Double Engagement Session
Weehawken Recreation Center, Weehawken, New Jersey

We recently did back-to-back engagement sessions at the Recreation Center in Weehawken, NJ.  We thought it would be fun to blog a sneak peak from both sessions together.  Yes, we used a lot of the same spaces and places, but every couple has their own unique energy.  Enjoy!

First up, Lorianne and Dan - can’t wait to celebrate with these two on New Year’s Eve at the Graycliff:

Christa and Nick - their wedding is fast approaching at The Stone House at Stirling Ridge!

Anastasia and Scott’s Wedding
The Pines Minor, Edison, New Jersey

We knew after Anastasia and Scott’s amazing engagement session at the Hoboken’s Lackawanna Train Station that these two were going to be a blast on their wedding day, and well… they were.  Start to finish the were high energy, tons of fun and loads of laughs.

Bridal prep.  Love this shot of Anastasia’ Shoe.  To create the backdrop, we used one of their couch cushions and an abstract painting.  Fun, right?

The bridal bouquet.

Anastasia moments before heading into the Rolls Royce.

The ceremony was held at St. George Greek Orthodox Church, Piscataway, NJ.

A barrage of rice!  There is also an amusing set of photos of “the aftermath,” the rice-removal process.  hehe.  This is more romantic!

Then off to The Castle in Highland Park for portraits of the married couple and bridal party.  Scott and the groomsmen looking rather distinguished.

Scott, err…  your wife…

It was hard narrowing down our favorite photographs from the swings, but here are two cute snaps.

Then off to The Pine Manor for the reception!  L:  Pink and white floral centerpieces.  R:  Wedding Favors

And of course the rings.

Kelly & Jeff’s Wedding
Shadowbrook, Shrewsbury, New Jersey

Kelly and Jeff, aka “Team Jelly,” got married at Shadowbrook in Shrewsbury, New Jersey!  Despite some ominous clouds, the weather, like these two was sunny and bright.  What a fun couple.  What a fun wedding!

Arriving at Shadowbrook Estate.

Initial bridal prep was done at the Staybridge Suites (shout out to Jeanine Mangan Make-up Designs for saving the day with some impromptu hair skills), but all of Kelly’s finishing touches were done in the Bridal Suite at Shadowbrook.  Way to work your veil Kelly.  Way to work your veil.

Love this Mother/Daughter moment with the dress.

Garden inspired blue and yellow bouquet.

Kelly our gorgeous bride!  Drama in the window.

Contentment.

Leaning on the lamp posts for some snaps!

No matter how you focus in on it, these two super heroes rock!

Perfect day for an outdoor ceremony.

Now that’s a kiss.  Check out the bridesmaids.

Neat paper cutout bird escort cards.

Yellow and Blue abound!  Hidden Birds!  “Team Jelly” Jelly Jars.  And of course champagne.

Anybody can serve lemon sorbet.  But in a mini cone - awesome!

The Rings.

Jeff’s Batman cuff links.

Thanks guys.  We had a blast!
