We recently had the pleasure of working at Clarks Landing Yacht Club in Point Pleasant, NJ providing wedding photography for Jaime and Mani.  With Jaime ready, we headed down to Clarks Landing to meet Mani.  The foyer  was the perfect setting for Jaime and Mani’s first meeting.  Jamie walked down the elegant flourished stairway towards her husband-to-be touching him lightly on the shoulder. Without a doubt Jaime and Mani’s first meeting was the most emotional Lola and I ever witnessed.

Prior to the Ceremony, time was set aside for a “Man Cruise”… Mani and his groomsmen made their way  to a1930′s 75 ft Nevins Cigarette yacht and spent and hour or so cruising the bay enjoying some fine Cognac.

The ceremony was extremely touching with speeches by fathers and siblings that spoke of the love and admiration these families have for Mani & Jaime.

As PJ from Unforgettable D.J.’s whipped the crowd into a frenzy,  the mirrored doors flung open to reveal Mani dipping Jaime and sharing a long kiss (see pic below).

Congratulations again Jaime & Mani!

NJ Beach Wedding

With the help from the lovely ladies at Kleinfeld Bridal in NYC Jaime selected this incredible dress.

Jimmy Choo.. a girl’s best friend.  Walking back from the beach, Jaime gingerly walked across some gravel.  Mani asked “why don’t you put your shoes back on”?  Jaime just smiled and kept walking.  I think she would have rather walked on hot coals than risk ruining these shoes!

Jaime’s grandfather built this house 47 years ago, the light was spectacular

While out cruising the bay, a bottle of King Louis XIII Cognac appeared from a state room.  Soon after, instructions from a groomsman on the 3 noses of drinking such a fine cognac followed. With many toasts to Mani, the finely crafted bottle in the end, held only the vapor of its blend of over 1200 cognacs.

As the party raged on, Mani & friends busted out some old school break dance moves.
