Michaela and Matteo got married on Lake Mahopac in Putnam County on May 11, 2024. Blue sky, big clouds and the lake right behind the wedding party. It was the kind of spring day you hope for.
Getting ready
Michaela got ready with a white bow in her hair and her bridesmaids in sage green satin, and there were a few tears when family came in to see her. Matteo and his groomsmen got ready in black tuxedos.
The ceremony
Michaela walked down the aisle to Matteo under an arch of white flowers at the foot of a grand white staircase, and the kiss got a lot of cheering from the steps.
Portraits and a party
We took the wedding party out by the water and the stone wall waterfall, then grabbed a few quiet frames of the two of them inside. The reception was a party from the first song: kids on the dance floor, everyone singing along and a cake cutting that ended in a kiss.
Getting married north of the city?
Putnam and Westchester are an easy trip from NYC, and a lakeside venue gives you portraits you can’t get in the city. If you’re planning a wedding up there, we’d love to hear about it.
