it is incredible how in a day…one single day…
amazing moments come together as one…
that simply take your breath away…
i love love love love love shooting weddings!

with each one I am blessed to be a part of, I never for one second take for granted what an amazing day I am being asked to record…
that I am invited to be a very real part of…and asked to create lasting memories for families…
what a blessing to turn a single day…into heirlooms…
so much planning goes into this day…as it should…and it is always so amazing to see it all come together…
the moment when the bride puts on her stunning dress is perhaps one of my favorites…
this moment…is the icing on the cake…the bride dons the gown she has waited her whole life to wear…
and jenn wore this day beautifully…

(how adorable are her flower girls)
i love this moment caught by my second shooter, Gena…she captured pure excitement
amazing florals by Jenny B Floral design
the bridal party was nothing short of…
beautiful…
the ceremony was held at Iglesia Ni Christo in Monclair…
such a gorgeous venue…
these next images speak for them self…
your ceremony was so beautiful…you were surrounded by all those who love you…
and most importantly…you vowed to love, honor, and cherish each other for all your life…
this day was a pretty amazing start to a lifetime together…
you guys just kinda, slightly, ok, absolutely belong together….

seriously LOVE these next two images of byron and jenn caught by my second shooter, Gena…
I am honored to have her talent, support, and creativity along with me on my weddings. So much of the day happens smoothly because of her…I am so thankful Gena…you deserve a HUGE shout out for all the awesome work you always do along side me.
I am constantly humbled by your talent!

yup…I took my beautiful bride and groom to a trailer park for portraits…
the light was amazing there…and they had a trailer in my favorite color…it was a win/win in my book!

loving the whole 007 feel to these images![]()

jenn is a riot…seriously one of the warmest people I have ever met…these kids were hanging out watching us take our wedding to the trailer park and I think they had never seen a more beautiful woman…so jenn treated them to a pic…hilarious
why can’t we all see life through the magic of children’s eyes?
(amazing wedding day coordination by Tiffany Luisi…I am sure jenn loved having a friend she could trust to make the day run smoothly…Thank you Tiffany for keeping me informed and on schedule…such a treat to work with a good coordinator. If you are looking for an amazing coordinator shoot tiffany an email at TiffanyNLuisi@yahoo.com)
some yummy reception details…
(yup…they had an IN & OUT truck at their reception…how rad is that?)

Byron’s entire family is good comedy…but I think his brother’s interpretive dance narrated by his other brother in the place of a traditional toast was pretty much one of the funniest things I have seen in a while…
these guys are hilarious!

DJ Buddy rocked out the party…and it was a partay!
Jenn and Byron…watching you two dance at his point of the evening…
I felt such a deep appreciation for the real privledge it was to not only photograph your wedding, but just to be in attendance.
You guys are good people. Your love is refreshing. Your generousity is inspiring. Your wedding day was simply stunning…
congratulations you two…
your day was beautiful!
xoxo
