The celebration began with their rehearsal dinner at Sound View in Greenport where friends and family gathered to share heartfelt speeches, laughter, and happy tears. It set the tone perfectly for the weekend — full of love and presence.
The morning of the wedding, Hope got ready at an beautiful house overlooking the marsh and water. The space felt peaceful and bright, filled with the energy of her nieces and nephews running around — the people she adores most. Thomas got ready nearby at The Harbor Front Inn, where he and his best friends looked out over the golf course and shared quiet moments before the day began.
Their first look took place on the balcony, and it couldn’t have been more magical. The wind off the water, the soft light, and the calm excitement between them created such a sweet and genuine moment. They shared a quiet hello before practicing their first dance — just the two of them, completely in their own world.
Their ceremony felt deeply personal, with their dog walking down the aisle to join them. Surrounded by whimsical florals and a relaxed, coastal energy, the atmosphere was pure happiness. Hope and Thomas were fully present throughout the day — soaking in every laugh, tear, and hug.
As the sun set over the vineyards, guests gathered for an intimate dinner reception filled with stunning design details, incredible speeches, and the best kind of energy. A live band carried the night, and everyone danced beneath the string lights and stars.
It was one of those weddings that felt effortless and true — the kind that reminds you how beautiful it is when people celebrate love in their own authentic way.
