Still busy working on images from our last two weddings, we added another one to our portfolio last night with the ceremony for David and Jasmin. Though the day was a bit dreary, this loving couple didn’t mind and couldn’t have been more excited to be getting married!
Arriving early at the Sussex United Methodist Church in Sussex New Jersey, we poked around to see what we would be working with. Knowing that Dave and Jasmin were very religious, our eyes immediately became fixated on a cross at the front of the church, hung in front of the beautiful organ pipes. We decided to try and incorporate this into our “theme” for the day!
We made our way down to where Jasmin would be getting ready and waited for her to arrive. Once she had arrived, we captured some detail shots as well as the final stages of her slipping into her dress and then headed back upstairs and readied for the ceremony.
Since the ceremony and following reception were brief in nature, the night flew past us before we knew it. However, everything went perfectly smooth and without a hitch and both David and Jasmin were extremely happy that they could now be called husband and wife. Here are some sneak peek shots from their wedding …
The final part of our little mini series covers the wedding between Laurel and Patrick – a fun loving couple who has also been together for what seems like an eternity! As you might remember, we did an engagement session for them for them back in July …
Because their wedding was taking place a bit earlier in the day, we headed out early Sunday morning to meet up with the bride in Wayne New Jersey to provide some coverage of her and the rest of the bridal party getting ready before the ceremony. From the hair to the makeup, we snapped shots of it all as Laurel and Patrick are very similar to us – they love photographs and capturing those little details!
Since we would also be covering the wedding and reception via video as well, Sean (my brother and trusted videographer) decided to tag along a bit early so he could add some of his own style to our photographs before he was needed behind the video lens. He added his own views to our shots and helped get the bride, groom and anyone else positioned for some of our shots.
As Laurel finished up and headed over to the Tides in Haledon, Sean and I went down the hallway of the hotel to meet up with Patrick and his groomsmen. Though a bit nervous for the big day ahead, Patrick was ready to get married more than any groom I’ve met before. We were able to translate that energy into some great shots of Patrick in the room and in the nearby elevator (which I think we broke).
Once we were all set, Sean and I headed out for the Tides to capture Laurel in the final stages before the ceremony. Unfortunately, we missed a turn and took the long way around. After a few sweaty moments of not knowing where we were or where we were going, we finally found the right road and made a dash for the Tides.
The rest of the day went extremely smooth and we captured some incredible shots of this amazing couple. After a great cocktail hour, a few drinks and a very good DJ and MC … nearly everyone at the reception was jammed onto the dance floor having the time of their lives.
As the night finally wound down, we all looked at each other and couldn’t believe how fast the day had gone. Here is a sneak peek from one very fun wedding …
