Photographers: Emma and Dimitri
Venue: Oheka Castle
When it comes to luxury weddings, Oheka Castle is in a league of its own. Nestled on Long Island, this iconic venue provides the perfect backdrop for editorial wedding photography. As one of New York’s top wedding photographers, I’ve had the honor of capturing countless unforgettable moments at this stunning location. This September, Dimitri and I had the privilege of photographing a breathtaking wedding for a gorgeous Jets Cheerleader and her charming groom. Here’s a glimpse into their perfect day.
The Venue: Why Oheka Castle Is the Epitome of Luxury
Oheka Castle’s grandeur is unmatched, making it one of the most sought-after venues for Long Island weddings. The estate’s meticulously manicured gardens, timeless architecture, and opulent interiors create a fairy-tale setting that elevates any wedding. As photographers, we are always inspired by the endless photo opportunities the grounds provide, from the dramatic staircases to the sunlit terraces and lush greenery. This couple’s vision for an elegant and romantic day aligned perfectly with Oheka’s ambiance.
Shooting at Oheka Castle allows us to blend traditional luxury wedding photography with an editorial edge. The natural light streaming through the castle’s expansive windows and the golden glow of the gardens in September made for stunning compositions that perfectly highlighted the couple’s love story.
The Couple: A Beautiful Bond Worth Celebrating
From the moment we met the bride and groom, it was evident how deeply in love they were. The bride, a radiant Jets Cheerleader, exuded confidence and grace, while her groom’s adoration for her was unmistakable. Their connection was palpable, and it was a joy to capture their chemistry through our lenses.
The couple’s decision to embrace Oheka’s picturesque grounds allowed us to explore creative angles and unique backdrops. Whether it was a romantic shot under the archways or playful moments by the fountains, each frame told a story of their vibrant personalities and shared joy.
The Day: Perfect Weather and Perfect Moments
September gifted us with flawless weather—a gentle breeze and golden sunlight that complemented the castle’s natural beauty. The ceremony was a heartfelt exchange of vows surrounded by loved ones, set against the grandeur of Oheka’s gardens. Following the ceremony, the couple’s portraits became a highlight of the day.
We spent time capturing candid moments, dreamy close-ups, and wide shots showcasing the full splendor of the venue. Dimitri and I worked seamlessly to ensure no detail went unnoticed—from the intricate lace on the bride’s dress to the groom’s polished style. Every detail was a testament to their exquisite taste.
