The Yale Club Wedding – Ashley and Joe

We have to begin by saying that Ashley and Joe are one of those rare kind, beautiful and fun couples who are truly hard to encounter nowadays! It was such a pleasure and honor to witness their Yale Club wedding and to make friends with them and with the whole bridal party. We felt like we became family, and that means a lot! It wasn’t our first time working at the elegant Yale Club, but each time we visit we become enamored with the venue all over again! There’s truly a very small number of venues that can stand up to The Yale Club’s customer service and professionalism. It was the absolute perfect location for the most important day in the lives of Ashley and Joe.

Our favorite things about Ashley and Joe’s Yale Club wedding:

  • Ashley looked breathtaking in her sweetheart neckline wedding dress. The dress’s beaded top provided just the right touch of glamour, and her gorgeous updo added to her elegant look. Joe looked as dapper as can be with his black suit and bow tie. Everyone in the bridal party looked amazing… and you could clearly see that they were having the time of their lives!
  • The couple’s touching wedding ceremony was witnessed by an intimate group of family members and closest friends – making the day so very special.
  • The table settings and reception decor were the definition of sophistication! The gorgeous centerpiece with pastel-hued blooms, along with the classic wedding cake, added a sophisticated look to the reception. Every detail was so impressive!
  • The Yale Club was the ideal venue for the couple’s wedding because of its understated elegance, timelessness, and warmth.
Ashley and Joe, thank you for the opportunity to take these photos of your most important day. We wish nothing but the best for you both as you embark on the next chapter of your lives together!
