This was my first time shooting at the beautiful DeSeversky Mansion in Long Island NY.

What a gorgeous spot!  It was wonderful to work with the whole crew there.

When we got there, we found out that the couple had chosen some wreaths designed by our dear friend Beth from Grasmere.
What a nice surprise! She does the most amazing arrangements (sorry, no weddings) and their store is filled with beautiful treasures. Stop by, if you are in the area.

This original one shouldered gown is from L’Elite from Boston.

This wedding was all about the finest details.

At the last moment before the ceremony the “Something Blue” handkerchief was no where to be seen

Semia Dunne of FLOWERS by SEMIA came up the stairs with this amazing solution …

What made this wedding so unique was that the  flowers  came from the  gardens of the property.

They were so beautifully arranged by Semia Dunne of FLOWERS by SEMIA.

Sarah & Micheal at Glen Manor

Monday, June 20th, 2011

It was so great to see Katie and Don at the Glen Manor House for Sarah & Micheal’s wedding.

Let me introduce you to the beautiful Sarah …

(c) M Benedicte Verley Photography

I love to see a bride who is not necessarily used to being fussed over,

and  then, mysteriously,  just blossoming in all her beauty and grace …

After witnessing so many weddings I can say with authority that something happens to a bride

on her wedding day … this is the magic that I love …

(c) M Benedicte Verley Photography

My sweet friend and Make up Artiste Robin McAloon did it once again …  simple and elegant.

Robin has the gift of making women even more beautiful in the most natural way.

She is the one I turn to when ever I have a fashion assignment …
