Sarah and Tom got married recently in what is probably my favorite location here on Long Island. The de Seversky Center in Old Westbury dates back to 1918 and is one of the finest examples of what Gold Coast living was like (for some) in the roaring 20s.
When I met Sarah and Tom, I knew we would be a good fit photographically and was very excited when they booked with us and quite flattered by their kind words and appreciation of good photography. I met up with Tom and his groomsmen before Sarah arrived to get ready..
Tom snuck away when Sarah arrived so she could make her way up to the bridal suite without being seen...
Ladies.. Sarah's shoes were to die for! She told me that they cost more than her wedding dress and I did not doubt it for one second! Accessories like this make for great still life studies!
Last minute steaming of the veil...
...and a mirrored glimpse that says it all.
Sarah was ahead of schedule and we had plenty of time to go outside to take some portraits before the ceremony was underway..
Beautiful stone pillars and soft light make a great location!
...then back to the spectacular bridal suite...
Sarah was led down the aisle by her mother..
Great expression by Tom at seeing Sarah for the first time in her wedding dress!
The sun set just as the ceremony ended but we still managed to get some exterior portraits in the fading twilight...
..and one or two inside the mansion..
Sarah and Tom hired some Belly Dancers to perform at the reception and these girls were unbelievable! Led by Roni from Inner Spirit Yoga Center they had everyone up and dancing!
...and one of my favorite images to end the post - I turned off the flash and let the ambient light wash Sarah and Tom as they danced under one of the belly dancer's fiery veils!
