Shannon & Erik had a beautiful + classic summer wedding! Gina and I started the day with bridal prep at Shannon’s parents house which was in an adorable little complex. We took advantage of the pretty light in the sunroom along with the open grassy field right outside! Shannon’s details were so beachy and adorable! Her dress from The Wedding Embassy was gorgeous and she looked radiant! Ashley spent the morning with the boys, and after everyone was done getting ready we all met up at Holy Trinity Church. The ceremony was beautiful and the music by Justin and Alina was very sweet and touching! Once the ceremony was complete we headed over to Monmouth beach for some bridal party photos. It was a hot day so we didn’t say too long but just long enough to get those cute beach shots! After that it was time to head over to the gorgeous English Manor where we took some photos at the beautiful property they have there. I absolutely love the English Manor! Everyone there is so wonderful to work with and it’s always a lovely experience. The reception was so much fun with Elite Entertainment keeping the party going, like always! It couldn’t have been more perfect! It was such a joy for me to capture this special day!

Congratulations Shannon & Erik!

Enjoy the photos :)

The English Manor Wedding | Melissa + Justinn

Gina & I started our day with the bride at her childhood home. When we arrived there, Melissa and her girls were just about done with hair and makeup. Before Melissa changed into her wedding dress I was able to capture her reading a card from her groom which basically put us all in tears. Once it was time for Melissa to slip into her dress I took some portraits of her in the room she grew up in which was very special. After that it was time to head to the church! It was a beautiful ceremony and we stuck around afterwards to round up Melissa & Justinn’s immediate family for some family portraits. In the midst of the family photos the power went out in the church!! But good thing for flashes, am I right?! The English Manor was the next stop! We captured some seriously awesome photos of the bridal party out front. It is such a beautiful location especially in the peak of fall foliage! The bridesmaids dresses really popped with the contrast of the leaves. I loved that the bridesmaids & groomsmen had some of their own photo ideas- it made it really fun! It was a windy day but the sun was out which made it extremely beautiful! It made me think back to Melissa  & Justinn’s engagement session in Red Bank which was also really windy!! I can’t believe their wedding day has come & gone so quick! While capturing absolutely gorgeous portraits of the two, my team & I gushed to them about how beautifully natural they are in front of the camera! We felt like we could take photos of them all day- haha! Once we were done with portraits, it was time to party!! The reception was so much fun! The photo booth was a huge hit all night long. Justinn had a little outfit change at one point and changed into a sparkly jacket! I absolutely loved that. It was so sweet to see Melissa & Justinn surrounded by all of their loved ones on their special day. These two are so awesome and their love for each other radiates.

Congratulations Melissa & Justinn!
