Erica and Shawn’s Wedding
The Waterview Pavilion, Belmar, New Jersey

We met Erica and her bridesmaids as they were getting ready at The Chateau Inn and Suites in Spring Lakes, New Jersey.  Upon entering, we saw one of our favs, Michelle Lo Conte of I Do Hair and Make-Up busy putting the finishing touches on the girls.  While Steven snapped away - photos of hair and prep, I took on the challenge of figuring out how to best display Erica’s beautiful dress on a round mirror precariously placed over the room’s four post bed.

Success!  Erica’s Wedding gown.

And of course her shoes.

Erica, our beautiful bride.  She was beaming all day!

While I stayed with the girls, Steven created some mischief with the groomsmen and this Christmas Tree.

Finally united!

“Fiiiire Truuuuck!”  Thank you to the Spring Lake Fire Department for allowing us to borrow their fire truck for some impromptu portraits.

Love the white bouquet against the truck.

Then on to The Waterview Pavilion in Belmar for family photographs and of course the ceremony and reception.  Man and Wife!

And of course the rings.

Party on!  Thank you for sharing such a special day with us.  We enjoyed celebrating with you!

Priscilla and Stephen’s E-Session
The W Hotel, Hoboken, New Jersey

Cold weather doesn’t mean that environmental photography stops.  For Priscilla and Stephen’s engagement session, we got inventive and decided to use the lobby of The W Hotel in Hoboken, NJ.  We knew the spot was hip, because we had been there a few months prior for a wedding and enjoyed the modern lighting and cool lounge-y furniture.  So off we went…

Getting cozy against the mesh wall.

Some of our favs from the session.  I rocked the fisheye - Steven kept a little tighter…

Classic.

Love splashed in purple!

We can’t wait to celebrate with Priscilla and Daniel this May at The Round Hill House in Washingtonville, NY!

Next time you are flipping through a bridal magazine, check out our photo from Allison and Rami’s wedding being highlighted in The Rockleigh’s new advertising campaign.

We’ve seen it in a few magazines thus far (the version below is from New Jersey Bride):

We took this dramatic birds-eye-view during Allison and Rami’s beautiful outdoor July ceremony.

We love working at The Rockleigh Country Club and look forward to our next affair there in February!
