The Mountain View Golf Course wedding of Jessica and Ben

Jessica was the maid of honor at Politimi and Nick’s Wedding. They referred her to us. I actually photographed this one myself, rather than sending my usual crew, in order to work with their budgetary constraints. I’ve photographed many engagement shoots, but when it comes to a wedding I’m usually behind a video camera. However I’ve definitely learned from the best over the years, and it’s actually MUCH easier to transition to photography from videography than the other way around. A lot of the concepts are similar, but of course with video we’re worried more about holding our shots longer and steady, and audio, and motion, etc.

Jessica and Ben both got ready at the Spring Hill Suites in Ewing Township NJ. I started with the girls, who were in the midst of hair and makeup. Got some beautiful shots of the dress against that beautiful cloudy sky threatening to rain. It was great to see Politimi again, and hear about her baby. Jessica and Ben have a boy together as well, and he’s adorable. You’ll see plenty of him after the ceremony which was at Sayen Gardens in Hamilton NJ. It was lightly drizzling, misting really, as the ceremony began. Thankfully it stopped. I barely had enough time to get positioned before snapping some shots of the girls making their way down the aisle. Should have probably left sooner from the hotel sooner, but I didn’t really expect them to start immediately upon arrival, haha.

The ceremony was very sweet. I love the emotion from Jessica, and the big smiles from Ben. You can see they’re really in love. Afterwards we got some great shots with the 2 of them, family, and bridal party. The location is gorgeous. If we had more time I would have liked to go around more, I’ve been there before and there are plenty of spots for great shots. It was off to the Reception though at Mountain View Golf Course back in Ewing NJ. A nice little spot for more intimate events. Guests had already started enjoying cocktail hour, and soon after we did introductions, first dance, parent dances, and toasts. Then the rest of the night was just fun partying. A great couple, and a beautiful day.

The Imperia Same Day Edit of Vanessa and Rafael

Vanessa and Rafael booked us for photography and videography for their day. German and I started with Vanessa at the Fairfield Inn in Somerset NJ, while Steven and Pete were with Rafael at his home. We LOVED Vanessa’s shoes, a sweet pair of sneakers. They did a first reveal at the Imperia on Easton, located in Somerset NJ, where the ceremony and reception would be held. After a sweet reunion we then captured some great family and bridal party portraits, plus some with their Daughter. The word of the day was mocos, to get extra big smiles, especially from their daughter. That’s spanish for Boogers, haha.

The beautiful ceremony was highlighted by a special gift for their little girl, and some tearful vows. The Imperia amazed as usual with a fantastic cocktail hour before the bride and groom were introduced into the reception, in the lower room. It was a fun evening with some amazing emotional moments like the mother daughter dance, and the speech by Vanessa before it. While we were busy filming, Rahim, our editor, was in back putting together an amazing little Same Day Highlights to show everyone.

The Westmount Country Club Wedding of Katherina and Giovanni

Katherina and Giovanni’s beautiful and fun wedding started with coverage as the each got ready at their parent’s homes. Steven and I were with Katherina and the girls, while German and Pete were with Giovanni and the guys. It was a brisk January day with snow on the ground, and excitement in the air. The girls proved to be just as fun as the guys while grabbing some group shots before the ceremony. The ceremony was at Sacred Heart in Lyndhurst NJ and featured some Filipino wedding traditions such as the coins, the cord and the veil. Afterwards we made a quick stop at the beautiful home these two built, and then it was off to the Westmount Country Club in Woodland Park NJ for some fun bridal party pics and an awesome reception. I loved this couple from the moment I met them. So full of energy and happiness, and just the sweetest people. We wish you both a lifetime of love and laughter.

The Highlawn Pavillion Wedding of Aurora and Paul

Aurora and Paul started their wedding day getting ready at the Westminster Hotel in Livingston NJ. Millie and I were with Aurora and the girls, while German and Dave were with Paul and the guys. Aurora got upset when she realized she had forgotten her tiara all the way back at home. The bridesmaids swung into action to ensure a replacement was found nearby, and luckily they found one. Of course everyone reminded her that if this were the worse thing that happened, it wasn’t that bad at all 😉 Meanwhile the guys were busy leaping off a bench outside the lobby, haha.

After everyone got ready we headed off to the ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Nutley. The reception followed at The Highlawn Pavillion in West Orange at the Eagle Rock Reservation. We even got to tour the wine cellar for some great shots. It was a nice day for a white wedding 😉

The Bridgewater Manor Wedding of Anna and Juan

Anna and Juan are definitely a unique couple. This was Juan’s 2nd marriage, and from speaking with him a few times I could tell he learned a lot from mistakes made in his first marriage, and I could tell he was going to go above and beyond for Anna, including giving her a beautiful wedding. So, they booked us for Photography as well as videography. At first they just got 1 cam coverage but upgraded to 2 cam video when we got closer to the wedding for better coverage. They stuck with 1 photographer, and for their smaller wedding it was more than enough. Since Juan wasn’t interested in having a videographer with him getting ready, we all started with Anna at their home.

She was in excellent spirits and the girls were in full swing finishing up hair and makeup when we arrived. One of my favorite shots was the candy land characters holding their wedding bands.

The Ceremony was St. Francis Episcopal Church in Dunellen NJ, featuring a harpist Anna chose, and the reception followed at the Bridgewater Manor in Bridgewater NJ, with a live mariachi band during cocktail hour and sombreros gallore including as centerpieces to celebrate Juan’s Mexican heritage. Everyone had an awesome time and you can see the videos and photos below.

We created this short trailer for them 2 weeks after the wedding:
