As New York wedding photographers, we get to witness love stories in all kinds of beautiful places—but there was something truly special about Mariangela and Cristos’ wedding in Bellport, NY. From the heartfelt moments to the epic dance party, their day was the perfect blend of intimacy and celebration.
Details & Getting Ready
The day started slow and sweet. Mariangela got ready surrounded by the most important women in her life—her bridesmaids and her daughter. There was laughter, a few happy tears, and that peaceful kind of excitement that builds as a once-in-a-lifetime moment approaches. Across town, Cristos prepped for the day with his groomsmen and his closest people in his life.
Ceremony
Their ceremony took place at the most charming Catholic church—small, warm, and full of character.
Cocktail Hour
And right after the ceremony? A quick detour that totally fit their vibe—a McDonald’s run. Yep, fries and all. It was the perfect little pause between the formalities and the party, and honestly, such a them moment that made the day even more memorable.
Mariangela surprised everyone by changing her hair into an elegant updo for the reception—a subtle yet stunning shift that gave her a fresh, elevated look for the evening festivities.
Reception
From there, the celebration moved to the cocktail hour, and let us tell you—it was unreal. Every type of food you could imagine was available. From fresh seafood to hand-passed hors d’oeuvres and gourmet stations, guests were treated to a culinary experience that felt more like a celebration of culture and abundance than just a pre-dinner snack.
After their plated dinner, the real party began. The dance floor never emptied. Surrounded by their favorite people, Mariangela and Cristos danced the night away—smiles wide and hearts completely full.
Every piece of the day felt like them—warm, welcoming, and filled with joy. We’re so honored we got to be a part of such a meaningful celebration and wish these two all the love and laughter in the world as they start this next chapter together.
