Mariya & Jeff {Wedding}

Posted in Wedding

Mariya and Jeff’s wedding this past weekend was a total blast! Besides being a really cool couple, they have some great friends and an amazing family. We started off just outside of Jeff’s apartment for their first meeting and wound up in the middle of the street before getting in the limo. Thanks to Sue B. directing traffic, I didn’t get run over while laying in the road The ceremony and reception were held at Seasons in Washington Township. The venue was stunning and they put out quite a spread. Not to be outdone, the wedding party put on a well-choreographed number to Michael Jacksons’ “Thriller”.” It was a sight to see! Mariya was absolutely gorgeous… I wish you both the best of luck! By the way… where did you get your knife holder? I need one of those:)

Jamie & Roger {Wedding}

Posted in Wedding

Having shot Jamie & Roger’s engagement shoot just a few weeks ago, it was great to see them again so soon on their big day! What a great couple and a wonderful family. Leaving super early to beat the NJ beach traffic, we arrived at the cozy Abby Holmes Estate in Clermont, NJ. The ceremony and reception both took place on the grounds and were the perfect setting for this joyous occasion. With Jamie getting ready upstairs in the Estate, there were plenty of cool nooks and crannies to shoot the details. Jamie was escorted down the aisle by her two boys to a truly touching ceremony. With the party in full swing being fueled by Roger’s secret punch being consumed out of mason jars, we snuck away to the small cottage stores next to the estate. The light rain and moody lighting helped to create some really dramatic images of the new couple. Best of luck to you both, we had a blast!

Abigail & Travis {Wedding}

Posted in Wedding

What a beautiful day for a wedding on the Jersey Shore. Abigail & Travis were married in Long Branch, NJ at the Ocean Place Resort & Spa. We had some fun running Abigail’s dress around the premises hanging it in all sorts of locations The service was on the beach just behind behind the hotel. We escaped for a few minutes, just long enough to grab some increadible images on a jetty while guest enjoyed the outdoor cocktail hour. Everyone moved inside for the reception and had a great time including the lawn owl

We wish you guys the best of luck and will see ya soon!
