I’ve often said that I love what I do because weddings are a microcosm of human emotion. Marissa + Patrick’s wedding certainly fit the bill.

It was a rainy day at Mercer Oaks, but that didn’t stop anyone from having a great time. Their closest friends and family came to celebrate and laugh with a couple so clearly right for each other, and to honor and remember Patrick’s brother and best man who was tragically killed while serving in Afghanistan. It was a day that covered the full spectrum of emotion, and I was honored to be there to document it.

It’s days like their’s that serve as reminders that what matters isn’t the centerpieces or programs or details. It’s the connection between a couple and the support of those closest to them.

Marissa + Patrick – thank you.

Jen + Steven’s crazy, awesome, insane, amazing day saw my return to the Palace in Somerset, NJ. I should have known their day was going to be incredible. They are, after all, clearly made for each other. Just look at Steven’s reaction the first time he saw his bride!

Their wonderful family and friends truly made this a day to remember. Everything – from the abundance of great food (and desserts!) to the details to the dress to the venue – complimented their personalities, their relationship, and their hopes for the future.

J + S – thank you for letting me document your day!

Jessica + Peter’s wedding had it all… 1) Amazing venue (National Constitution Center) 2) One of the best bands in the business (The Sid Miller Dance Band) 3) Incredible flowers and event design by Evantine. Seriously. Take a look at that chuppah! But most of all it had a sweet, smart couple that are clearly in love. It had their wonderful friends and family come together to celebrate their day. When you have that, all of the above is just (really, really awesome) icing on the cake.

I’ve often thought that it would be so cool if more of my clients had boats. Abi + Fred apparently felt that same.

Their wedding was a wonderful day that featured a boat (way cooler than a limo!), a beach, some amazing people and a new married couple that were so obviously meant to be. Just watch the slideshow and you’ll see what I mean!
