I feel so blessed to say- I have the best clients!!!  Sarah and John exude love.  I mean you can truly feel how much they care about eachother when you are with them.  Their family and friends are beaming, beaming because the are so happy for them.  It is such a beautiful sight to behold.

Sarah is so incredible…she had everything planned for their day perfectly.  She was so amazing at planning, but most importantly, she start a blog to document her wedding planning.  What a fabulous idea!!  I was able to check regularly to see was important to her on her wedding day, each item that she had taken special care selecting, what was specially made, and how important it was.  Every detail had a story.  When I arrived, every piece fell into place…and I knew exactly how important it was to them.

The wedding was beautiful- even though the northeast encountered a huge winter storm.  No one seemed mind at all- in fact, the storm held off till the ceremony was over, and made for some beautiful winter wedding photos.

Here are the preparation photos- stay tuned for the ceremony and portraits:)

Wedding coordinator: Holly at Exquisite Affairs Productions

Florist: New City Florist

Reception: The Nyack Seaport

The bride’s exquisite dress was from Platinum for Precilla

Sarah had vintage pins sewn on her Manolo Blahniks!  LOVE Them!

The groomsmen each wore boutonnieres made by one of the bridesmaids mother.  Aren’t the beautiful!

The holiday season is here, and I find myself playing catch up with my fall posts.  I’m sorry internet…I will try to do better in the future:)

Sharri wanted to do a bridal portrait at Monmouth University with a splash of trash the dress.  I think most brides love the idea of a trash the dress session, but don’t actually want to ruin their dress.  I completely agree, in fact, I think the term “trash the dress” has a broad definition.  It can simply mean more daring poses than the wedding day such as sitting on the ground or dirty pavement, or it can literally mean trashing your dress i.e. in the ocean or rolling around in the dirt.  Either way…I love shooting these sessions.  Often they are so much more relaxed than the wedding day and you get some really fun shots.  Sharri was awesome…she chose to climb a tree in her dress.  How a cool is that…tuille and satin contrasted with bark and foliage.  I love it.  I totally give her props:)

Enjoy!
