Our team arrived at Pine Hollow Country Club on Long Island, where Raluca and Ryan chose to celebrate their wedding in true style. After their intimate New York City elopement — just the two of them, running through the city and soaking in the moment — this day was about something bigger. A full celebration surrounded by friends, family, and the people closest to them.
The day unfolded without rush, filled with that calm, magical wedding energy that makes everything feel effortless. We began by capturing Raluca’s getting ready moments — intimate, emotional, and full of anticipation. Her dress was absolutely stunning, and her bridesmaids set the tone for the morning. Laughter filled the room, champagne flowed freely, and the energy was joyful and light. We documented every candid moment as it naturally happened.
The first look between Raluca and Ryan was deeply emotional and tender. It was one of those moments where time seems to slow down — quiet, sincere, and full of meaning. We captured it from beginning to end, preserving emotions they’ll be able to relive for years to come.
As the evening approached, guests gathered for cocktail hour, filling the venue with conversation and excitement. Inside the reception space, anticipation built as everyone waited for the couple’s entrance. When Raluca and Ryan finally walked in, the room came alive. Their first dance opened the reception, and soon guests joined them on the dance floor, turning the moment into a full celebration.
The party paused for dinner, where heartfelt toasts and meaningful speeches were shared — moments that will live on far beyond the day itself. Afterward, the couple cut their wedding cake, and the celebration picked right back up.
The dance floor stayed full, the energy never faded, and the night was filled with unforgettable moments. We captured the story of the day from start to finish, preserving not just how it looked, but how it felt.
We were honored to document this important chapter in Raluca and Ryan’s story — from their NYC elopement to this incredible celebration at Pine Hollow Country Club.
