YUM! | The Food of Tarrytown House

I recently visited the Tarrytown House to capture the deliciousness they serve up on a daily basis.  I was salivating throughout this entire shoot and you can tell why - everything looks absolutely amazing!

Do yourselves a favor and visit Tarrytown House firsthand and get a taste of heaven!

Tarrytown House Estate and Conference Center
49 E. Sunnyside Lane, Tarrytown, NY 10591

I would also like to give a special shout out to my totally awesome assistant for the day, Jaime (my lovely, funny, and amazing sister in law).  Without you I would have not stayed hydrated throughout the shoot and I probably would have eaten everything =)











Don't forget to make your way downstairs to check out Cellar 49 - Tarrytown House's tavern at the mansion.  If you have a special event coming up, Tarrytown offers private dining in there Cellar Room.  I don't think I could concentrate on the food with all the wine surrounding me =)














And if you are one of the lucky ones you celebrate your big wedding day or other big event at Tarrytown, you will be treated to a delicious array of foods at Tarrytown's cocktail hour.

MARRIED 2013 | Denise + Vincent - Tarrytown House

I'm so happy to finally share this beautiful wedding with you straight from Tarrytown House in, you guessed it, Tarrytown, NY.  This wedding was especially exciting for me to capture because I was able to witness an old friend marry the man that she loves.  Denise and I have had been through grade school and High School together and although college and life found us going in separate directions, it took her marrying the handsome Vincent to brings us back together.  I am so very happy for the both of you and wish you a wonderful and fulfilling life together as husband and wife!

Denise prepares for her big day in the Irvington Suite at Tarrytown House.  Her very talented, soon to be Sister in Law, Nicole, helped Denise to get all dolled up.




Denise's beautiful mother, Teresa, getting all glamorous for the occasion.


Her beautiful J. Crew wedding dress- I loved the detail on it so much and Denise rocked it!




Denise and her soon to be Sister in Law, Ryann.

Nothing like a bride getting down and dirty and steaming her dress before the wedding!

Denise best friend and Maid of Honor, Vanessa, helps her into her gown.

Love the detail on this beautiful J. Crew!



Denise is stunning and ready to get married!


We head to the Immaculate Conception Church for the main event.


The handsome Vincent awaits his bride.

I want you to meet Tyler and keep that cutie pie face in mind.  You'll be seeing a lot of him later on =)

A friend of the happy couple plucks a beautiful melody to accompany Denise down the aisle.


Vincent sees Denise and is immediately brought to tears - and in turn, so was I.











I imagine Tyler saying "Don't worry people., Uncle Vinnie's got this".

You are now husband and wife!


Since Mother Nature decided to hit the Northeast with just one last snow storm, we made our way inside the walls of Tarrytown and took a moment to capture some portraits of the two love birds.






That is one big, happy family!






Adding a little Peruvian flair to the evening, this adorable cake topper accompanied the delicious cake provided by Sweet Lisa's.



The guests enjoyed a delicious cocktail hour before entering the main room for the reception.




The couple shares their first dance.



After the first dance, the guests waste no time getting this party started.

Told you to remember this little guy.  Tyler literally did not stop dancing from the time he entered the reception to the minute it ended!




A delectable buffet was set up for the guests consisting of a traditional Peruvian cuisine, sliders, and Arthur Avenue bread (mmmm Arthur Avenue bread).




Father of the Groom, the Maid of Honor, and Best Man share a little wisdom and funny stories of the newly married couple.



The Best Man Carlos loves his big sister =)



Might be my favorite photo of the evening.  I can't take this kid lol.



Let them eat cake (and chocolate covered strawberries, and berry tarts, and red velvet cupcakes, and every delicious looking dessert on the planet!)
