Fun with Jen & Matt at Wilson Hall
Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 05:44PM Jennifer and Matthew, AKA Jen & Matt, covered three locations on their wedding day, starting with their ceremony in Brick, then onto Wilson Hall at Monmouth University, and finally arriving at the PNC Arts Center for the reception. Sometimes all these locations can make for complicated logistics, but all in all it went pretty smoothly, and everybody had a lot of fun. Even with all the different locations, the best thing about this wedding was: Jen and Matt! Their positivity and sense of joy really set the tone for the bridal party, friends and family. The fun starts at the top, and these guys were taking care of biz...
So let's begin with a beautiful portrait of Jen, just ready to leave her house for the church (I guess that actually makes 4 locations altogether):

Somebody's happy! Now, the ceremony was beautiful and meaningful, with some serious moments of commitment and connection. We took advantage of our photographic teamwork to capture these synchronized views of Jen processing (check out the gorgeous gown) while Matt watches:

And a nice exit shot as our newly married couple recess:

Black and white works great for classic images like these, it's timeless.
Now the scene changes to Wilson Hall, where we had a blast making creative shots with the bridal party. Here's one we loved, each person bringing something unique, and yet it all works together:

Big fun! And while we were there, we spent a few minutes creating some portraits with Jen & Matt, lots of nice opportunities at this beautiful location:



We could have used some more time at Wilson Hall, but soon enough it was onto the PNC Arts Center, which most of us think of for big summertime open air concerts-- but they also have a nice reception hall there too. Definitely worth a look, and it's right off the GSP, super convenient... The party was rocking, and we got some cool dancing evidence:

It was a great day, and we appreciate all the planning, presence and joy that Jen and Matt brought to it! We close this one with a shot of their cup-cake cake, along with, you know, that kissing thing...
