Wedding in the Park

Of all the places to get married (and I’ve photographed at some beautiful venues), there is something so sweet and romantic about having a wedding in the park. When Lauren and Chase got married this June out at Great Neck Park, we couldn’t have asked for a better day! The sun was shining, there was a soft breeze, and family and friends were seated around the happy couple as they exchanged vows in this gorgeous natural setting.

The ceremony was lovely, officiated by a family friend who traveled from out of state to be able to officiate the wedding for Lauren and Chase. I have to say that I particularly loved this minister because not only did he have a great personality, he also played the guitar before and after the ceremony! Then once the ceremony was concluded and these two lovebirds were officially married (yay!), we got to take some pictures in this beautiful setting!

Hands down, one of the best things about a wedding is seeing the grooms reaction when he first lays eyes on his beautiful bride = priceless!

Since we did most of the formal pictures before the ceremony (hooray for saving time!), we were able to grab a few quick photos with the bridal party, and then spend a lot of time just taking pictures of Lauren and Chase.

Once we got to the reception, Lauren and Chase were ready to throw down and have a good time!
It was so much fun coming to photograph for this wedding in the park and get to share such a special day with them and their families. I know that the future is going to be amazing for them and that as long as they lean on each other, there is nothing these two can’t conquer.
