Bailey & Ryan’s wedding at the enchanting Peconic River Herb Farm was a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Having previously captured their engagement session, we were thrilled to reunite with this wonderful couple for their wedding day. The farm itself was like stepping into a fairytale—lush greenery, vibrant blooms, and a peaceful ambiance that set the perfect backdrop for the celebration.
The morning began in a cozy house where Bailey and her bridesmaids sipped champagne, sharing giggles and heartfelt stories as they got ready. The air buzzed with excitement as Bailey added the finishing touches to her elegant bridal look. Meanwhile, Ryan, dressed in a stylish suit, waited with palpable anticipation for the moment he’d see his bride. The excitement in the air was contagious, building up to that special first look.
The first look was arranged in a secluded garden corner, surrounded by a canopy of leaves and bursts of wildflowers. As Bailey approached, Ryan took a deep breath, and when he turned around, the emotion was clear on both of their faces. This intimate moment was full of joy, love, and a touch of nervous laughter, and we were there to capture every tender glance and tearful smile. After they exchanged a few whispered vows, we ventured deeper into the beautiful grounds for a couple’s session. The farm’s rustic charm provided endless photo opportunities: paths framed by arching trees, sun-dappled clearings, and vibrant flower beds. Bailey and Ryan’s playful, genuine chemistry shone through in every shot, from candid giggles to romantic embraces.
Following the ceremony, guests mingled during a cocktail hour where drinks and laughter flowed freely. Bailey and Ryan took this time to share smiles and moments with their loved ones, while we captured candid shots of friends toasting, kids playing, and heartfelt reunions. As the sun began to dip lower in the sky, we whisked the couple away for some breathtaking golden-hour photos. With the warm light casting a dreamy glow over the farm, Bailey and Ryan looked like they stepped out of a storybook.
The reception kicked off with their first dance, a beautiful display of love that drew every eye in the room. As their song played, guests watched, some swaying along, others dabbing at their eyes. The dance floor soon came alive as friends and family joined in, moving to a mix of classic tunes and energetic beats. The speeches were a highlight of the evening—filled with humor, nostalgia, and heartfelt sentiments from parents, the maid of honor, and the best man. Bailey and Ryan listened, hands intertwined, smiles never leaving their faces.
The night wouldn’t be complete without the cutting of their exquisite wedding cake, a moment filled with laughter as they playfully fed each other bites. The celebration continued with dancing under twinkling fairy lights, spontaneous group photos, and endless joy. The farm, lit up by soft lights, provided a romantic atmosphere that perfectly encapsulated the day’s spirit.
Capturing Bailey & Ryan’s wedding was an honor that left us with full hearts and memory cards brimming with moments that we know they’ll cherish forever. It was a true NYC wedding experience, set against the charm of a hidden gem that made the day uniquely theirs.
