Pearl River Hilton Wedding Photos • Emily + Matthew

SHARE THIS STORY

Emily and Matthew’s Pearl River Hilton Wedding in New York, was one I’d been looking forward to for a long time. Emily’s enthusiasm throughout the year was so contagious I grew to love the details of their wedding day long before the actual day arrived.

It was a day filled with radiant smiles and laughter, special moments like a first look with her father and a lot of family heirlooms. A personal favorite were the amazing bouquets. I will always remember Emily’s excitement about her wedding gown – FEATHERS affixed to the bottom made it truly unique (and extra beautiful and delicate) and she was most looking forward to her first look with Matthew when he’d see the dress she picked for their memorable day. And I was the lucky one to capture it all!

“Something blue” was plentiful from Emily’s wedding day shoes, to her sparkling blue eyes, a sapphire and diamond bracelet borrowed from her mom and even a blue “evil eye” charm that was sewn into her gown. Pearl River Hilton wedding photos of Badgley Mischka something blue shoes.

Matthew prepared for the day with his groomsmen, father and future father-in-law. He gave all his groomsmen the awesome mini Jamboxes, by Jawbone, pictured above.Pearl River Hilton wedding photos.

Their wedding rings were engraved inside – Matthew’s was extra special and contained some original engraving from when his grandfather wed with it in 1945! Emily’s engagement ring is special too: her diamond is Matthew’s great grandmother’s.

I just love this bridal portrait of Emily. It’s so sweet, just like her! I love how it highlights the incredible detailed beadwork on the bodice of her Rosa Clara Soft gown. Pearl River Hilton wedding photos bridal portrait.

Full Aperture Floral nailed the flowers. They even put MINT leaves in some of them along with a personal favorite: Fiddlehead Ferns! (Those spiral things!)  mikkelpaige-pearl_river_hilton_wedding_photos-_0040 Pearl River Hilton wedding photos. Images by Mikkel Paige Photography, NYC wedding photographer.

Time to party! I loved what they created for the reception room. Mint green linens covered about 20 tables, which were adorned by beautiful table numbers and either a low centerpiece of flowers or taller tree centerpiece. Their sweetheart table and chairs were decorated with various flowers and these cute signs.Pearl River Hilton wedding party photos of reception chair signs.

Shortly after their wedding day they honeymooned in Greece. How dreamy is that?
