Costa Wedding

As a wedding photographer, capturing this spring celebration in Parksville, New York, was an absolute dream. The Shawna & Blake's backyard ceremony, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees, provided a perfect, natural setting that was as intimate as it was breathtaking. The soft light filtering through the branches created the most magical atmosphere, giving every shot a warm, glowing touch. It was clear from the start that this couple had a deep connection to their land, and the landscape became a reflection of their love story. Every moment— from the emotional vows to the joyful smiles—was beautifully framed by nature’s canvas, making it an incredibly rewarding experience.

As I photographed the celebration beneath the trees, with the water’s gentle reflection adding a dreamlike quality, I couldn’t help but feel how special this place was to the couple and their families. The natural surroundings blended effortlessly with the rustic charm of the evening, as guests mingled, laughed, and danced under the stars. The intimate, family-owned land provided such a personal and unique backdrop that it made each photo feel more meaningful. Capturing those candid moments of joy, love, and connection—set against the beauty of this incredible location—was truly a photographer’s paradise.
