Gold Coast | Esvy Photography & Films - NYC, Brooklyn, Long Island, & Tri-State Wedding Photographers

If you’ve ever read “The Great Gatsby” or seen the movie, you know that it’s set on Long Island’s Gold Coast. And there is no venue on Long Island that embodies the spirit and elegance of Gatsby as Oheka Castle. It’s a one of kind venue and serves as a location for many shows, movies, music videos and, of course, weddings. So when Michelle first contacted us about photographing her wedding at Oheka, you know it’s going to be an an elegant affair.

The day was pretty much perfect! Blue skies, warm temps and everything pretty much went exactly as planned! Michelle & Frank could not have asked for a more perfect day.

Michelle and Frank are also 1 of the sweetest couples! They were so chill and relaxed for much of the day! They also have 1 of the cutest flower girls that we’ve ever photographed at a wedding! And I’m so glad that they chose us to be their photographer and cinematographer! I wish all clients could be as cool as them!

If you’re living in the greater NYC area, you know how unpredictable the weather has been of late. One day it’s mid 80s and the next it’s in the 50s. Mother Nature cannot seem to make up her mind. Such was the case for Deb & Alex’s wedding day. The forecast was calling for rain and as the day began, there were some dark clouds in the sky. As the morning went on, light drops of rain decided to fall from the sky and I was beginning to worry how we were going to accomplish the portraits at the Vanderbilt Mansion. When we arrived at the Mansion, the rain started to increase and then, miraculously, when we started the 1st Look and the portraits, the rain stopped. Thank you, Mother Nature! And I felt like the rain held off as long is it could, b/c 20-30 minutes before the outdoor ceremony was supposed to begin at the Thatched Cottage, the skies opened up and the rain came down in buckets!!! Thankfully, the Thatched Cottage has a backup room to conduct the ceremony!

And we’d like to say a special Thank You to our new Senior Photographer, Quinn, for doing a fabulous job. Many of the photos featured in this blog post are her photos.
