There are brides who wear their dress. And then there are brides who own it completely. Ashley Torres was undeniably the latter. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of The Piermont, her strapless lace mermaid gown hugging every curve, her cathedral veil cascading behind her, and a soft blush and cream bouquet in her hands — she was, in a word, breathtaking. This was the kind of bridal moment that stops you mid-breath and reminds you exactly why you became a wedding photographer.
Ashley and Jonathon's wedding at The Piermont was everything a luxury Long Island wedding should be — romantic, elegant, full of genuine emotion, and absolutely stunning from start to finish. From the intimate bridal portraits in the soft window light to the glowing amber reception hall where they shared their first dance, every chapter of their day was rich with beauty and meaning. Eyesight Studio was honored to be there for every single moment of it.
The Venue: Why The Piermont Is One of Long Island's Premier Wedding Venues
If you're searching for a luxury wedding venue on Long Island, The Piermont belongs at the very top of your list. Located in Babylon, New York, this waterfront venue is renowned for its stunning panoramic views, sophisticated interiors, and the kind of warm, golden-amber ambiance that makes wedding photography absolutely extraordinary.
The grand interior staircase alone — with its marble steps, gold railing, and soaring coffered ceilings — is one of the most photogenic spots on Long Island. It's the kind of architectural detail that elevates a couple's portrait from beautiful to iconic. The reception hall, with its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, warm uplighting, tall floral centerpieces, and candlelit tables set with silver Chiavari chairs, creates an atmosphere that feels both grand and intimately romantic at the same time.
For Eyesight Studio as Long Island and NYC wedding photographers, The Piermont is a venue that consistently delivers exceptional results. The variety of backdrops, the quality of light throughout the day, and the seamless flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception make it a dream location to work in — and the photos always reflect that.

Ashley & Jonathon: A Love Story Worth Celebrating
From the very first look at Ashley and Jonathon together, you could feel it — this was a couple deeply, joyfully, and completely in love. Jonathon was sharp and handsome in his classic black tuxedo with a bow tie and a white rose boutonniere, the perfect complement to Ashley's breathtaking strapless lace gown. Together they were effortlessly elegant, the kind of couple that photographers dream of working with because the camera simply cannot stop finding beautiful things to capture.
Their reception at The Piermont was warm, lively, and filled with the kind of genuine happiness that you can feel even through a photograph. The sweetheart table was an intimate focal point in the room — surrounded by lush blush and white floral arrangements, candles flickering in the amber glow of the uplighting, champagne flutes catching the light — it was set like something from a luxury wedding editorial. And Ashley and Jonathon sitting there together, laughing and completely absorbed in each other, made it all feel real and human and deeply moving.

The Wedding Details That Made the Day Unforgettable
Great wedding photography is built on the details and Ashley and Jonathon's wedding at The Piermont was full of them. Every choice they made reflected a couple who had a clear, beautiful vision for their day and executed it with impeccable taste.
Ashley's gown was a strapless lace mermaid silhouette that fit her like it was custom made. The sweetheart neckline, the intricate lace bodice, and the way the skirt fanned out into a dramatic train made every single shot whether standing at the window, posed on the staircase, or moving across the dance floor look like a fashion editorial. Her sleek updo, diamond drop necklace, and delicate bracelet completed a bridal look that was polished, feminine, and utterly timeless.
Her bouquet was a gorgeous soft mix of blush roses, cream blooms, and eucalyptus perfectly coordinated with the reception florals, which featured towering arrangements of white hydrangeas and blush roses in tall glass vases. The overall color palette of blush, white, gold, and amber ran seamlessly from the ceremony through to the reception, creating a cohesive visual story that translated beautifully in every photograph.
And then there was the cake a stunning four-tier white wedding cake topped with a gold "Mr & Mrs Torres" cake topper, surrounded by soft candlelight. The cake cutting moment, caught mid-laugh as Jonathon reached for the first bite with a huge grin on his face, is the kind of spontaneous, joyful image that no amount of posing could ever replicate.
