Carissa and Jason's big day was entirely at Westmount Country Club in West Paterson. We had a great time capturing the events, and it was a beautiful day for both families and guests. Let's begin with a gorgeous bride, Carissa with that wedding day glow, and looking fabulous from any angle:

And the perfect complement, Jason is looking sharp:

The weather was changeable, threatening to thunderstorm, but it held off for them, which allowed an outdoor ceremony:

Here are some key moments from their celebration, with our photographic teamwork bringing multiple viewpoints:

Carissa and Jason did a great job, lots of poise and joy-- and you could feel the love and support from all the guests....

Then it was back inside for cocktails:

The Westmount interior spaces are very impressive, and we made some shots in the ballroom also:

What a beautiful scene! So let's get this party started, with C&J's exuberant entrance:

So often, the first dance is where all the emotionality of the day comes together, and this first dance was no exception, with a combination of wide angle and close up images that tell the story:

Delicious moments, and then onto the Hora, big fun for all:

Dining and dancing ensued, with Carissa setting the tone for friends and family:

In the middle of it all, we still are collecting some images of beautiful (and caloric) details:

The late afternoon light presented some dramatic possibilities for images, capturing the ambient lighting design on the dance floor:

And as the sun set, we took Carissa and Jason out to the balcony for some classic portraits:

The party vibe continued, with help from an exciting and versatile band, White Light:

A great day for one and all! Thanks to Carissa and Jason for the planning, poise and emotion!
