A Classic Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding
Some wedding days feel like a movie, and Melissa and Brad’s Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding was exactly that — romantic, cinematic, and completely filled with joy. Set against the sweeping Hudson River and the iconic Vanderbilt mansion, their summer celebration was a perfect blend of historic elegance and heartfelt celebration.
A Dreamy Hudson Valley Wedding Setting
Sleepy Hollow Country Club is one of those venues that never stops inspiring me. Nestled along the Hudson River, the property offers sprawling golf course views, rolling hills, and architecture that feels both grand and intimate. The historic Vanderbilt mansion adds such a timeless presence — every corner feels rich with story and elegance.
For Melissa and Brad, this venue was the perfect backdrop. Their love story deserved something equally classic and meaningful, and this location delivered in every way.
An Outdoor Ceremony with Hudson River Views
Their ceremony took place outdoors, overlooking the Hudson River, with a soft summer breeze and golden sunlight filtering through the trees. Melissa walked down the aisle surrounded by florals in blues with pops of pink and cream, beautifully designed by Bastille Flowers NYC. The palette felt fresh, romantic, and perfect for a summer Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding.
As Melissa and Brad exchanged vows, there was so much emotion — happy tears, laughter, and that kind of quiet connection that only two people deeply in love share. It was one of those ceremonies where you could feel how supported and cherished they are by everyone around them.
Portraits Among Historic Architecture and Golf Course Views
We took full advantage of everything this venue has to offer. From the grand Vanderbilt mansion to the wide-open greens of the golf course, every location gave us a different kind of magic. The contrast of old-world architecture against the soft summer light created portraits that felt editorial yet deeply personal.
Melissa and Brad were absolute naturals together — relaxed, playful, and so clearly in love. Their portraits reflected exactly who they are: joyful, connected, and completely at ease with one another.
A Sunset Tented Reception Full of Love and Laughter
As the sun began to set, guests moved into the beautifully tented reception. The glow of the golden hour spilling across the lawn made everything feel warm and intimate, even with such a lively crowd. Monique Banks, their incredible planner, brought every detail together seamlessly — from the flow of the evening to the thoughtful design touches that made it all feel elevated yet welcoming.
Toasts were heartfelt, the dance floor was packed, and laughter echoed well into the evening. It was the kind of celebration that reminded me why I love documenting weddings — real moments, genuine emotion, and memories that will live on for generations.
A Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding to Remember
Melissa and Brad’s Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding was a true reflection of who they are: elegant, fun, and deeply rooted in love and family. From the Hudson River ceremony to the sunset-filled tented reception, every part of their day felt intentional, beautiful, and completely unforgettable.
Being able to photograph their wedding at one of my favorite venues, surrounded by so much joy, was truly an honor. Melissa and Brad, thank you for trusting me to tell your story — your day was nothing short of magic.
