{Wedding: Katie + Tim} David’s Country Inn, Hackettstown New Jersey Wedding Photographer

, , , , 1 Comment

 

I remember the day I met with Katie and Tim to discuss my photography services for their big day and we clicked right from the beginning.  Katie and Tim both worked at Disney World years ago, which is where their love story really unfolded.  So fitting they would choose David’s Country Inn which is so reminiscent of the ballroom dance where Belle dances with the Beast in “Tale as Old as Time.”   They even displayed beautiful artwork they collected from the It’s a Small World ride in Disney.  So of course I have to use them as the backdrop for their ring shots. 🙂  This amazing couple also explained to me that it was very important to them to work with the natural beauty of David’s County Inn rather than visiting a random garden and the like.  This was music to my ears as this location offers SO many beautiful areas to shoot.  And thus, we had a blast shooting together.  Katie and Tim, thank you again for asking me to capture your  beautiful day.  I wish you a life time of happiness, now and always!.

{Wedding: Germary + Angel} The Fiesta Wood Ridge NJ – New Jersey Wedding Photograpger

I love these two. Germary contacted me about a year and a half ago about capturing her wedding to Angel.  We never met in person, but we had many long conversations about this couples big day.  Both Germary and Angel are from NYC, but recently moved to California where Angel is stationed in the Air Force.  (Note his awesome dress blues!) Hence, they planned their entire wedding from the West coast. Their planning really paid off, it was an AMAZING day!  I had one of the best times I’ve ever had shooting Germary and Angel’s wedding.  The couple, their family and their friends were some if the kindest people I’ve ever met. And just being in their presence, you can see why so many people came to their wedding to support them.  Just wonderful. And the amount of fun I had shooting this wedding was out of control.  I have way too many images I would like to share, but it’s a teaser.. otherwise I’d add their entire gallery. 🙂 Congrats again Germary and Angel! ❤ Janine

{Wedding: Amanda + Dan – White Meadow Lake Country Club Wedding – New Jersey Wedding Photographer}

White Meadow Lake Country Club

I was beyond honored to capture Dan and Amanda’s wedding.  When we met last year, I knew their wedding would be one which would stick in my mind for a long time.  They planned every details of their day with meticulous attention, I could tell you a million.. but here are a couple things I was blown away by.  Jackie, Dan’s mother created the bouquets by hand using traditional origami as well as all of the place cards. I die.  Amanda’s headpiece was given to her by her Aunt Lily and it was created at the turn of the century.  I died again. And not to mention, the club itself is personal to Amanda as she grew up on the lake and experienced many celebrations there.  When it came to working with Dan and Amanda, it was pretty evident that they were made for each other.  They complete each others sentences and when she smiles, so does he.. effortlessly. Their personal portraits I feel reflect that ease and comfort with one another and are absolutely natural to who they are.  Congratulations again Amanda and Dan.. THANK YOU for allowing me to a part of your amazing day.

Also, special thanks to Martin Reardon for second shooting with me at this event!
