When it became clear that big weddings were not going to be happening in 2020, most couples decided to postpone their wedding. Michaela and Micheal made the tough decision early on to push back their Spring wedding to the Fall, and then ultimately to the following year.
However, within a few weeks, they realized that they didn’t want to wait another 365 days to get married and decided to host a micro wedding in the Hamptons within a few short weeks. They invited only their immediate family which consisted of 12 guests total including their adorable nieces and nephews.
Their immediate family stayed together for a week at a private estate in Montauk that had ocean views and quick beach access. The couple’s intimate wedding ceremony was held at St. Peter the Apostle Mission Church in Amagansett and they even brought in fresh white hydrangeas for the special occasion.
There is something so magical about a small, intimate, and meaningful wedding ceremony. Everyone was emotional and elated with joy once the newlyweds were officially pronounced husband and wife (yourself included!)
After Michaela and Michael were married, we headed to the beach to catch the light for their bride and groom photos. Once back at the Estate, the couple listened to live music from their wedding band Cafe Wha and danced on the lawn with their immediate family. Capturing the Brides Father’s speech welcoming his new son-in-law was very emotional and moving but I think the Groom’s love letter to his new bride stole the show.
I’m honored and grateful for the opportunity to have been part of their micro wedding in Montauk. My team and I were careful and followed COVID guidelines to capture their wedding day as if it was planned this way all along. I’m so happy they decided not to wait to get married and we’re all looking forward to their bigger celebration later this Fall.
