Theresa and Thomas | The Mansion at West Sayville | Long Island Wedding Photographer
I met Theresa and Tom a few months before their wedding, and I understood from the beginning that they wanted a guest-centered experience for their wedding. Understanding that really helped me to understand them - they are both so kind and incredibly thoughtful. Working with them and their wonderful family was a great experience for me.
I arrived at The Mansion at West Sayville before most, and I had an opportunity to walk around and photograph the details layed out by Carolyn Morin Flowers. The warm, natural colors and the great texture of all of the details were both subtle and stunning.
As Theresa was preparing upstairs, other members of the family were working out their roles for the day. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun and exciting.
Immediately before the ceremony, we had an opportunity to take some portraits of Theresa and her daughters.
The weather kept us inside for the day, and while the wedding ceremony was initially slated to be outside, it was still beautiful. The Mansion at West Sayville has a beautiful room that looks over the Long Island coastline. The guests were able to watch the ceremony while still enjoying the vista of the Great South Bay.
One of my favorite moments of the ceremony was when Theresa and her daughters along with Tom and his son poured sand in a picture frame of the three children. It was a nice moment in the ceremony, and it will be a wonderful memory in their home.
During the entrance and the first dance, Tommy’s Tunes started getting all of the guests ready to enjoy the rest of the evening.
The toasts were delivered by Tom’s brother and friends. All of them spoke to how kind and generous the bride and groom are.
The cake beautiful, and the texture, decorations, and color matched the decor of the room perfectly. I loved the cake topper.
The evening ended with guests enjoying a candy bar that Theresa created.
The entire wedding was a beautiful event. It was so evident that Theresa and Tom loved their family and friends and just wanted to be with them and for them to have a great time. I enjoyed working with Theresa and Tom, their family, and all of their guests. They are great people, and I really happy for both of them.
