Erin and Drew at the Molly Pitcher

It was about this time last summer that I was strolling the Asbury boardwalk with Erin and Drew for their engagement shoot.  We had a great time that evening, shooting and talking about their upcoming wedding plans as I got to know this smart, funny and easygoing couple.

Fast forward 9 months and I was arriving at the Molly Pitcher on a lovely spring morning to document their wedding day.  The details embraced a fresh palate of navy blues, pinks, and cream for a very classic style. The bouquets featured some stunning peonies with pops of white and green.  The ceremony was at Atlantic Highland's St Agnes, and for portraits we visited the beautiful gardens at Deep Cut Park.

Cocktail hour was held outside, with a soft breeze coming off the Navesink River.  Once the party moved inside, things got a little crazy on the dance floor, thanks to the B Street Band and some very lively dancers! It was quite a night.

   

Danielle and Richard at The Palace

Continuing with my greatest hits of 2014, I present Danielle and Richard's perfectly purple September wedding.  Danielle flawlessly coordinated a mix of glitzy shimmer and regal elegance.  They had a sweet and lighthearted ceremony at St. Mary's Chapel in Middletown and then we were off to The Palace in Somerset for a grand reception.  No detail was overlooked and no dance move was held back! What a party! And check out Richard's custom cigar bar.

 

Sandra and Jacob's Wedding at Liberty House

    I'm starting the new year by posting one of my favorite weddings from 2014.  Sandra and Jacob planned a beautiful early September wedding at Jersey City's Liberty House.  We started the day at the nearby Hyatt, where we photographed the bride and groom's preparations along with many of Sandra's rustic details like her bridal cowboy boots and a charming burlap wrapped invitation.  We proceeded to the Liberty State Park waterfront for the couple's first look, followed by some stunning portraits.  Have a look...
