the Bridgehampton Polo Club

the Bridgehampton Polo Club

And yes I went to the Hamptons for a Polo Event. It's been a while but the Bridgehampton Polo Club for the Mercedes Benz Challenge seemed like a good spot to get reacquainted with the sport. I was accompanied by the Tri-States own ArtChick most of you know her as a club photographer extraordinaire and she is now one of the hottest wedding photographers money can buy.



For Artchick it was her first time in the Hamptons. She really seemed to enjoyed photographing the horses and the event from behind the scenes. She dug right in with her usual vigor and at one point we almost interjected our self into the match and were quite relieved not to get stomped on . Artchick held her ground and got some amazing shots in all the ensuing kaos.



We opted out of the VIP festivities and decided on the more traditional tail gate. I dawned my yellow summer afternoon cocktail jacket and personified the picture of Hamptons society circuit.The traditional Divot stomping at half-time with spectators wander all over was a hoot and gives you a good feeling of the vastness of the size of the field. It's fun and a great opportunity to meet people .
