Tara & Paul: Stony Point, Haverstraw Wedding Photography

When I met Tara, she said she really wanted to get a shot of her and her fiance Paul on their boat… after discussing her plans, I realized to get the shot she wanted, I would have to be on a boat as well!  I’m game for almost anything, so I was really looking forward to this wedding.  The church ceremony was very nice, and following that, we headed down to the PennyBridge Marina in Stony Point.  We had a great session with Tara and Paul along with the bridal party, then we headed onto the boat.  Their boat is named with their initials… PT Cruizin.  Now for their engagement session, we took pictures tied to the dock… but this past Saturday, we were out on the water, zippin’ and bouncing along the Hudson.  Following alongside us was the bridal party in their own boat.

After getting all the shots I needed whilst on Tara and Paul’s boat, I hopped onto the bridal party boat (carefully) in order to get some shots of the couple on their boat.  We took the boats down to Haverstraw and had the reception at the Haverstraw Elks Lodge which is a pretty cool venue right on the docks.  More shots of the bridal party, more fun, and then we went inside and party was jumping.  All the decorations fit the beach theme including the cake which looked like the beach, only much more edible.  Here are some of the fun images we captured with a truly fun bride and groom and their rockin’ bridal party.

Oh, and that first shot posted required me to lay down on the front of the boat… no, not while it was docked, but while on the choppy water… but the shot was worth the risk!  Congratulations once again, Tara and Paul!  It was a great afternoon and a great night!

Enjoy!  Be well.
