Are you looking for a bit of Hamptons wedding inspiration? Our story of Lilly and Niklas is a classic story of an elegant summer wedding in the Hamptons, captured by Images by Berit. The fantastic couple celebrated their love with a personal and chic wedding in Water Mill, NY, marrying in their own backyard. Choosing a natural pallet of greens, browns, and earth tones, the intimate ceremony bespoke of a verdant enchanted forest with an air of summer romance. I was humbled when Lilly, who had referred me to her sister seven years earlier to document her wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, called me when she became engaged to see which dates I had available. This type of trust between a photographer and her client is incredibly important. Right from the start Lilly really enabled us both to achieve and capture hers and Niklas’s vision for their day.

Lilly also smartly worked with a notable Manhattan-based wedding planner Save-the-Date and florist Kim Jon Designs to assure that couples playful personalities and love for the Hamptons (which was where they spent many summer weekends happily cultivating their relationship) was poignantly conveyed. I was lucky enough to be able to document the entire wedding weekend, from the beautiful, South Beach style clambake on the beach the night before to the brunch held at Lillys aunt’s house the following morning. All three events were done with great attention to detail. This investment enabled Niklas and Lilly to relive the full story of their singular weekend, ensuring that all of the special moments were professionally and beautifully documented.
