Becky + Cory // At Home Wedding

BlairstownNJWedding_0101.jpg

When I visited the home of Cory and Becky earlier this year, I started counting down the days until their at home, September wedding. Their property is drop dead gorgeous with fields and views galore! They were planning to have their entire celebration their on their property and I was so excited to see the day come together! 

When the day finally arrived, it was perfection. The temperatures were cooler than a normal day in early September, but the cooler temps and spotty cloud cover made it for pretty much perfect wedding day weather. Paul was with me along with the amazing and awesome Fabiana and we were all ready to capture these two becoming man and wife! 

I've totally enjoyed getting to know Becky and Cory over the past few months and their Spring engagement session was one of my favorites. The love and respect they share for each other is so obvious even in just the small glances that they share. They planned this entire day and pulled it off with perfection. They did an amazing job at putting together their entire day and spending the time with them and their family and friends was so fun. The day was fun, relaxed and the epitome of the two of them. Their dogs were a huge part of their day (which I of course loved!) and one of my favorite parts was during the ceremony when their son Logan joined them at the altar with the rings. So sweet!!

Their portrait session was one for the books as the sun made an appearance right at the perfect time. And the views on their property are second to none. After that we headed to the tent for an amazing meal and party. But most important, these two are now man and wife! Congrats Becky and Cory!!

Ryan + Michelle // Park Chateau NJ Wedding

The wedding of Ryan & Michelle at The Park Chateau was one I was looking to for a looooong time. I met Michelle through the Rising Tide Society and she is honestly one of the sweetest and nicest people I have ever met. She runs a thriving hair and makeup business and is not only a sweetheart, but a master at what she does! 

When she and Ryan got engaged all of us were SO excited that one of our own was about to plan her own wedding!! My great friend Jennifer Larson was on tap to shoot their wedding and when she asked me to 2nd shoot with her I was over the moon excited to not only come to their wedding but to be able to serve them on their most special day!

The entire week leading up to the wedding, the forecast called for rain. We were kind of all hoping it would be typical and change a few days closer but NOPE. Literally the app said 100% chance of rain from like 9am till 10pm. Seriously. 100%. And it was right. It literally rained and rained and rained all day, but that did not dampen anyone's spirits! Everyone had an amazing day and the venue was so stunningly gorgeous that it didn't even matter. So many awesome places to shoot inside as well! 

I hung out with Ryan and his brothers and let me tell you the three of them were hysterical. And when Ryan opened his gift from Michelle, I'm telling you, it was probably the best groom reaction to a gift that I have ever seen. She did give him a Rolex watch, so there's that, but seriously, he was blown away!! It was so awesome to document that!

The ceremony was lovely and the reception was awesome. So much love in one room together. It was a pleasure and an honor to play a part in their forever. Congratulations to Ryan and Michelle!! Check out Jennifer's blog post for the FULL story of the day!
