Elizabeth and Robert had a perfect day at the Bonnet Island Estate (LBI) with crisp ocean breezes catching the loose waves in Elizabeth's hair and the ribbons in her bouquet by Katydid. She wore a Legends By Romona Keveza off the shoulder romantic lace gown with garlands in her hair and flowered Ted Baker shoes.

The Jersey Shore after labor day is at it's best, beautiful weather with out the crowds. Andrea and Michael could not have asked for a better day! The roof top at Avenue was the perfect location for their intimate wedding. I loved the pink and orange color palette that was carried through the girls dresses and decor. With the palm tree and the blue ocean it gave a Miami feel to the whole event. Which was fitting because Michael 's family is from Miami.
I asked Andrea how they meet and to tell me about special details of their wedding. This is what she had to say. We worked for the same company but at different divisions, if it wasn't for Chemistry.com we might have never meet.I worked in the NYC office and he in the Plainsboro NJ division. .We enjoyed emailing and speaking on the phone and had our first date in August 2008. We felt an immediate attraction and connection. We both found each other funny, kind, intelligent and caring and there was a definite spark that has continued to this day!
Michael planned a special vacation to st. Maarten for March 2015 which he surprised me with as a Christmas present in Dec 2014. I did not know for sure the he planned to propose, but I suspected that he might as we'd been talking about getting married more frequently. Fast forward to the trip and he waited until the second to the last day which kept me guessing:-)He choose March 8th as the day to propose . This day is special because my older brother passed away on this day 11 years earlier. He said that he chose that day because he new it was a sad day and he wanted it to have additional meaning, and a happy memory associated with it. After dinner that night , he suggested we take a walk on the beach, but it had been raining so I didn't want to "mess up my shoes". So he moved to "plan B" which ws to propose on the tree and flower lined path that led to our hotel. It was a beautiful spot and his proposal was romantic and heartfelt. I mediately said "yes"!
I wanted to give a shot out to my second photographer Amy Diamond! It was great working with you again :-)

Love is Like The Wind: The Liberty House Restaurant: New Jersey Wedding Photographers
“Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.”― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to Remember
Lauren and Rob meet in Hoboken six years ago and really hit it off! While on a romantic vacation on Turks and Caicos Rob set up a beautiful dinner on the beach were he proposed. For the big day this lovely sweet couple chose The Liberty House Restaurant with it's sweeping views of the New York City skyline. Lauren looked fresh and glowing in a gorgeous tiered gown by Alita Graham from Kleinfelds that caught the wind with every turn. We just loved that she accented her look with a single orchid and flowing veil. Her bridesmaids looked flawless in navy dresses by ML Monique Lhuillier from Nordstrom. Narcissus Florals in Toms River NJ created bouquets from cream roses, hydrangea and green orchids. Invitations by Vera Wang from The Papery in Shrewsbury were a perfect pairing. As the sun set the city glowed and the sky grew to a deep midnight blue as the couple danced in each others arms surrounded by their loving friends and family.
