I’m so happy that Jessica and Fernando had the most perfect day for their wedding yesterday at Holy Cross Church. I adore these two and was so honored to celebrate their marriage and love with their amazing families and friends. Congratulations Jessica and Fernando!

Jane and Chris were married on a spectacular afternoon in October at St. Catharine Church in the historic seaside town of Spring Lake.  Jane visualized her wedding day to be fun and sophisticated with a beachy feel! I really enjoyed meeting them in July at their engagement session in Central Park!  I’m so grateful that  Brandi Grooms Johnson was my second photographer for the day. Jane and Chris’ William Arthur invitations from The Papery in Sea Girt were classic and timeless. I loved Jane’s classically romantic chignon styled by Laura from Milagro Spa in in Manasquan.  Jane was absolutely radiant as Jessica DeMarco D’Agostino made the last touches to her makeup. Her beautiful silk-faced satin strapless gown and Alençon lace cathedral length veil were from the Amsale flagship salon in Manhattan. I just loved her Butter bridal shoes! Jane borrowed her aunt’s pearl earrings and bracelet. The  bouquets were lovely and filled with vendela roses, hydrangea and green berries. Wallflowers did an excellent job on all the florals!
The bridesmaids deep raspberry Jenny Yoo shantung silk dresses were gorgeous and the perfect choice for an early fall wedding! After portraits we headed over to the Spring Lake Bath and Tennis Club for their reception. It was a perfect evening for an outdoor cocktail hour. Their traditional tiered cake adorned with roses from Chocolate Carousel was so pretty.
The ballroom at the club is one of my favorite venues. It’s truly elegant and the staff did an amazing job of incorporating details that were special to Jane and Chris. Jane and Chris danced their first dance to the popular song It Had To Be You. The toasts were heartfelt and hilarious! Chris’ best man and brother, Mike, told some very funny tales that had everyone in tears! Bruce Saunders Entertainment had the dance floor full all night! After dinner,  Jane and her father danced to The Wonder of You while Chris and his mother danced to Kind and Generous with his mother.  Congratulations Jane and Chris! You’re an amazing couple with such wonderful friends and families!

The beautifully renovated  historic Sandy Hook Chapel in Fort Hancock that overlooks the Sandy Hook Bay was the perfect location for Sarah and Tim’s intimate wedding in September. Sandy Hook holds a very special place in their hearts because it was where Tim proposed to Sarah and where we later photographed their engagement session. Sarah’s satin strapless gown and veil from David’s Bridal were so pretty and delicate. Her bouquet was filled with roses, stephanotises, calla lilies and shells, and was a lovely complement to Tim’s boutonnière. Something Nice Floral Designs really did a wonderful job incorporating beach elements into all the florals! I especially loved the arch!
Mumford’s Culinary Center provided all the catering including the cake. The staff could not have been nicer! Minister Jessie Ferreira performed the ceremony. I loved how Tim made Sarah laugh! Sarah and Tim did not stop smiling as they danced their first dance to Talking Bird by Death Cab for Cutie! Tony from Cisco’s Premier DJ’s kept everyone on the dance floor for a fun afternoon of celebrating. Congratulations Sarah and Tim! I love that we share the same wedding anniversary!
