Springtime Mallard Island Yacht Club Wedding | Lauren & Andrew

A huge congratulations to Lauren and Andrew!! This May, Lauren and Andrew held the most elegant wedding day at Mallard Island Yacht Club. Their wedding day was emotional and so beautiful – with the prettiest blue and white details everywhere. Not to mention – Lauren and Andrew are incredibly stylish and they were certainly one of my best dressed couples. I cannot wait for you to see their gorgeous Spring Mallard Island Yacht Club wedding!!! 

Spring Wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club 

All of Lauren and Andrew’s wedding day took place at Mallard Island Yacht Club, which I happen to love! The getting ready suites for couples at Mallard Island are just beautiful! I photographed Lauren getting ready with her family and bridesmaids. Her wedding gown was actually made of two pieces to create her gorgeous bridal look. She paired her fit and flare gown with ivory silk gloves to complete her look. Andrew looked equally dapper in a black suit with his Louboutin shoes. They looked SO good together! Lauren and Andrew wanted to do a first look, so we did that in the chapel at Mallard Island Yacht Club. I love doing first looks there because it’s a quiet and private space. I also really love the backdrop it provides! Andrew started to tear up before he even saw his beautiful bride, and definitely got emotional once he did. It was the sweetest!! 

New Jersey Wedding Day

We took advantage of the beautiful weather for portraits outside for the bride and groom – and their bridal party. Lauren’s bridesmaids wore gorgeous silk gowns in the lightest shade of blue. She and her bridesmaids carried bouquets of ivory flowers with pops of blue, which were so beautiful. These shades of blue are so pretty for Spring weddings!! My favorite part of the day might have been after their ceremony, though. The sun was beginning to set and I stole Lauren and Andrew away for portraits on the dock outside Mallard Island Yacht Club. With the help of their amazing videography team, Delia Studios, we captured one of my favorite photos of the night – an incredible drone shot of them in the back of the venue on the water! It was perfect!! 

After their sunset portraits and a quiet moment together, Lauren and Andrew had their first dance and kicked off the reception. Their party was SO much fun and I love that Lauren’s dad made his speech in a Rangers jersey (Lauren’s favorite team!). It was a sweet nod to their special relationship and definitely made everyone emotional. Afterwards, Lauren made a dress change –  swapping out a shorter skirt and sheer gloves for the rest of the celebration. She looked amazing, and everyone was saying how much she resembles Hailey Bieber! What a compliment!

Congratulations again, Lauren and Andrew! I loved capturing your beautiful Spring wedding day. It was stunning and I wish you both so much love and happiness!
