A real wedding reception on Long Island
A wedding reception at The Fox Hollow
Patricia and Joshua celebrated their October 6 wedding reception at The Somerley at Fox Hollow in Woodbury, New York. Strings of lights crossed the room above them, with candles along the stone wall and across the tables. This selection follows their arrival, portraits in the reception room and the evening on the dance floor, then a few photographs from their ceremony at a private home.
The wedding photographs
An evening at The Somerley
The photographs move from a first look at the reception room to the celebration with their guests. Wider views show the setting, while the closer frames pick out candlelight, flowers and the two of them together. Open any photograph to explore it at full size.
Arriving, then taking a moment together
Patricia and Joshua step into the room in their wedding clothes, then take in the lights and tables. Before the reception fills the space, the same room becomes the background for a few couple portraits.
Candlelight, glass and stone
Candles reflect through the glasses on the tables. White flowers and a tiered cake sit against the room's warm stone, with a wider view showing guests seated among those details.
The room fills with movement
Guests gather around the dance floor as Patricia and Joshua celebrate. A turn in Patricia's dress, a quieter dance photograph and a portrait with a guest each hold a different part of the evening. The story ends with cake and a busy dance floor.
The ceremony and portraits at a private home
Patricia and Joshua married on the lawn of a private home before their reception. These photographs were taken there, not at The Fox Hollow.
This page concentrates on their Fox Hollow reception. The ceremony photographs near the end were taken at a private home, not at the venue. The full gallery follows more of Patricia and Joshua's wedding day. Opens in a new tab.

The venue
The Somerley at Fox Hollow
The Somerley's official website describes it as a private wing on the Fox Hollow estate, with its own entrance, a cocktail lounge and a ballroom. The venue also describes vaulted glass ceilings and French doors opening to gardens.
Patricia and Joshua's reception photographs show the room with strings of lights overhead, a stone wall, candles and space for dancing. This is a look at their particular reception setup. Ask the venue which spaces and arrangements apply to your own plans.
Venue-supplied information: the official venue website. Confirm current arrangements, access and availability directly with the venue.
Photography and film planning
Making room for reception photographs
These suggestions come from the photographs on this page. Confirm access, lighting and the evening's schedule with your venue, planner and photography and film team.
Plan a few photographs in the room
The couple portraits include the reception lights and tables before the room fills with guests. If this matters to you, ask whether your schedule can include a short portrait window before the reception begins.
Allow time for the tables
The table photographs bring the candlelight, glassware and flowers into the story. Let your team know which details matter to you and when the room will be ready to photograph.
Include the room and the people
The wider dance photographs show guests around Patricia and Joshua, while closer frames concentrate on the couple. Discuss space around the dance floor and the evening lighting so your team can plan both views.
