Erin & James at the Morristown Hyatt

We returned to Morristown to photograph Erin and James, a great couple who brought lots of joy and energy to their wedding celebration. We started at the Morristown Hyatt for some getting ready images, including these portraits:

Looking at those smiles, you can feel the excitement and joy... And if you need some more evidence, check out Erin with her girls:

Meanwhile, Keith was downstairs in the lobby with the guys, and since this was FIFA World Cup time, they were focused on the match:

Then it was off to Bernardsville for the ceremony at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, a beautiful church with gothic detailing:

This made for some very dramatic scenes, along with some spontaneous moments of fun:

All leading to the kiss and exuberant exit:

Now we return to Morristown, where we spent a little time strolling outside with Erin and James, just letting them enjoy each other while we captured images with our long lenses, they really made it so easy:

That's just beautiful, the way it's supposed to be!

Time for the reception, with some nice details to set the scene:

And our newlyweds savor the moments of their first dance:

Out come the props, for some serious goofing with all their friends and family:

And some beautiful slow dance moments also:

Love is in the room, with Erin and James surrounded:

It was a great day! Thanks, Erin and James, you guys are the best...

Raiza & Eric at the Glen Ridge Women's Club

Since we live in Glen Ridge, it was a very convenient commute for Raiza & Eric's celebration at the Glen Ridge Women's Club, a lovely, tasteful and historic venue right on Ridgewood Avenue. They hit the weather jackpot, with a beautiful day in April, and it was great to feel the joy, not only from Eric & Raiza, but also from their friends and family. 

Shelley started with some getting ready pix at their home, once again finding the nice light for some unposed portraits before Raiza left for the club, she's a beauty:

Meanwhile, Keith was already at the club with Eric and his son for last minute detailing and a few posed shots:

Eric's son was the ringbearer, so he was in charge of this beautiful handmade box, designed by Eric:

A couple shots from the ceremony-- we still got some great moments, working around all the competing amateur guest "photographers":

After the receiving line, we used some of the cocktail time to take a little stroll on Ridgewood Ave. -- Raiza and Eric did a great job of working the camera:

Back inside, we had some fun capturing some of the simple but beautiful details that brought so much character to the reception room-- love the simplicity combined with attention to nuance:

Here's an energized entrance shot at the start of the party:

And a selection of images from the party that ensued:

Big fun for all, with some nice Caribbean flavor mixed in... 

In addition to putting together a great wedding day, Raiza & Eric got their list of album images figured out in record time. It was our pleasure to deliver their finished album just 2 months after the wedding! These two have a great future, and we appreciate the opportunity to make a record of their celebration!
