Peace, Love, Joy and Grace, at the Antique Boat Museum

​

Jamie and Stephen's wedding at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY was nothing short of breathtaking — one of the most moving and genuinely beautiful destination weddings we have ever had the sincere honor of capturing in the Thousand Islands region. The more we edited their film — hanging on every word of their personal vows and the heartfelt speeches from their closest loved ones — the more we understood why they are so deeply loved by everyone around them. And then there was their baby girl, Grace, who stole the show every single time she appeared on screen. Every. Single. Time.

​

The Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY is one of the most unique and spectacular wedding venues in all of Northern New York and the Thousand Islands. Situated right on the St. Lawrence River, with antique wooden boats gleaming in the boathouse and sweeping views of the water in every direction, it is the kind of venue that makes Thousand Islands wedding photography and videography feel effortless. On the day of Jamie and Stephen's wedding, the weather was absolutely perfect — warm with a gentle breeze, the sound of water lapping nearby, and sunlight dancing across the harbor in a way that made every frame look like a painting.

​

Jamie is originally from the area, making this a deeply meaningful homecoming celebration, while Stephen traveled from their home in Massachusetts — giving the day a beautiful destination wedding quality. Making it even more personal, Jamie's close friend Stephanie — who works with the Antique Boat Museum — officiated their ceremony on the porch overlooking the St. Lawrence River. Jamie and Stephen then read their personal vows inside the historic boathouse, surrounded by stunning antique vessels and the warm golden glow of the afternoon light. Their vows were so touching from beginning to end that we kept them in their entirety in the final film — we have a feeling they will mean even more as the years go by.

​

We had the wonderful opportunity to work once again with Chelsi Healy of 1000 Islands Wedding & Event Planning — and as always, she was absolutely exceptional. The day flowed smoothly and right on schedule from start to finish thanks to her expert coordination and professionalism. We couldn't recommend her more highly to any couple planning a Thousand Islands destination wedding.

​

Following the deeply emotional ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails around the beautiful museum grounds before heading into the tent for dinner and a packed dance floor that lasted well into the evening. Select Receptions provided flawless DJ entertainment, and photographer Chelsea Walts captured stunning images alongside us throughout the day.

The Antique Boat Museum is truly one of a kind — there is simply no other wedding venue in New York quite like it.
