Rayna and Damian’s outdoor fall wedding at The View in Tully, NY was an absolute dream from start to finish. The warm autumn light paired with the joy that filled the air made their day feel magical. The View is such a gorgeous setting for a wedding, with its rolling golf course views and peaceful pond, and it was the perfect backdrop for this celebration.

When I arrived, we jumped right into photos with Rayna and her bridesmaids. She looked stunning surrounded by her girls, and the energy was all laughter and excitement. Soon after, got Rayne is place for her father-daughter first look with both her dad and stepdad. It was such a tender, emotional moment, and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.

We hid Rayna back inside, and it was Damian’s turn for photos with his groomsmen and sisters. They had so much fun together, and it set the perfect tone for the day ahead. Guests began to arrive and settle in for the outdoor wedding ceremony. The setting couldn’t have been more beautiful for an outdoor fall wedding ceremony, with a wooden pergola and a lush green backdrop. Rayna and Damian exchanged heartfelt vows, and a special reading from Rayna’s mom made the ceremony even more meaningful.

After the ceremony, we took family photos before heading out on the golf course with the wedding party. Their crew was full of laughter, and the golf course wedding photos we captured are some of my favorites. We pulled Rayna and Damian aside for some Bride and Groom photos. The light over the pond behind them was incredible and made for the most stunning fall wedding photos.

Once everyone was inside, the newlyweds made their grand entrance and shared their first dance. Rayna’s dad gave a sweet toast before dinner, and we captured plenty of candid moments as guests mingled and enjoyed the evening. After dinner, the sun started to set, filling the sky with golden light, so we ran outside for a few sunset wedding photos. The colors were breathtaking, and it was the perfect way to document the moment and their love.

When we returned, the Maids of Honor and Best Man shared sweet and funny toasts, then the newlyweds made their way around the room to get table photos with all their guests. One of the most touching parts of the night was the Remembrance Dance for Damian’s father. It started as a quiet, emotional moment, and then more people joined in, surrounding the couple with love.

The rest of the night was pure celebration. The dance floor stayed packed, laughter filled the room, and everyone enjoyed cake before the evening came to a close.

Rayna and Damian, thank you so much for letting me be part of your day. Your fall wedding was beautiful in every way, and I’m wishing you both all the happiness in the world.
