, I witnessed so much love. Between Danielle and Matt, of course, but also with the love showered on them from their friends and family. I don’t know if I’ve smiled or laughed this much at a wedding but this crowd was amazing. Their day started surrounded by their closest loved ones whose only concerned seemed to be on Danielle and Matt. You could feel the love radiating between them as we moved into their first look. The nervous giggles and awestruck reactions were easily some of my favorites. Followed by a ceremony filled with love and a reception full of fun, this was definitely a wedding to remember for all who witnessed it!!

Overall, this Great Neck Country Club wedding was one I will remember for sure! It was amazing to get to witness and capture the unyielding love that Danielle and Matt share for one another and I loved getting to photograph this fun bunch again and see so many friendly faces from Ashly and Matt’s 2019 wedding!! Wishing all of the love and happiness to these two!!
