Stunning Glen Island Harbour Club Wedding
When Isabella and Teyonte Best tied the knot at the stunning Glen Island Harbour Club in April 2024, their wedding day was a true reflection of their unique story and personalities. The couple’s journey from their first meeting to the day they said “I do” was filled with unforgettable moments and a strong connection that was evident in every detail of their celebration.
The story of how Isabella and Teyonte met is one that could only happen in real life. It all started nearly a decade ago when the two found themselves at the popular Square One bar on Mill Plain Road, a go-to spot for friends looking for a fun night out. Isabella, enjoying a drink with her friends, had no idea that this night would lead to her finding the love of her life.
As fate would have it, Teyonte approached their group of friends and struck up a conversation with Isabella, leading to an unexpected invitation to a party. Little did Isabella know, the “party” was a far cry from what she imagined. Despite the cold and snowy evening, Isabella and her friend ventured across town to find not a lively gathering, but just Teyonte and his friend at a lonely house, with no music and no guests. Despite the awkward setting, Isabella and Teyonte hit it off immediately. After talking all night, they exchanged contact information, and the rest, as they say, is history. For the following weeks, Teyonte surprised Isabella with thoughtful deliveries of things she loved, gradually winning her heart. By Valentine’s Day, Isabella was head over heels, and the couple made it official. Their love blossomed quickly, and soon they were living the life they had always dreamed of — a home, and the start of their family.
Fast forward to today, and their beautiful family had grown to include three adorable daughters. But there was still something missing — Isabella’s last name. After some gentle prodding from their daughter Taelynn, who asked, “Hey Daddy, when are you and Mommy getting married?” the couple knew it was time to take the next step and make it official.
Why They Chose The Glen Island Harbour Club Wedding?
When it came time to plan their wedding, Isabella and Teyonte were clear about what they wanted: a venue with breathtaking views and a large selection of food. After careful consideration, they chose the Glen Island Harbour Club for its stunning location and exceptional offerings. The view of the water, combined with the expansive space for their guests, made it the perfect place to celebrate their union. The Glen Island Harbour wedding venue provided a beautiful backdrop for their wedding day, with its elegant, clean design that reflected the couple’s vision for a simple yet sophisticated celebration. The couple also made sure their guests were well taken care of with a fantastic selection of food, something that was very important to them.
The wedding day began with the excitement and joy that comes with any big day. Isabella and Teyonte’s formal dress code — dark blue for the groom’s family and white for the bride — set the tone for the elegance of the day. The wedding ceremony took place at the Glen Island Harbour Club Wedding Venue, where family and friends gathered to witness the couple exchange vows. One of the highlights of the ceremony was their unique tradition: jumping the broom after they were officially pronounced husband and wife. This symbolic gesture, rich in history and meaning, was something Isabella and Teyonte were eager to incorporate into their wedding day. As the couple jumped the broom, the guests cheered and celebrated, marking the beginning of their new life together.
But the fun didn’t stop there. After the ceremony, the reception was filled with surprises, including samba dancers and drummers who got the party started. The lively beats and vibrant energy filled the air as guests danced and celebrated the newlyweds. It was a celebration that perfectly captured Isabella and Teyonte’s personalities — fun, full of life, and a little bit unconventional.
Their Glen Island Harbour Wedding was full of candid moments, laughter, and love that were beautifully immortalized in photos and video. From the grand entrance of the bride to the first dance and every little detail in between, the photographs told the story of Isabella and Teyonte’s journey together.
Isabella and Teyonte Best’s Glen Island Harbour Wedding wouldn’t have been as spectacular as it was without the help of a few key vendors who brought Isabella and Teyonte’s vision to life.
- Kleinfeld Bridal: Isabella’s stunning wedding gown came from the renowned Kleinfeld Bridal, where she found the perfect dress for her special day. The Martina Liana gown she chose was a beautiful reflection of her elegant and timeless style.
- Arcadia Floral: The floral arrangements were another key element of the wedding, with lush, fresh flowers that added a touch of romance and color to the venue.
- DJ Jimmy Dee Entertainment: DJ Jimmy Dee kept the energy high throughout the night, ensuring that the dance floor was never empty. His mix of music had everyone on their feet and dancing the night away.
With the help of these amazing vendors, the Glen Island Harbour Wedding became an unforgettable celebration of Isabella and Teyonte’s love story.
Isabella and Teyonte’s Glen Island Harbour Club wedding wasn’t just about the details — it was about the people, the moments, and the love that surrounded them on their special day. Their story, from that first meeting at Square One to their Glen Island Harbour Wedding, is a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life happen when you least expect them.

Testimonials
Alina was so easy going and great to work with, I reached out only two weeks before our last minute wedding in New York, and she was able to travel and be there for us on our day. Although we weren’t able to meet in person before, she made me feel so comfortable while taking pictures. Her energy and directing made it so easy to feel like friends were taking our pictures. She was willing to walk through a wooded/wet area and all over the grounds of the venue to get a wide range of shots which was everything we had hoped for. She made the whole process such a breeze since day one. We are so grateful we get to cherish these photos for years to come and cannot thank her enough. If you’re looking for an amazing wedding photographer in New York who will make you feel comfortable and laugh the whole time during your pictures, she’s the one!
Phoebe Skulczyck
WeddingAlina was amazing! She coordinated with us ahead of the shoot and she also recommended me great MUAS! She was able to recommend places that exactly suited our vide of our photoshoot and was in constant communication leading up to the shoot, even given us tips for NYC. Upon meeting her she was lovely! She made us feel comfortable, gave us ideas for poses and was so easy going and talkative. She picked out great locations for us and gave us our photos hours after the photoshoot. Would recommend her as a NYC engagement photographer 100 times over!

EngagementWe hired Alina and her videography team for our wedding, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Their communication was always clear, prompt, and thoughtful, both leading up to the event and throughout the day itself. They made sure we felt prepared, comfortable, and taken care of every step of the way. On top of being total professionals, they are just genuinely kind, warm, and easy-going people. It felt like having 4 extra friends (including their assistants) with us rather than vendors. They blended in seamlessly, helped calm nerves, and still managed to capture every special moment without ever feeling intrusive. We also got SO many compliments from our guests immediately after the wedding saying how amazing they were!
When we received the final photos and video, I was completely blown away. I cried watching the video: it brought back every emotion in the best way, and I still can’t stop scrolling through the photos. They captured our day with so much heart, detail, and intention. These are memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives, and we’re so grateful to them for that.
I truly can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a team who is talented, caring, and genuinely invested in telling your story beautifully, they are the ones!

City Hall WeddingWe used Alina for our engagement shoot and wedding photography and I am so happy with our choice.
Leading up to both events she gave us helpful advice and kept in communication so we were never left in the dark. On our wedding day she was timely, organized, and efficient. She did a great job organizing a large group and had a beautiful eye to be able to capture outdoor pictures in the winter! Alina was able to give us direction on how to pose and make us feel really comfortable in the moment, which is something we were worried about.
She gave us our wedding photos back super quickly and the editing is amazing. She kept such a realistic but beautiful color to them and she truly made the whole day magical! We would 100% recommend Alina and her team.
Beth Hrehovcik
WeddingAlina was a standout photographer. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, she sent us helpful tips and suggestions so that we were prompted to think about what we wanted from our photos (and communicate those wishes with her). Day-of, she directed us for a series of beautiful pictures in Central Park. I was nervous since I’ve never done a professional shoot before but had so much fun with Alina and Inga. At our reception, they blended into the guests so well that we did not notice being photographed throughout the night at all. I’ve been suggesting Alina to all of my friends getting married in the city and hope to use her again in the future for other events.

WeddingI can’t recommend Alina enough for engagement photography! She absolutely crushed our Central Park shoot and made our proposal day perfect.
From the start, Alina was incredible to work with. I had a vision but wasn’t totally sure about the exact spot, and she helped pinpoint the exact location and capture some amazing photos around Central Park. Her knowledge of the area and eye for beautiful settings made all the difference.If you’re looking for an engagement photographer who goes above and beyond, knows her craft, and genuinely cares about making your day special, book Alina. She made what could have been a stressful planning process smooth and fun, and delivered photos that exceeded our expectations.
Andrew Rice
EngagementWe booked Alina for our wedding this past June, and the entire experience with her was absolutely phenomenal. She was professional, kind, organized and patient from our very first chat to the wedding day itself. Alina captured the most beautiful shots for us and we couldn’t be happier with the photos and service we received. The photos are STUNNING! Our guest even said they are magazine worthy. She took the time to capture photos of all our guests, families, and all the big and small moments. Absolute 10/10, zero complaints.
Cassandra Celestin
WeddingMe and my boyfriend did a couple’s shoot with Alina in the west village and it was amazing! She’s professional, quick, communicative, friendly and flexible (we postponed our shoot 1 day because it was supposed to rain)Neither of us had ever done a photoshoot before so didn’t know what to expect but she made us very comfortable. Had good suggestions for settings/poses but also encourages you to just interact with each other creating natural looking scenes in the photographs. Which is exactly what we wanted :) She came well prepared with locations and improvised if she saw another opportunity.Not only will you get good pictures you will also just have a great time!
Maaike Pull
EngagementAlina was AMAZING! She did the photography for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. She’s very professional, her work is flawless, she’s attentive, creative, and very easy to work with. We also got to work with her videography team and we’re so impressed how well they work together to produce our wedding video. I would highly recommend them both. Thank you for everything Alina!
Kristen Lettenberger
WeddingI cannot recommend Alina enough! She is a visionary and such expert couple photographer in NYC, I would recommend her to anyone who needs pictures taken in NYC. She was so much fun to work with, and not to mention affordable. She has all of the best spots mapped out, and really made our first photoshoot quite the experience.
Cristina Fernandez
EngagementWe had the pleasure of working with Alina for our engagement photoshoot in New Jersey, and her professionalism, skills, and the incredible pictures she provided were truly remarkable. Without any hesitation, we immediately booked Alina for both our wedding photography and videography. Alina had a keen understanding of our vision and perfectly captured the essence of our special day. The highlight was the exceptional video created by Alek and Alina, which beautifully encapsulated every moment of our wedding. We are immensely grateful for capturing our cherished day.
