What makes a wedding venue unique? Starting out as a summer home for a wealthy businessman in 1879, The Glen Island Harbor Club has transformed into one of Westchester’s most sought-after wedding venues. Resting on a beautiful island and serving up sweeping views of New York’s famous bridged skyline, Glen Island is a dream location for couples and wedding photographers alike. You’ll find it hard to believe you’re still in New Rochelle watching waves break on the shore standing outside this spectacular catering hall. Because of its unique beauty, we’re highlighting the top 10 wedding photos taken at The Glen Island Harbor Club… Enjoy!
1. Getting Married At Glen Island Harbor Club
Glen Island has two great locations for on-site wedding ceremonies. Their indoor location (pictured above) is equipped with a grand piano and blissful panoramic views. It has an upscale and classy vibe for ceremonies of any size.
2. I Do, Too
The outdoor ceremony location is another great feature of this amazing wedding venue. The water backdrop combined with the candid smiles of the bride and groom land this image in our top 10.
3. Walking On Water
One of the best parts of having a wedding on an island? The water! The clouds are perfectly reflected in the water and the bride & groom are looking into the distance while holding hands… Amazing! This was an easy choice for our Top 10 Wedding Photos at Glen Island Harbor Club.
4. A Beautiful Day At Glen Island Park
Glen Island Park in New Rochelle is a wonderful place to take wedding pictures. I love how the sunlight peeks through the trees in this image, creating a very unique lighting profile for the bride and groom.
5. Arrive
Great wedding photography is a collection of intimate moments telling the story of a couple’s day. This is one of those intimate moments. A bride with her father in the back of a classic limo arriving at the reception hall. Timeless!
6. Thrive
A smiling bride in a stunning dress standing in GI’s classic entranceway make this photo an easy ‘pic’ for number six.
7. My Blue Heaven
A silhouette of a bride and groom married with striking lines and the color blue. All of these elements work together, giving this picture its own distinct atmosphere. The photo feels nostalgic and modern at the same time. It’s one of my favorite images from the ‘Glen Island Top 10’. Wonderful!
8. A Smile
A great wedding photographer blurs the line between posed portraits and candid shots. Even with the couple in this image posed, the photographer did a terrific job letting them relax. This technique allowed him to capture their incredible smiles creating this wonderful portrait. Read tips on how to look great in candid photos for your wedding or photoshoot here.
9. Party Time
My favorite part of The Hora is when the bride and groom are hoisted up in the chairs. This fun image is a nice addition to our Top 10 at the GI list.
10. Last Kiss
Who doesn’t love “LOVE” and sparklers? This photo was taken in the ballroom at the end of the couple’s wedding. We thought it would be a great place to close out our Glen Island Harbor Club Top 10 Best Wedding Photos.
