The Bonnet Island Estate: A Wedding in Marine Blue: Bonnet Island Wedding Photographers
Patricia & Patrick could not have been more fun!! They meet at a Notre Dame Commencement Ball two days before graduating and years later they both recall knowing that very night they would spend the rest of there lives together.
This high-energy duet had us smiling all throughout their gorgeous sunny day at The Bonnet Island Estate. Patricia looked like a 1950's film star in her Oleg Cassini gown with her great blue shoes peaking out. A classic beach necklace of freshwater pearls and sea glass hair combs for her and the girls by her friend Kathy Bixby of Bay Head completed the look. The girls' deep marine blue dresses were crisp and classic paired with cheerful bouquets of yellow gerbera daisies by The Loft Florists. Patrick and his buddies from the Marine Corps looked dashing in their dress blues. His best man even gave ironing lessons to the ladies; apparently no one irons with more precision than a Marine!
The couple tied the knot at St. Catharine of Siena Church in Seaside Park before heading to The Bonnet Island Estate for a signature berry mojito and a stroll along the peaceful winding paths on the island. For the ceremony The Loft Florists of Toms River created simple and happy arrangements of yellow that were paired with graphic 1950's style place cards. The couple had two great cakes. One cake was simple & beautiful with blue ribbon and yellow rose accents. The other cake was an adorable manatee! For entertainment band Jersey Joe kept this couple singing to each other & dancing all night!
The Harvard Club of NYC: Dominika & Steven: New York Wedding Photographers
Dominika & Steven were both working at the same hospital when they meet. Steven, a neurosurgeon at the hospital, was overwhelmed with Dominika's beauty & vibrant personality. He finally worked up the courage to tell her and the rest came so naturally. Dominika has three handsome boys and Steven has two beautiful girls and the seven of them make just a gorgeous family! As Steven got his medical degree from Harvard University they decided that The Harvard Club of NYC would be the perfect place for a reception. The couple got ready nearby at Hotel Sofitel before heading to central park for a few portraits. One of our all time favorite party planners Tammy Cummingham of Sincerely Yours Events was on hand to orchestrate the seamless flow of this exquisite wedding. The bride looked radiant with hair by Lauren Fischer of Bellissima Bride and make-up by Stacey of Fresh Face Forward. For the reception flowers & lighting by Pedestals Floral Decorators and invitations by Sincerely Yours Invitations helped to create Dominika's romantic vintage-inspired wedding come together with ease.

Gustavino's Restaurant: A Classic New York Wedding: New York Wedding Photographers
"We met at Columbia Business School at a retail networking event at JCrew. I went for career opportunities - Darren went because JCrew was offering 15% off that night and he needed to stock up on t-shirts and boxers! We were in the same class at CBS but did not meet until that evening at JCrew."

Waterside Restaurant & Catering: Congratulations Miranda & Steve: New Jersey Wedding Photographers
Miranda & Steve were a dream to work with they could not have been kinder or easier to photograph. Their love overflowed! They got engaged in Cape Cod on a weekend trip. They were taking a stroll on the beach with one of the most magnificent views on the Cape when almost out of nowhere a woman came by and offered to take a photo of them by one of the famous dunes. Suddenly Steve asked "Do you really want to get a good one?" The woman seemed confused until Steve brought out the ring! So she got to capture the best moment of all, the YES! For the big day Miranda looked like a screen siren in her ruched Michelle Roth gown from Kleinfeld Bridal in NYC with custom Swarovski crystal & pearl belt that the bride had added. The bride got ready at The Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel in Weehawken with make-up by the talented Kerry Crawford and Hair by Kim Zito of Expert Hair Design with Benjamin Adams shoes, handbag by Glint and earrings by Nadori to complete the look. The girls were stunning in deep purple gowns by Eden Bridesmaids from Antoinette Rose Bridal Store in Brick NJ. Flower Elegance of Fair Lawn NJ chose shades of deep purple and lavender with hints of lime green and ivory. Bella Figura of Syracuse NY created beautiful letterpress invitations. The couple made a quick stop at Hamilton Park in Weehawken for a few portraits.
For the ceremony and reception Miranda & Steve were off to the Waterside Restaurant & Catering with it's AMAZING views of the Hudson River and NYC skyline. Harpist Karen Stern greeted guests as they seated themselves on the waterside overlooking the city. It was a perfect day! Officiant Gerald Fierst captured the wonderful spirit of the couple creating a time capsule box of love letters and champagne to be opened on their 5th anniversary . The calm waters turned into rolling waves as the Officiant mentioned Miranda's mother, who recently passed away, being present at the ceremony. It was a touching moment.

Bay Head Yacht Club: Cait & Tom: New Jersey Wedding Photographers
Cait & Tom would be the life of any party. These ultimate Bruce Springsteen fans are vibrant, full of love, and brimming with humor. Their wedding was a classic Bay Head event with it's Vineyard Vine Ties, great hats, and fresh ocean breezes. The bride wore her sister's wedding gown in memory of her and a veil from Barefoot Bride. Her bridesmaids were her beautiful nieces who wore Coren Moore dresses in a great marine blue. Her maid of honor was a dear friend who introduce the couple with the help of Tom's sister. Tom chose Brooks Brothers Suits & Vineyard Vine Ties for his groomsmen whom he's shared a lifelong friendship with. Tom asked his father to be his best man. The couple arrived at Sacred Heart Church in Bay Head to share their vows. It's classic cedar shingles and crisp blue hydrangea where just charming. After the ceremony the bridal party caught the boat from the Bay Head Yacht Club for a grand entrance. Kate Duffy of Katydid Signature Floral & Event Design created stunning classic hydrangea & green orchid arrangements for the reception with place cards named after famous Springsteen songs and soft candlelight glow. The Block & Blue Band kept these crazy dancers on the floor all night, stepping off only briefly for the mother of the bride to sing and dedicate a song to the couple. The bride herself took a spin on the mike as guests crowded round. What Cait didn't know is that the crowd prepared a special treat for her. As Cait sang at many of their weddings her guests thought it would be a fitting surprise for everyone to take out their iphones and sing at the top of their lungs. It was a ball!!
