Eman & Ryan




This past weekends bride was one of our most trendiest brides of the season. From the fabulous Louis Vuitton red shoes to the Oleg Cassini dress, Eman looked absolutely stunning! We began our day at the Hilton Garden in Raritan Center with our bride and then headed down to one or favorite beaches side locations, Pier Village in Long Branch. We had the most amazing lighting when we were there. The sky was a deep purple and pink color..it was such a spectacular view! It was quickly time for our couple, Eman and Ryan, to head off to trendy, Addison Park in Aberdeen for their reception. We always get excited to shoot at this venue!

We wish them the best! Congratulations!

Jennifer and Sean









Today's bride is one of a very familiar face. Jennifer is the fourth of a group of best friends that we have been photographing their weddings now for the past few years. Once the Heyn team arrived to Jennifer's mom's house, we went right to work photographing all of the brides key details for the day. We were able to get some great jewery shots and details as Jennifer finished her hair and makeup. Once we she was ready, we went right to our usual video lit bedroom shots. Jennifer's blue eyes were absolutely stunning compared to her pop of red lipstick. It was an amazing combination that we all fell in love with! It was quickly time to meet up with her groom Sean, at the Oyster Point Hotel for the couples first meeting. You could instantly see the love in their eyes for each other! The couple and bridal party then ventured to our new favorite park this season, Thompson Park in Lincroft. It's such a great park for engagement sessions or weddings. After some fun in the park, it was time for the couple to tie the knot at St. James Church in Red Bank. We snapped a few pictures on the streets of Red Bank before heading over to Water's Edge for the reception and some romantic sunset pictures of the newlyweds.




We wish you two the best!! Congratulations!!












Catherine and Derek



Catherine and Derek's day began at the Courtyard Hotel in Lyndhurst, NJ. It was great starting spot that complimented the couples classic, yet modern style. Catherine's theme of the day was glitz and glam. From her dazzling Kate Spade shoes and crystal detailed bouquet, Catherine hit every note! Her dress also had just the perfect amount sparkle for our fun bed shoots, she looked stunning throughout all of them! We then wrapped things up at the hotel and headed to St. Aloysius Church in Jersey City. It was same church that Catherine's parents got married in, making the ceremony even more special to them. After the couple officially tied the knot, it was time to go to Ninina's in the Park, in Belleville, NJ for more photographs. It is a perfect venue choice to have both your reception and photographs taken at because of the gorgeous courtyard they have there. The reception then kicked off with our good friend, Jay from Sound Connection, who always knows how to start a party!

Congratulations Catherine and Derek!!

Alison & David


Getting the chance to photograph at Windows on the Water is always a treat for us. On Alison and David's wedding day, that was not the only highlight of our day. We began with our beautiful bride, Alison, in the bridal suite where we did our fun getting ready shots. Along side with our bridal party, we headed over to another of our favorite spots, Deep Cut Park. Despite the cloudy sky, our bridal party brightened up the day with their colorful dresses. It was such a fun touch Alison added! We were also able to use the clouds to our advantage to get some stunning infrared photographs of the couple! After we wondered around to some of our favorite nooks in the park, it was time for Alison and David to tie the knot on the beach back at Windows on the Water. The nearby palmtrees gave the ceremony the feeling of a destination wedding that we always love! Guests then danced the night away during the reception!

Congratulations Alison and David!!










Amanda & Anthony






You may have done a double take at the above image thinking, "Kim Kardashian?" That was our exact thought on Amanda and Anthony's wedding day. Amanda spent much time perfecting her day and let us be the first to confirm, it was flawless! From her stunning lace dress and handmade vail to her venue choice of the famous Eagle Oaks country club, Amanda didn't skip a single beat. We also can't forget to mention the bridal parties gorgeous gowns from Two Birds. They were all uniquely wrapped to fit each girl perfectly! They had to be our favorite dresses this season. Once Amanda was ready to go, we met our groom, Anthony at our little nook in Spring Lake park. From there we ventured to the beach and down Main street before heading to the country club for the couples intimate outdoor ceremony. With the help of our long time friend, Mike Hernadez from Sounds To Go DJ's, the reception was a blast! Everyone was dancing, having a great time!

Congratulations Amanda and Anthony!!









Allyson & Chris






Although many of our brides may not agree with this, the Girls of Heyn Photography absolutely love a rainy wedding day. Not only for the good luck it brings our newly weds, but for the perfect lighting and unique look it brings to the day. For Allyson and Chris' wedding, perfect is an understatement. We started at the Ramada Hotel in Tom's River, NJ where our bride and bridal party were calm, cool and collectively getting everything together for the big day. The group then headed to one of the cutest little chapels in Allaire State Park that we have seen this season. After a short but very sweet ceremony, we took the couple to roam around the gorgeous grounds of the park. From the little house, windy paths and colorful trains, it truly was an amazing location that we hope to go back to soon! Once we had our fun in the puddles, we ventured back to the Ramada for the reception.

The day was an absolute treat for us to photograph and we wish Allyson and Chris the best on their marriage!! Congratulations!!

Jill & John




Jill and John's wedding day had every traditional detail that the girls of Heyn Photography always love to see. We started our day at Jill's mother's house where we did our dramatic bedroom shots. Jill and her bridal party both looked stunning in their gowns. The bright pop of purple was a fun detail that we instantly fell in love with! We then headed to our favorite beach town, Asbury Park, to meet up with our groom, John. The couple and bridal party had some fun in the Casino and beach where we got amazing infrared shots. The clouds couldn't have been more perfect that day! The couple made a quick stop at the old Ashes in Red Bank before getting to the Molly Pitcher for their ceremony and reception. The ceremony was held outside on their beautiful veranda that overlooks the Navesink River. We recommend it to any of our future brides having their day at the Molly Pitcher.



All in all the day was great and we wish Jill and John the best!!
