[Wedding] Alison & Greg – Riviera in Massapequa, NY

What’s better than getting married at the tail end of Cherry Blossoms season? Not very much, I’m willing to bet. With the magnolias in full bloom, Alison & Greg headed over to SUNY Farmingdale for a quick photo session to take advantage of the fact that it hadn’t really started raining yet (misting was in the forecast, but I can still safely claim that it generally doesn’t rain when it’s time for me to shoot!). Upon arriving, all I could say was “wow”. Alison & Greg later held their ceremony and reception nearby at the gorgeous grounds of the Riviera in Massapequa, and the relatively calm weather held out! Winnah-winnah chicken dinnah :).
