I’m so excited to share that Jillian and Mike’s stunning wedding in Montauk has been featured on Wedding Sparrow. Their chic blue and white sailcloth-tented reception was held at the Groom’s family home and they put together an incredible team to bring their wedding vision to life. I’m beyond honored to have been part of their day and so excited to share it with you over Wedding Sparrow.
A Modern Tented Wedding in Southampton, NY
After two reschedules, one micro wedding, and a few engagement sessions, Michaela and Michael’s wedding day had officially arrived. It’s so funny how the universe works because, on their original wedding date in May, it actually snowed in Montauk. Yes, it snowed! A year and a half later, on an unseasonably warm 80-degree day in October, their stunning tented wedding at Sebonack Golf Club in the Hamptons was simply perfect.
It was a joyful celebration that both families and friends had been looking forward to for a very long time.
Their wedding planner and designer, All Who Wander Events, helps bring the couple’s modern vision for a tented wedding ceremony and reception to reality on the private property located in Southampton, NY. The couple renewed their wedding vows in a short outside ceremony right before the sun began to set. Inside the white sailcloth tent, there were rows of grey wood farm tables, shades of white and green floral decor from Ava Flora, and hanging lanterns with greenery above guests as enjoyed the party well into the night.
I’m so incredibly honored that I was able to be with Michaela and Michael throughout their entire wedding process and continue to be part of their lives documenting their little girl as she grows up. Here are a few of my favorite photos from their beautiful modern tented wedding in The Hamptons.

A Hamptons Classic Tented Wedding in Montauk, NY
It’s true what they say “when you know, you know” and that is clearly the case between Jillian and Mike. From our first chat over the phone to their beach engagement session in Montauk, I knew that this kind and loving couple was simply meant for each other. They are each other’s perfect match! For their wedding, the couple decided to hold their celebration on the groom’s family’s private estate tucked away on Lake Montauk in the Hamptons. Elite Party & Tent Rental installed a stunning white sailcloth tent on the sprawling property to host their wedding reception. When guests arrived they were treated to cocktails on the lawn before witnessing the couple exchange their vows during their outside ceremony. Cocktail hour was held behind the home overlooking the water but it often overflowed along the edges of the estate. Under the blue waving flags of the sailcloth tent, Jillian and Mike danced their first dance as husband and wife under the bistro string lights. It was truly a perfect day for an incredible couple and I’m so honored I was there to capture it all for them.

Topping Rose House Wedding Photos
I asked my friends Taylor from Hill Event Co. and Lori from Avaflora if they would be interested in collaborating on a styled shoot at one of my favorite luxury wedding venues in The Hamptons, Topping Rose House. I had a vision of creating images with an elevated feel that would be just for ourselves. No pressure of submitting our images for publication but a way to get our creative juices flowing again after a year without creating. Using a palette of neutral hues of dusty pink, yellows, and nudes to evoke a sense of beauty that we all had been craving. Luckily, they were on board immediately.
We put together an incredible team of wedding vendors to help bring our Hamptons Wedding Inspiration to life at Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton, NY. Model Paper created a simple invitation suite, L’Fay Bridal loaned us the most incredible lace wedding gown from Berta, and Nine Cakes outdid herself with our incredible sugar flower wedding cake. The flowers look real! Stacie Ford and Nikki Avanzino made our APM model, Brittany into the stunning bride-to-be. Please Be Seated Events provided us with the table rentals and linens. Shira Savada from Shiramisu was our stylist who helped to bring our vision to life and make sure we were telling a cohesive story.
I’m so excited to share a few of my favorite wedding inspiration photos at the incredible Topping Rose House. With the flexibility to have your ceremony outside, outdoor cocktail hour by the pool and intimate reception inside the modern studio, I hope it helps inspire you too. Vendor credits are listed at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

Valley Rock Inn & Mountain Club Wedding Photos
With two reschedules, a new venue, and a date change, I’m so excited to share Rachel and Cameron’s beautiful wedding at Valley Rock Inn & Mountain Club located in the Hudson Valley, New York. The couple was gifted the absolute best weather from mother nature which proved to make their day even more magical.
The bride and groom hosted 50 family members and close friends to their intimate wedding under the canopy of leaves in the west garden. Rachel looked radiant in her wedding dress as the couple shared their first look privately near the ceremony site. Rachel and Cameron exchanged their wedding vows under the lush floral chuppah that was designed by Denise Fasanello Flowers. Once Cameron broke the glass and kissed his new bride, guests were treated to an outside cocktail hour in the rose garden before moving to the sailcloth tented reception next to the main lodge on the sprawling property.
Sometimes things happen for a reason, and even though their wedding wasn’t how they originally envisioned it to be, it turned out better than they could have imagined. I’m so glad I was able to be there for my wonderful couple and support them while they navigated a new (temporary) normal. It was an honor to be with Rachel and Cameron on their wedding day and delighted to share a few of my favorite images.
Their wedding was also featured on Wedding Sparrow - A Fine Art Curated Wedding blog.
