Olde Mill Inn Wedding, Basking Ridge NJ, New Jersey Wedding Photography {Amanda & Tom}

I am so excited to share Amanda & Tom's romantic and elegant summer wedding at the Olde Mill Inn! This was the first wedding I had photographed here and I already can't wait to go back! I had so much fun with this awesome couple during their engagement session in Spring Lake last September, at both the park and the beach, and I couldn't wait for their wedding day! I am obsessed with the dress Amanda wore on her special day, she looked absolutely radiant! Amanda and Tom decided to do a first look with each other before the ceremony which I am always excited about! It was so sweet to capture them seeing each other for the first time. We were able to do many portraits right in the little court yard and it was the perfect location! For their wedding they chose to have the ceremony at Seaton Hall where they met! The Seton Hall University Chapel is so quaint and lovely. These two had a beautiful ceremony followed by a few photos right there on the campus with the gorgeous Princess Rolls Royce! It was such a beautiful day, sunny but not too hot for the middle of July :) Amanda did a fantastic job hand making many of the details for the wedding such as the wedding programs, favors and table numbers. The table numbers were named for the various dates Amanda and Tom had been on together over the years, such a cute idea! After the ceremony we came back for a few more portraits of the bride and groom at the Olde Mill Inn and then they were able to enjoy time at their cocktail hour (just another reason I love first looks!) The reception was so much fun with everyone dancing, laughing and having a fabulous time. There were so many special and sentamental elements to this wedding that made it all the more special for me and my team to capture. It was such a joy to photograph this beautiful wedding! Congratulations Amanda & Tom!

Enjoy the photos :)

MCLOONE'S PIER HOUSE, PIER VILLAGE, NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY {Melissa & Sean}

Melissa & Sean's wedding day was so incredibly JOYFUL! They did not stop smiling the entire day and neither could I as I photographed this sweet couple! I have been so excited about this wedding from the moment I met these two. I had the best time with them at Sandy Hook during their engagement session last summer! As you may be able to tell from their colors and decor they absolutely love the beach and I was so happy we were able to get so many portraits of them there (especially at sunset!) From beginning to end this wedding was incredibly beautiful and filled with love! I loved spending the morning with the girls as Melissa was beaming from ear to ear. They both had hand written love notes to each other that they wanted to try to read at the exact same time (which is exactly what they did!). Some of my favorite moments from the church were the combination of some jewish traditions within the catholic ceremony such as signing the Ketubah and breaking the glass. Melissa and Sean were married the weekend of the 4th of July so when we arrived for bridal party photos at the beach it was more than packed! But one of the many reasons I LOVE Mcloone's Pier House is that we were able to go right under the pier there and get so many amazing shots while avoiding the crowds! We finished up just in time for Melissa and Sean to enjoy their entire cocktail hour while we captured the beautiful details of the reception. My favorite part of the day was the unique first dance these two shared. They started off by singing the first half of their wedding song together (Lucky, by Jason Mraz) and did a beautifully choreographed dance to the 2nd half. The reception was so much fun, and they even did the hora at one point, which is always a blast! Everyone laughed and danced the night away with Melissa and Sean. I can't say enough about how sweet, easy going, and happy this couple is and how much of a pleasure it was to photograph their wedding day! 

Congratulations Melissa & Sean!

Long Island Wedding Photography {Jenn & Jack} Northport NY Wedding

Jenn and Jack's wedding was a dream! This was a super unique wedding as it was not held at a venue but rather a private residence in Long Island with a gorgeous view of the river. I am totally in love with the rose gold color scheme and all of the pretty details included in their day! Jenn looked absolutely stunning in her gown and the flowers from The Flower Basket fit together perfectly! Some of my favorite moments of the day were Jenn's first look with her father, the ring bearer and flower girl being completely adorable at the park, and the romantic ceremony at sunset (seriously could not have been more perfect!). We were able to go to the Yacht Club next-door and use the pier for some bride and groom portraits with that amazing golden sunlight! It was so neat to see how they used the entire property for the wedding, from the tables scattered through the yard to the dance floor on the 2nd level, it's like this house was made to host a wedding! Guests enjoyed a fantastic night while This is it Entertainment kept the dance floor packed. I am so happy for these two and it was such a pleasure to capture their special day!

Congratulations Jenn & Jack! Enjoy the photos :)
