by Michelle Elyse Photography

Glamorous beach wedding at Gurney’s Montauk resort on Long Island including Rehearsal Dinner Coverage. Full of joyful candids and elegant details. Planning and design by Celebrity Event Planner Lawrence Scott Events.

“I can’t speak highly enough about Michelle! After chatting with Michelle once, I knew I needed her photographing our wedding weekend. Michelle is kind, caring, thoughtful and unbelievably talented. Our wedding day was extremely chaotic and Michelle was the calming force behind it all + we have the most incredible, stunning and in the moment wedding photos I couldn’t have ever dreamed of. Our wedding was less than four months ago and we already have our photo album ordered through Michelle. She created the most amazing curation that represented our experience in the best way possible and so fast! I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for anyone, anywhere and any occasion!!!”

A selection of my own favorites above…now onto the full experience.

This couple chose to book 2 separate sessions of coverage that included their Wedding Day, and Rehearsal Dinner Coverage. I’ll share a brief snippet of their other session to set the tone for their incredible ceremony and reception day, which will be shared in detail below. 

This wedding has been featured on White Dossier and The Bridal Journey 

THE REHEARSAL:

This perfect Hamptons two day wedding started out along the ocean at Gurney’s Resort in Montauk where Sam and Kevin held their rehearsal dinner

THE WEDDING DAY:

After a great kickoff to their wedding weekend, these two got ready for the main event at Gurney’s Montauk Resort where everything would take place

Isn’t she just radient?

Off to the beach for some pre ceremony photos among the ocean breeze before signing the Ketubah 

Ceremony time! Sam and Kevin said their vows under a gorgeous chuppah overlooking the Atlantic ocean

The newlyweds enjoy a few minutes alone as the sun sets before dining and dancing the night away with their ~300 guests

These photos were taken in the span of approximately 5-10 minutes and that is all that we needed in this perfect light and setting. Sam and Kevin prioritized savoring and being a part of their wedding day and I am all for that

We then entered into their absolutely jaw dropping oceanside tented reception on top of the Gurney’s Resort patio full of towering crystal candelabras and gold lamps…

Thank you so much Sam and Kevin for asking us to be a part of this incredible day with you and your guests! Love you all so very much!

Montauk Wedding Photographer Captures Gorgeous Wedding at Gurney’s Montauk Resort, Long Island

You all know me- I love my glamorous couples who know how to soak up all the fun in life. In which case, OBVIOUSLY, you can tell that I am completely enamored with Sam + Kevin. These two live in New York City and threw a hell of a wedding up at Gurney’s Resort in Montauk. Montauk is on Long Island just north of the Hamptons where the sand stretches are long and there are more trees than buildings. I totally love it up there.

Sam and Kevin had the most amazing warm, windy day for their wedding on the beach. Sam wore not just one but two gorgeous dresses! And their wedding design and florist dream team set up the most beautiful ceremony and reception decor. I particularly loved that seahorse ice sculpture and those colorful peacock plates.

These two wed on the balcony overlooking the ocean which was timed perfectly to walk down to the beach for some fun alone time/ portrait time in the warm golden sunset afterwards. Once we got inside, the party started and the band kept everyone dancing until they just couldn’t dance anymore.

This was truly an amazing wedding to be a part of and I am so thankful to be asked to share and celebrate in these beautiful memories. Thank you so much for asking me to capture this gorgeous day!

Your fan for life! XOXO, Michelle
