Christina & Marco at The Manor

The Manor is just 15 minutes from us here in Glen Ridge, so it was an easy commute for Christina and Marco's wedding. Christina looked awesomely beautiful, and Marco was just about knocked off his feet when her saw her for the first time before the ceremony:

And here are a couple quick portraits we made, finding some nice shade around all that morning sun:

Their ceremony was outside, with the overhead light making lots of interesting and dramatic shadows-- tricky to shoot, but it makes for memorable imagery:

After the ceremony, during the receiving line, Keith captured this image of Christina and her flowers:

And their party was set in one of the splendid rooms at The Manor, with great light and fine details:

Party Time.....

We talked them into a quick return outside, taking advantage of the beautiful late afternoon light:

It was a great day! Thanks, Christina and Marco, the start of a beautiful story...

Alison & Rich's Spring Lake Wedding

Spring Lake is just about our favorite spot on the Jersey Shore, so we were pleased to be there for Alison and Rich's beautiful wedding day. Shelley made this classic portrait with window light:

And then Alison and her girls arrived at the church in syle, via a vintage trolley--

The ceremony was at the Church of the Holy Trinity, a small, historic site with impressive architectural details:

and Keith was lucky enough to catch this moment right outside, one happy couple!

Shooting from our car as we followed the trolley, Shelley got this shot of Ali and Rich leaving the church--

And on we went to the reception at Spring Lake Bath & Tennis Club, where we took advantage of the "golden hour" light to get some pix on the beach:

At the start of the party, the fun continued with their first dance:

We love it when a couple sets a tone of fun and laughter for the evening, and these guys sure did that!

and all their guests were happy to join in:

It was a memorable day with a great couple at a great location.... thanks, Ali and Rich!
