Emily and Marc’s Yacht Club Wedding || Groton Long Point, CT

Emily and marc’s story.

Emily and Marc were married last Saturday with a ceremony and reception at the Groton Long Point Yacht Club.

Their love story begins by meeting through mutual friends during freshman year at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. They were friends for a year before the stars aligned just right and they  started to inevitably fall for each other. Emily loves how passionate Marc is whether it’s surfing, working, or relationships with family and friends.  He shows passion in everything that he does. Marc loves how genuine, quirky and kind Emily is and it was an extra bonus that she loves being outdoors as much as he does.

Dreamy Flower Field Proposal

The day started with Marc making Emily an amazing breakfast before they headed to the Carlsbad Flower Fields to adventure around. The flower fields are 50 acres of flowers surrounding you in every direction with breathtaking beauty. They had lunch and practiced acroyoga and then watched the sunset near the cliffs of the flower fields overlooking the ocean. Marc picked the perfect place and told Emily that he wanted their adventure to last a lifetime and popped the question.

A Stormy, Spring Wedding

Their wedding day started out beautiful with the sun in the sky and no clouds in sight. That afternoon when I got to where Emily was getting ready there was a heavy rain shower and the sky was a dark gray. When it was time to do the first look, the sky had opened and the rain had stopped within minutes of us going outside. We followed the first look with family portraits right on the water with a beautiful foggy backdrop. The ceremony was moved inside the tent so we all tucked away and watched Emily and Marc exchange vows with their loved ones surrounding them.

A Groton Long Point Casino Reception

The reception was held inside the yacht club with views overlooking the water in both directions. The wedding party was introduced and the speeches began. Marc’s twin brother Philip had the whole room echoing with laughter and delivered a hilarious speech to his brother and new sister-in-law.

After all the formalities, the dancing began and the party started. You could tell this group of friends and family had many late night dance parties in the past. Everyone was having so much fun shaking and grooving together. A dance circle opened up where the groomsmen had some serious dance-offs and showed their epic dance moves.

I snuck out with Emily and Marc to get a few more portraits during sunset and the clouds started rolling back in. Right after we finished portraits and went back inside, the rain starting coming down again. I think it was incredible timing for the rain to stop minutes before their first look and then start back up minutes after our last photo. It was like the clouds were joining together and protecting that little part of GLP that day.

Emily and Marc, what a blessing it was to share your most perfect celebration and for you to have invited me into your hearts. Your friends and family that surround you are some of the best and are a reflection of how great you both are. I’m happy to now call you friends and hope to see you on the East Coast soon!

Long Point Yacht Club Wedding | Destination Wedding Photography | Abby and Sam McGrath

groton long point yacht club wedding

Abby & Sam’s story is one of my absolute favorites. Abby, the Olympic diver and Sam, a talented collegiate athlete himself, both met at Duke. She attends Duke medical school and Sam is the Duke assistant football coach so it stands to reason that these two would meet on campus no? Wrong! Actually, these two met through a kismet accident. At Duke, you are issued a school ID. As luck or fate would have it, Abby seemed to have lost her Duke ID somewhere on campus. Sam, being the observant guy that he is, happened to stumble upon said ID and sent this modern day damsel-in-distress an email. He not only returned her ID but asked her on a date as well!

Dates turned into a relationship which eventually turned into adopting an adorable puppy, Mookie, and building a home together. Sam proposed to Abby on the beach in Connecticut. He not only presented her a ring but asked her to marry him with the lost ID… her new last name taped over the front. The two got married at the Long Point Yacht club, just walking distance away from where she said “yes.” We actually took portraits at the very spot he got down on one knee. 

This wedding holds a special place in my heart because Abby and Sam have become dear friends. Ben and I were lucky enough to attend their rehearsal dinner. Speech after speech showed how incredible these two people are, not only in their professional lives but as good, kind loving people as well. This was also by far one of the most fun weddings I have ever attended. People danced all night and it was a blast having the Duke crew in front of my camera. Here are my favorite images from the day (including some pizza rolls at the end!)
