Alyssa and JC’s Glen Island Harbor Club wedding was a perfect example of why this venue is one of our favorite waterfront wedding locations in Westchester. From a traditional church ceremony to a lively reception overlooking the Long Island Sound, the day unfolded beautifully and gave us endless opportunities to create timeless, light-filled wedding photographs.

The combination of a classic ceremony, a large joyful wedding party, and one of the most dramatic sunsets we have seen at Glen Island made this wedding especially memorable for our team who captured both the wedding photos and videos.

Getting Ready Photos in Westchester

The day began with getting ready photos split between the bride and groom’s locations. The bride prepared at a SpringHill Suites in Tuckahoe, surrounded by close family and friends. These moments are always some of our favorites to photograph, quiet, emotional, and full of anticipation. A first look with her dad and bridesmaids added an extra layer of meaning and produced some of the most heartfelt images of the morning.

The groom got ready at his family home in Cortlandt Manor, which allowed for relaxed, personal photos that reflected his upbringing and family dynamic. Moments like a father helping with a bowtie or siblings laughing together create photographs that feel deeply personal and authentic.

Ceremony at St. Augustine Church in Ossining

The ceremony took place at St. Augustine Church in Ossining, a beautiful setting for a traditional Catholic wedding. We focused on clean, consistent compositions during the ceremony, making sure family portraits afterward were formal, polished, and timeless.

Church weddings like this are a reminder of how important experience is, knowing where to stand, how to work with available light, and how to move efficiently so nothing is missed while still being respectful of the space.

Bridal Party and Family Portraits at Glen Island Harbor Club

After the ceremony, everyone made their way to Glen Island Harbor Club in New Rochelle. This venue is ideal for large wedding parties and extended family photos, with plenty of space and stunning architectural backdrops.

We photographed bridal party portraits both outside and throughout the venue, using the sweeping staircases, waterfront paths, and elegant interior spaces. These images strike a balance between structured group photos and relaxed, candid moments that reflect the energy of the day.

Sunset Wedding Photos at Glen Island Harbor Club

The sunset photos were a true highlight. Glen Island Harbor Club is known for its sunset views, but this evening delivered something especially special, a glowing pink and gold sky that reflected perfectly off the water.

With careful lighting techniques and thoughtful positioning, we were able to preserve the richness of the sky while keeping skin tones natural and flattering. This is where experience really matters. Sunset photography at waterfront venues can be tricky, but when done correctly, the results feel cinematic and timeless.

These sunset portraits are the kind of images couples dream of when they choose Glen Island Harbor Club, romantic, dramatic, and unmistakably New York.

Cocktail Hour and Reception Photography

During cocktail hour, our focus shifted to candid guest interactions, atmosphere, and details. This wedding had a lively guest list, and we made sure to capture as many faces and moments as possible while allowing the couple to enjoy time with their friends and family.

The reception continued the energy of the day, with a packed dance floor, heartfelt speeches, and elegant details throughout the space. We always aim to document receptions in a way that feels true to the experience, not overly staged, but full of life and emotion.
