There are no better words to describe Jackie & Keith’s beautiful wedding day other than “a dream come true”. Of course for the happy bride and groom but also for me! I have been dying to photograph not only a city wedding but wedding in a city that just means the world to me, Hoboken! Hoboken is where so much of Jose’s and mine’s own love story started so I’m a bit biased in thinking it’s a bit romantic. Luckily so do Jackie & Keith. They just LOVE this city that they have made their home and thought “Why not get married in the city we love?” When they got engaged and started planning their big wedding day full of 150+ guests, they suddenly realized they couldn’t wait a year and a half to get married. They wanted to get married NOW, as quickly as possible and celebrate with the friends and family closest to them and that’s just what they did! They switched all their plans of getting married NEXT year to get married this August in the city they love. A best man, a maid of honor, the tiniest church in Hoboken & a private dinner in the courtyard of an adorable restaurant were all the ingredients needed to make it the perfect day. Talk about romantic! We made sure to hit up all their favorite spots in their beloved city for their portraits… the waterfront, Lackawanna Train Station, even Jackie’s favorite brownstone! What truly made their wedding day wasn’t where we were but the laughter they enjoyed with friends, the sweet tears shed from their family and the love that have for each other. I was so sad to see their day come to an end but am so happy to relive it again here on the blog today 🙂 And get ready, this is  LONG post because we had SO MUCH TIME to take photos of them all over Hoboken and there are just too many great photos not to share!
Jackie & Keith – your day was just WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for letting Jose & I capture it for you and celebrate in your love with you. And a special thank you to you and your families for treating US like family throughout the entire day. We hope you LOVE your photos and cherish them for years to come! Enjoy your blog post 🙂
In LOVE with the succulents in Jackie’s bouquet! And that little pin is her something blue to pin in her dress 😉
I mean… when the bride is wearing Jimmy Choo’s you take a million photos of those Jimmy Choo’s.
LOVE the W hotel in Hoboken for a getting ready location… this wall was AMAZING!!
A perfect view of the Manhattan Skyline from the bridal suite.. and Jackie, the gorgeous bride already glowing!
LOVE the color of the Maid of Honor’s J.Crew dress
Time to get ready!!
Just STUNNING!!
Meanwhile on the other side of Hoboken, Jose was capturing Keith getting ready 🙂
LOVED these awesome plaid ties!
How adorable is this photo of Keith and his mom?? Love it 🙂
Time for their First Look on Sinatra Drive!
They were so excited to see each other… and immediately popped some bubbly!
The waterfront was just PERFECT for family portraits 😉
It was so fun and easy having a small bridal party!
A must do – a photo in front of the Hoboken Mural!
The gorgeous bride and her favorite Hoboken Brownstone 🙂 LOVE the color of that door!!
Definitely my favorite shot from the entire day!!
We than made our way up to Steven’s Institute for some beautiful photos of the skyline above Hoboken
LOVE!! 🙂
Lackawanna train station is a pretty incredible place to take photos! Could not get enough of shooting here.
I mean… HOW MAGICAL IS THIS??
It really was like Prince Charming walking Cinderella down the stairs and into the ball… so dreamy!
Beautiful!
We than made our way to the church for their beautiful ceremony!
OFFICIALLY HUSBAND AND WIFE!!
This photo is kind of crazy. Guests were flashing their cameras like CRAZY, which is not always great, and it illuminated them at this very minute I caught it! That’s why it is so bright looking!
YAY! We walked the long way to their Reception to capture some more photos of them around Hoboken.
Jackie & Keith were game for everything! This was a must do shot for them – riding the swings!
Their cocktail hour and reception dinner was at The Fig Tree in Hoboken. Such a charming little restaurant!
This was a last minute decision – Jumbo Jenga and corn hole! 🙂
LOVED this three string trio, they were AMAZING! And the fact that their sheet music was on iPads – too cool for words 🙂
Can we talk about this cake? It was the prettiest and most PERFECT cake I think I’ve ever seen!
So many adorable little details to photograph 🙂 I couldn’t get enough!
Sweet toasts in the courtyard!
Followed by their special dances 🙂
And we left them to enjoy their intimate dinner party with their guests 🙂 LOVE LOVE LOVE it all!
