Kristin and Michael’s Small, Intimate Town Hall Wedding
If you’re dreaming of a small, heartfelt wedding that focuses on what truly matters — the two of you — an Islip Town Hall wedding might be exactly what you’re looking for. Kristin and Michael chose this simple yet meaningful route, surrounded by just their closest family and friends. Their day was intimate, emotional, and proof that you don’t need a grand ballroom to have a beautiful celebration — just love, laughter, and the right photographer to capture it all.

The ceremony took place inside the charming Islip Town Hall, followed by a cozy dinner reception at Whalers in Bayshore. Every part of their day reflected genuine connection — from tearful vows to joyful toasts shared over dinner.
As their photographer, I loved documenting those candid moments: the stolen glances, the nervous laughter, and the warmth of family gathered close. Smaller weddings like this allow for a relaxed, documentary-style approach that feels authentic and timeless.
After the ceremony, we headed to the iconic Captree State Park for portraits. Between the quiet breeze and soft sunset light, the photos from this session turned into some of my favorites — simple, emotional, and full of heart.
There’s something so refreshing about couples who skip the big production and focus on what’s real. I’ve photographed multiple Islip Town Hall weddings, and each one proves how beautiful simplicity can be. Whether you’re planning a quick elopement or a micro-wedding with loved ones, I’ll guide you through every moment — from navigating the Town Hall process to choosing the perfect nearby photo spot (hint: Captree is magic).
