Great wedding on Saturday August, 15. Irene and AJ got ready at the Hyatt in Jersey City. It was great seeing photographer Jose Reyes again. I think we’re both coming from the same referrals, and will actually be seeing eachother again in this weekend. Everything was really on time with these guys. Plenty of time to get some great shots of Irene and the girls getting ready, and AJ and the guys chillin with Empanadas. That was the magic word to get AJ to smile that day, Empanadas, haha.
They had a traditional Filipino Ceremony at Holy Family Church in Nutley. They’re reception was at the Liberty house, back in Jersey City. We stopped nearby at this historical train station. I had been there before for some great bridal part shots, so I suggested it, as it’s like 2 blocks away from Liberty house. It was an awesome spot to get some great shots of Irene and AJ, and their bridal party.
The reception was a lot of fun, plenty of great dancing, and everything was going well, until I got a rumbly in my tumbly. Something I ate was not agreeing with me, and I truly felt sick for a few minutes. I thought I was going to hurl on the dance floor during their bouquet and garter toss. I was filming and holding it back, and thankfully I didn’t toss my empanadas and my stomach calmed down. Oh my God, I was imagining being on Youtube puking on the floor. Would I have filmed myself doing it, or would it have been Irene’s video enthusiast Dad, with his trusty camcorder? Haha.
Well, I was able to work it through, but it was one of those moments where a 2nd cam would definitely come in handy. Someone to keep filming even when we have a man down. It was a beautiful, and yes hot day, and definitely a future demo sample. Congrats guys!!!
