thank you for checking out our blog. please note, these weddings are posted totally at random. it would be so perfect if we could post each and every beautiful day that we shoot, however, since we are a boutique studio, we don't have as much time to blog as we would like.
maggie's grandfather was a marine in world war II. she wore one of his tags on her foot, the other tag is worn by her cousin, who has been through the ringer as a marine fighting in afghanistan. it was really a pleasure meeting him. i always like to take the time to tell our troops that they are appreciated. i also like to show off my useless knowledge of afghanistan to pretty much anyone who will listen. actually i guess i like to show off my useless knowledge about anything to anyone who will listen. right lovina? what a great day we had though. maggie + andrew had a blast as did we photographing the handsome couple. as per usual, the entire staff @ the molly pitcher were top notch
some of the groomsmen did a little skit for the best mans speech! So frikkin' funny!!!
we had some moon that night
the view is right from the molly
the large building inthe background of this shot is our studio!!
WOW! the reaction of the girls in the bridal party alone was enough excitement for the whole day!!! and rightly so...leah looked stunning in james clifford collection.leah + mike had a very monmouth beach day. after doing some fun relaxed photos on the beach we headed right over to the channel club for the ceremony and reception. thanks to fred, nick, liz and the staff @ the channel club for another perfect day!!! p.s i was listening to mudhoney real loud when i edited this one so please forgive the excessive use of my grunge rock action!!
tara + rob had the perfect day for a wedding. what a fun crew as well! they were married @ elberon memorial church, which was a totally cute chapel built in 1886. she had a fluer de lis motif which showed itself in her beautiful flowers by boxwood gardens in fair haven. we traveled over to a wildlife preserve right around the block in eatontown. who knew, a mall and a nature preserve right around the corner from our house! the over to mcloone's in sea bright where the cafe wha? band! rocked the night. dean scala played guitar with them that night and was awesome.
If you follow this blog you will see a photo of me on a state trooper's prowler in the process of being arrested. Well Drew is the groom who's prowler it was , and yes, I'm outta jail now! What a wonderful wedding this was. Its always a pleasure to work with a wedding planner who is at the top of their game and Paulette Robinson is just that. Wait until you see these details. Lea looked stunning in her Kleinfeld's collection gown. With make-up byJosie Vega @ Face FX Lea looked perfect. RSVP TO ME @ K. Samm Living K. Samm living @ 29 Monmouth St. in Red Bank, did the awesome invitations. Sassy Chic Boutique did beautiful bridal details. This was the second time we had the opportunity to photograph the Hellenic Dancers of NJ (732-229-3998) Amazing!!! They are outta control!!!
