Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding | Jessica + Jesse
Happy Anniversary to Jessica and Jesse!
Sleepy Hollow Country Club Wedding – Some weddings feel like a reunion, and Jessica and Jesse’s wedding was exactly that.
We first met the Blumert family when we photographed Jessica’s brother Matthew’s wedding many years ago. Over the years, we stayed in touch, so when Jessica got engaged and reached out about her wedding date, I was thrilled to hear from her. Even better, I was still available. There’s something incredibly special about being invited back to photograph another wedding within the same family. It’s one of the greatest compliments a photographer can receive.
Jessica and Jesse chose the breathtaking Sleepy Hollow Country Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York, for their wedding celebration. This venue instantly became one of my favorite wedding venues in the New York area. The historic mansion, sweeping grounds, and timeless architecture create an atmosphere that is both grand and romantic. It’s easy to see why it has been featured in numerous television shows, movies, and music videos over the years such as the new Apple TV series – Your Friends and Neighbors, The Greatest Showman, 2009-present show The Good Wife, the 2006–2013 show 30 Rock, the 2009 television special Michael J. Fox: Adventures of an Incurable Optimist, Jennifer Anniston’s 2010 film The Bounty Hunter, and the music video of Beyoncé‘s 2011 song “Best Thing I Never Had“.
Every detail of the day reflected Jessica and Jesse’s elegant style. The beautiful floral arrangements, sophisticated décor, and stunning surroundings all came together perfectly. One of my favorite details was Jessica’s wedding gown. Not only was it absolutely gorgeous, but it also carried incredible family history—it was the very same dress worn by both her grandmother and her mother on their wedding days. Watching three generations connected through such a meaningful heirloom was truly special. The portrait we created on the grand staircase of the mansion remains one of my favorite images from the day.
Most of all, what I remember about this wedding is the love. The love between Jessica and Jesse, the love shared by their families, and the joy of everyone gathered together to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter.
Jessica and Jesse, thank you for allowing Bless and me to be part of your wedding day and for continuing to trust us with your family’s most important milestones. It was an honor to document your beautiful celebration.
We wish you both a lifetime filled with happiness, laughter, and countless wonderful memories together.
