I enjoyed seeing a bit of Long Island and New York City while up in New York for
Melissa and Oladele's wedding. Friday morning I went out to the
Fire Island Lighthouse. It was a gorgeous day and I was disappointed not to be able to climb the
lighthouse due to a school group.

Kathleen and I started our site visits for the wedding. She lives on Long Island and would be second shooting with me so it was fun to have her along to explore with me. I always like to know where I'm going so I can make the most of each location on the wedding day when time is flying by. First stop, the regal
Old Westbury Gardens. I love these kinds of places and have been looking forward to shooting wedding pictures here! It was amazing and so hard to choose only a few spots to use for wedding portraits! And the fall colors were just spectacular!
As we were driving out to the
San Souci of Sea Cliff, the wedding reception location, we spotted this place and immediately pulled in to check it out. It turned out to be
Cedarmere with amazing potential for wedding portraits. I couldn't wait to bring Melissa and Oladele back here! The weather and time constraints of the wedding day didn't allow us to fully use the property - Melissa was willing to climb into the old greenhouse :) - but it was beautiful and fascinating none the less.
On Sunday we went downtown New York City and walked about 90 blocks! The left picture is the arch honoring George Washington in
Washington Square Park. On the right is the nearly full moon rising over Central Park. There were runners still finishing the
New York City Marathon, running to the finish line in the park. Quite an accomplishment for them! It was so sweet to see the people along the road cheering them on by name (when they had their names on their shirts).

As always, incredible, incredible pictures! Love the wedding pics in NY. Just beautiful! And your children's pictures lately are so cute! Miss you. Sure wish I was going to see you next week. :(
I promise this will be the last comment on your blog - but - I just looked at the LI and NYC photos and they all made me homesick - great shots all of them!!!!
Claire - I've loved your comments! I'm so glad you're enjoying the pictures. The older woman I chatted with who was a volunteer at the Fire Island Light House had lived on Long Island her whole life and assured me it was the best part of New York! :)
