The Halyard at Sound View
Wedding venue in Greenport, NY
Wedding venue in Greenport, NY
A hotel and restaurant set right on Long Island Sound outside Greenport, with the beach and open water at the door.
Water changes the light. We plan couple portraits for the last hour before sunset where the schedule allows, and keep an eye on wind for anything near the shoreline.
Sand and open sky are bright, so early evening is usually the best time for portraits, when the light softens and the glare drops.
