Meryam and Michael came in to meet with us along with their friends Monica and Mark. They were planning Coptic Weddings, which is Egyptian Orthodox Christian weddings, and both getting married at St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church in East Brunswick NJ. We had done a coptic wedding there a few years earlier, so we had some experience at that church, and I was able to share a sample.
Meryam and Michael were going to see each other before hand at a Park in New Brusnwick for some great couple and bridal party shots, but first I started with Meryam and her girls, while Dave was with Michael and the guys. Her mom was so sweet, and Meryam definitely inherited that. She’s a sweetheart, and was smiling throughout the whole makeup process. The guys were just hanging out, and Michael talked about how he knew everyone, and his love for Meryam.
Then we met up for some wedding party shots at Boyd Park on Rt 18 in New Brunswick, before heading over to St. Mary’s for the Coptic ceremony. Michael was worried about his resting face being a little serious, but we got some great shots of the 2 of them along with all the guests through the ceremony.
After the ceremony we headed over to The Grove for an awesome reception. The cocktail hour at this place is insane, and the couple peaked out from their balcony for a moment to some cheering. Then the party started with some fun introductions, and a beautiful first dance and parent dances. After toasts the rest of the night was just partying. We did a Same Day Highlights just as we did for Monica and Mark, which came out pretty awesome. Your personal Soundtrack is going to make the big difference in how things feel, so it’s important to choose a great song. It was a beautiful day for a sweet couple.
