Stephanie and Chris got married on a rainy day in Babylon, New York. This chilly winter day was not the wedding day they’d initially planned, but it was an amazing one. Switching plans at the very last minute, these two had an incredible Long Island wedding in Argyle Park, Babylon.

We started the day at Stephanie and Chris’s old apartment. They were in the process of moving into a new home together, so getting ready in this apartment was the perfect way to start saying goodbye to their space. As Stephanie did her makeup, we photographed the details of the day. It’s important to us to photograph things like bridal shoes, any jewelry, rings, stationery, and the dress. These little things will be remembered down the line in the detail photos.
