The Chequit Wedding Photographer
Is this your venue? Then let's talk, because we would love to shoot here. We will be straight with you. We have not photographed a wedding at The Chequit yet. Here is why that does not worry us, and should not worry you.
The promise
We never show up to a wedding cold
Before your day, we scout The Chequit properly. We get on the phone with your banquet manager and learn how they run a wedding. We walk the grounds with you in person when we can, and over FaceTime or Zoom when schedules do not line up. We pull The Chequit up on Google Maps and Street View, and we check exactly where the sun sits on your wedding date, so we already know which spot on the property has the best light when your golden hour hits.
By the time we lift a camera at The Chequit, we will know it like we have shot it a hundred times. That is the whole point of how we work.

How we would shoot it
How we would shoot a hotel like this
Guests stay where they celebrate, so the getting ready light is some of the best of the day. We scout the suites with the big windows and plan the morning around them.
One team, three layers
Photo, film, and content at The Chequit, all from one team
You do not need to hire three vendors who have never met. Your photographers, your videographer, and your content creator come from the same studio, plan your timeline together, and work the day together. One point of contact, one timeline, and real prices on the site.
The questions couples ask
Planning photos at The Chequit
Have you photographed a wedding at The Chequit?
Not yet, and we will never pretend otherwise. What we do is scout it thoroughly before your day, talk to the venue, walk the grounds in person or over video, and map the light for your exact date. We have shot enough Long Island venues to know how to read a new one fast.
Can you really shoot here well if you have not before?
Yes, and here is how. The way a venue photographs comes down to its light, its spaces, and its timeline. We learn all three before your wedding, the same way we do at venues we know by heart. The Riviera was new to us once too.
Will you come see the venue with us?
Gladly. We will walk The Chequit with you in person when we can, or FaceTime and Zoom the walk through when we cannot. Either way you will see we have done our homework.
