Ali & Jeff's Wedding

Ali and Jeff had their wedding at the beautiful Atlantica resort in Westhampton here on Long Island. We have shot there several times and never get bored of this amazing venue located right on the beach.
It was a perfect match for their laid back, fun personalities and the weather was picture perfect for us all day!

The blue and white chrysanthimums made for a perfect centerpiece and tied in nicely with Atlantica's blue and white decor..



Jeff's sisters, Kerry and Kimberly, handing out programs prior to the Ceremony..



A key member of the processional (you'll see in the next photo) was Jeff and Ali's Pug named 'Pickles'. He fulfilled the role of ring bearer very well and even had time for a quick game of hide and seek before the Ceremony was underway.



Ali's sister Lauren escorts Pickles down the aisle...





The Ceremony was held in the 'tent' that connects Atlantica to the beach. To call it a tent though is quite an understatement! Here is a shot of the beautiful fabric vaulted ceiling..



Nap time for Pickles!!





Ali and Jeff decided to have a Sand Ceremony in lieu of a Unity Candle...





As I mentioned earlier, the weather was perfect and we headed down to the ocean to shoot some formals..



..then came back up the beach a little when a wave came crashing in a little too close for comfort!





En route to the ocean and Kim was running backward taking photos of Jeff, Ali and Pickles and trying to get the perfect shot!



Meanwhile, from another angle, I was instructing them to walk faster and faster at Kim, but they played nice and stopped short of forcing her to get wet!



Jeff giving Ali a 'dip'...



...and Kerry and Jeff's mom shows them how it should be done!







A nice little touch for beach weddings is to have some flip flops on hand for the female guests who want to kick off their heels and get comfortable at the reception..



I particularly like this silhouette shot of the percussionist in the band...



And finally, the cake.. yum!!



Ali and Jeff, thank you for letting us share your wedding day with you and capture so many beautiful memories!!
