Morgan & Darren, June 16, 2023, The Wire Event Center, Coxsackie, NY
We had been anticipating this Wedding coming up since it was a brand new Wedding Venue to our area. Morgan and Darren booked The Wire Event Center before it was completely built. We were excited to photograph their day and new spot. The hotel on site was still under construction, so the Bride got ready on the the second floor of Patrick Henry’s across the parking lot. There was so much space up there for the girls getting their hair and makeup done and we even had use of a 3 sided glass room for some amazing natural light shots. After Morgan was dressed, we used this space to capture some stunning images of her. Darren and his guys were getting ready in the wedding suite at the venue. He finished getting dressed and had a quick toast with his guys; then headed to the First Look location. Meg brought Morgan over to the venue and she had a pretty emotional first reveal with her dad before seeing the Groom for their First Look. The weather called for showers all day but we made it outside for all of the couple’s portraits and even did the Wedding Party pics before it started to sprinkle. The nice thing about the Wire is their cocktail hour room has huge floor to ceiling windows which bring in so much light and also has amazing views of the Hudson River. We did all the family portraits in there. Just before the Ceremony time, the rain stopped. We were so happy that the couple were able to have their outside ceremony on the river. The couple’s dog even made an appearance during the Ceremony. Guests moved to Cocktail Hour indoors and were welcomed with a Champagne Wall and the sounds of a water fountain. The space in the ballroom is very large and if you’re looking for a good sized dance floor; they’ve got it. Guests enjoyed Mazzone Hospitality food and music played by DJ Nate. After formal dances, Morgan changed into another gown for dancing. Morgan and Darren, it was such a pleasure celebrating you both on your big day. Congratulations again.
