Stephanie & Bert’s Ocean Beach Fire Island Wedding at the Hideaway

It all starts with a ferry or boat ride, it doesn’t take long and by the time you get to the island all your worries have melted away!  What a perfect place to bring your friends and family to celebrate your wedding!

Stephanie & Bert’s wedding full of unique details all started with their creative and beautiful wedding invitation.

Stephanie and her girls got ready at the Blue Water Hotel.  There was lots of hugs and giggling and swooning over Stephanie!

And when the girls are are getting ready of the course the boys are playing…and they convinced life guards to take a picture with them!

Both parties head to the beach for the wedding!

Getting married on Fire Island is so much fun, everyone loves the bride and wants to share their best wishes!

And the little girls… well they are just in awe!

The beach provided such a beautiful place for the wedding… the sky was such an incredible blue!

Married!!!

Traditional…

Fun!!!  The jump picture does not often happen, or even work well- but this is the best one ever!

Stephanie, Bert and I left the bridal party and headed around Fire Island to take some romantic and fun portraits!

Remember the engagement shoot?  (If you didn’t see them click here, then you will understand this photograph!) We went back again, this time Bert skipped the pizza!

Stephanie & Bert arrived in style to their reception on the back of a friend’s boat!

The Hideaway was such an elegant place for the wedding reception.

Stephanie & Bert enjoyed a montage slide show of images from their childhood and their lives together.

The sun started to set and created gorgeous light that everyone was enjoying out on the docks!

THE CAKE!!!!  I have NEVER, EVER- EVER seen such an incredible cake!  So unique, so meaningful and so beautiful!

Licking cake off Stephanie’s nose…a perfect display of how much fun these two are!

A perfect sunset for the perfect wedding day!  Congratulations Stephanie and Bert!!
