There are some days that are magic. Days when it all goes right - the perfect<br />
setting, the perfect weather, and the perfect group of friends gathered to mark<br />
an important occasion.<br />
For Donnell and Courtney Baldwin, New York fashion<br />
stylists known for their brand, Mr. Baldwin Style, that<br />
moment came on a sunny day at Havens Beach in Sag<br />
Harbor. The idyllic location, set among bright white sands,<br />
long blades of grass, and even a few deer roaming by the<br />
ocean, was perfect for the couple’s celebration of their<br />
six-year wedding anniversary.<br />
To make the most of a beautiful day, the couple, whose<br />
brand works with Ralph Lauren and Rosario Dawson’s<br />
globally conscious Studio 189, called on an equally fashionable<br />
array of guests to toast their latest milestone in one of<br />
their favorite places to visit.<br />
“We enjoy visiting Sag Harbor during all times of the<br />
year,” says Courtney. The couple was first introduced to<br />
the area when Donnell lived in East Hampton for a short<br />
time. “Each season has its own charm. In the summer, Main<br />
Street is bustling with a mix of residents and weekenders<br />
heading to or coming from the beautiful area beaches. In<br />
the winter, the town is visibly less populated, but equally<br />
charming. Sag Harbor serves as an escape and a place to<br />
recharge year-round. It’s a place where you can go for fresh<br />
air and get a fresh perspective, whether it be for the day or<br />
the entire summer.”<br />
On this day, guests arrived in a steady stream.<br />
