Gates — the 25-year-old daughter of billionaire Microsoft founder, Bill Gates — did a dramatic twirl in a dazzling white gown during a photoshoot with her husband-to-be, Nayel Nassar.

Sporting a fitted gray suit, Nassar, a 30-year-old fellow equestrian, held Gates’ hand and leaned over to kiss her in the driveway of the sprawling North Salem abode.

Earlier in the day, the couple stepped onto the deck of the mansion to enjoy a sun-soaked moment with family ahead of Friday’s rehearsal dinner.
