A Celebration of Quiet Emotion and Lasting Joy

Megan and Patrick’s romantic Coindre Hall wedding in Huntington, NY, was filled with timeless elegance and heartfelt calm. Set against the historic architecture of this Long Island estate, their day unfolded with meaningful moments and emotional presence. Even the weather played its part. Rain clouds cleared just before the ceremony, creating a poetic sense of timing.

Getting Ready in Huntington

The morning began in separate hotel rooms, each filled with anticipation and thoughtful preparation. Megan, radiant and graceful, surrounded herself with quiet laughter and supportive energy. Her wardrobe choices reflected a timeless sense of style, blending classic elegance with personal touches. 

Patrick prepared with quiet focus, fully present as he looked ahead to the day.

Their parallel beginnings created a sense of balance and intention that carried through every part of the celebration.

Ceremony at Château at Coindre Hall

The ceremony took place outdoors in the estate’s courtyard. With ivy-covered stone walls and views of Huntington Harbor, the space felt like a romantic hideaway. Rain had fallen earlier, but by the time guests arrived, the skies had softened and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Megan and Patrick’s vows were heartfelt and sincere, shared in front of loved ones surrounded by natural beauty. The architecture and landscape framed the moment perfectly, offering a sense of intimacy and grace that defined the entire day.

Wedding Portraits on the Estate Grounds

After the ceremony, we explored the grounds for portraits. From the sweeping staircase to the textured walls, every location offered a stunning view and a chance to capture something real. The soft overcast light wrapped the couple in a warm glow, ideal for creating timeless and emotional images.

These portraits were more than photographs. They told the story of the day with elegance, subtlety, and feeling.

Reception with Intention

As the evening began, guests moved indoors to celebrate in Coindre Hall’s elegant reception space. The energy shifted from quiet reflection to joyful celebration. Speeches were heartfelt and full of personality, while the dance floor welcomed everyone to join in the fun.

From the first dance to the final song, the evening reflected Megan and Patrick’s connection and the joy shared by their families and friends.
