Asbury Park Charm: New Jersey Wedding Photographers

I had such a lovely time photographing Joan & Kevin for a family portrait that I was thrilled when they told me they wanted me to capture their July 3rd wedding!  It was simple & elegant and filled with such joy!  Kevin wore a dashing seersucker suit, one of my favorite looks for men at a shore weddding.  Joan look radiant in a delicate gown with petal overlays and classic pearls.  It was wonderful to capture Joan's expressions during the ceremony. One of my favorite caterers Mumfords was on hand for the backyard reception.  It was such fun!!

Bonnet Island Escape: Bonnet Island Estate Wedding Photographers

Jessica & Michael met on holiday in the Bahamas.  She lived in New York; he lived in New Hampshire.  Despite geographical differences they both knew it was love at first sight and two weeks later they had their first date.  It was fitting that the two choose The Bonnet Island Estate on LBI to wed.  The private island escape was such a peaceful backdrop with its lush grasses and wild birds it was as if the couple was still on holiday.

Michelle Santanello of MDS Floral Designs made elegant & airy bouquets wrapped in blush silk and sequins.  Hand painted signs led the way to the ceremony.

The pre-wedding outfits were just way to cute!

Stephanie Somodi of Designs by Stephanie incorporated Jessica's blue & green theme in an elegant design for the invitations, programs, and menues.  Jessica's hairpiece was antique silver with pearl.

The bridal gown by Michelle Roth available at Kleinfeld Bridal caught the light so beautifully at every turn.

Bubbles added a touch of whimsy & joy after the ceremony.

We fell in love with the twobirds bridesmaids dresses, one dress can be worn 15 different ways!  Each girl wore her dress in a different style to complement their shape and they look so so comfortable.  The flower girls were twirling all day long!

Jessica's mother & stepfather gaze at the newlyweds.

Michelle of MDS Floral Designs used crisp pinks and greens to create a warm & welcoming atmosphere complemented by candlelight and hand painted signs with sweet phrases.   The bride's mother Charlene helped to plan every perfect detail aided by the fabulous Day of Coordinator Heather Furgeson. Merri-Makers Catering provided exquisite food and service as always!

Who else but french luxury shoe designer Christian Louboutin could have made the bride's ravishing red heeled stilettos?

The bride and her mother danced a mother daughter dance while watching a video montage of Jessica's father, a firefighter that passed away in 9.11.01.  Jessica's engagement ring holds the diamond that her father gave to her mother.

Premier Event Rentals set up a fun photo booth complete with great costumes for the guests to enjoy.

A romantic sunset stroll on the reed covered banks of Bonnet Island completed the day!
