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.

   

Barn Wedding at the Raritan Inn

I met Andi and Marc a few years back when I photographed her sister, Meghan's wedding.  So when I got the call that Andi and Marc were tying the knot, I was thrilled.  We had a fun engagement shoot last summer at their alma mater, Lehigh.  This past May, they finally got hitched at the charming Raritan Inn in Long Valley, NJ. This B&B venue is surrounded by meadows and features and rustic barn that serves at the party space.  The ceremony was held is an intimate clearing, surrounded by woods and a babbling brook.  Andi chose a colorful mix of spring colors for the wedding day- pinks, oranges, and yellows. The dinner tent was full of handmade touches, and the adjoining lawn was busy with lawn games. So fun!

A perfect day at Bonnet Island Estate

Jordana and Sean are one tenacious couple!  After their original wedding plans were canceled due to hurricane Sandy, these two took it in stride and embraced the opportunity to have a second wedding. Their wedding date moved from the fall to mid summer and this go-round they had an absolutely magnificent day!  They were at beautiful Bonnet Island Estate, which is nestled into the marshes of the Manahawkin Bay.  They kept their wedding details in theme with their surroundings, simple and natural.  A palette of blues and greens played perfectly against the water, grasses, and sky.

 

 

 And, yes, that is the huppah collapsing mid-ceremony! These two have learned to embrace life's little surprises. Jordana was still full of smiles....
