Alyson & Matt

Saturday had the distinction of being Alyson & Matt's wedding. Instead of Monmouth our bride and groom wanted to spice up their pictures by using a different college location-- Georgian Court. After a slew of weddings at Monmouth we have to admit we really enjoyed the change of pace-- with greenery like Georgian's it feels like a park session and a university setting all in one!

Matt is a volunteer fireman so you'll notice that his friends from the firehouse drove him around in style-- forget a limo, he had a FIRETRUCK! You know that we had tons of fun shooting with it and it gave their day a signature unlike any other. Alyson looked every inch the bride and was so pleasant that we were smiling ear to ear when we left for the night.

E-Session: Gabe & Alicia

Apparently the fall is the season for E-Sessions because as we are looking over our schedule for the upcoming couple of months there are a lot of E-Sessions. Last weekend happened to be Gabe & Alicia's E-Session which lasted almost twice as long as most sessions because we kept hitting location after amazing location with them in Hoboken!

We started in an exclusive apartment complex where climbing onto some terraces got us (slightly) in trouble but when you see the view we got it was clearly worth the slap on the wrist! After that we walked around Washington Street and did some really different street stuff-- look at the Karma Kafe, and the stoops! Also never underestimate the power of brick walls and interesting architecture like garages and buildings. It wouldn't be Hoboken without a stop in the train session and the gorgeous park that is right next to it.

Having a park right in such a cool cityscape is a welcome change of pace and the ferry docks made for an innovative backdrop. The train session had just a couple of quick shots because we had something really unique waiting for us down the street--- we were actually allowed to take a couple shots in the bar Teak! How pretty is their lighting?

Gabe and Alicia were TROOPERS for keeping the vibe light and funny the entire time we shot. We can't wait to shoot their wedding!

Jennifer & Luis

Occasionally we get a bride who is so stunning that we all fight amongst ourselves for who gets to be on the job-- Jennifer was definitely on that list of brides. She had a style that set her apart from most jobs with a Butterfly Net veil, gorgeous vintage inspired floral dress and snakeskin (yes SNAKESKIN) shoes. Jennifer was our Marilyn Monroe for the day and we couldn't stop clicking away at her (especially those bluer-than-blue eyes)

This was easily the best weather of the summer-- 75 degrees, perfect clouds, light breeze and zero rain. It seemed like the entirety of Ocean Grove came out to witness the wedding on the beach. The sky and crashing waves made the ideal backdrop for this couple and you'll see how much the camera loves them both. We wish them the very best and can't express how much we loved their session!!

New E-Session: Lindsay and Kevin

Weddings can be the gift that keeps on giving-- in this case we have had the pleasure of booking several girls in a group of friends after doing the wedding of some of their college friends. Lindsay is one of those friends and we were psyched to do her engagement session in Spring Lake! Lindsay lucked out and really got some of those fall colors in her park session. Because Spring Lake has a park, a cool little town, and a beach all within a block of one another Lindsay was able to get three different locations without any fuss and it was really worth it.

Lindsay and Kevin rocked their E-Session and we can't wait for their New Year's Eve wedding!!!

Randa & Dave

Hurricane Earl was side-stepping the coast on the day of Randa & Dave's wedding and we were lucky enough to barely notice! It was cloudy but there was hardly any rain and what rain there was didn't even require an umbrella-- talk about lucky!!!!!

Randa had a beautifully outfitted townhouse that we had a ball shooting in! She even let us play around with Dave's guitar for a little while :) After the house was yet another weekend at Monmouth University and we have to say-- that location never gets old. The bride and groom met each other for the first time in the columns and proceeded to have an excellent session wandering around the halls.

We wound up at Addison Park and for those of you looking for that classic black and white ballroom venue Addison is for you!
