Leah & John’s Wedding at The Pratt Gardens, New Jersey Wedding Photography

Even though the temperature dropped & it rained the night before, nothing could stop these two from having the perfect wedding day. We started with Leah & her bridesmaids at her Mom’s house where they were all getting ready. Then we went to the church where John & the guys were all getting ready before the ceremony. The couple were happily married & each guest was given a little bag of bird seed to throw on the newlyweds as they made their exit. After we left the church we were headed to the reception at The Pratt Gardens where we knew we were in for a beautiful setting & amazing food. Luckily we finished portraits just in time! The rain came pouring down as Leah & John were making their entrance into their first dance. It didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits though because the tent was secure & the food was delicious! Not only did these foodies have their friends as the chefs but they also had a friend at the turntables to DJ for them & the night went effortlessly despite the rain outside. Congratulations to Leah & John! May you enjoy many meals together as husband & wife.

Kate & Jason’s Wedding at the Seaview Resort, Atlantic City, New Jersey Wedding Photography

We have been getting to know Kate & Jason for over a year now. It was so much fun shooting their engagement session in Ocean City, NJ with their cute little dog Mason. We definitely knew the wedding was going to be fun too! We started at Kate’s parent’s house for the getting ready shots. We were surprised how organized everything was with 9 bridesmaids! Kate got each of them a monogramed hoodie & everyone was looking super cute before they all slipped into their dresses. We did a quick toast & photo session in her parents backyard & then headed to the church in Linwood, NJ for the beautiful ceremony. Jason looked very dapper in his tuxedo, almost like he was straight out of old hollywood. Each of their guests were given ribbon wands for the couple’s exit from the church instead of the traditional rice throwing for a sweet touch. After some family shots behind the church before we made our way to the reception at Seaview Resort in Galloway, NJ. We had a great time with the huge bridal party before we got Kate & Jason to ourselves for some romantic shots in front of the venue, on the bay side of the golf course & in the golf cart parking garage. Then the party got started and went on into the night. Everyone had a great time dancing and eating the delicious food. It was definitely a beautiful beginning to their future together. Congratulations to Kate & Jason!

Josh & Tessa’s Charlottesville Wedding

Josh & Tessa met in Virginia, so of course they decided to get married there! While most of the other vendors were local, we were more than happy to pack up and head down for the weekend. We even went down early to see them the night before the wedding, since they had been living in South Korea when they booked with us up until their wedding!

The reception was held at King Family Vineyards in Charlottesville, VA. It was a beautiful location for such a delightful couple. In the words of Annie, their Maid of Honor, “Look out world. Here come Josh & Tessa!”
