I can’t think of a better word to use to describe Stephanie & Michael’s wedding day as other that… CHILL! When I arrived to photograph Michael & his awesome groomsmen – yes awesome. I am just going to go out and say it – this is my favorite bunch of groomsmen this wedding season! Michael, his groomsmen & his parents were so welcoming and sweet and made me feel right at home while photographing them all getting ready. Michael was so sweet and helpful, quiet and relaxed… but I could sense that deep down he was really anxious to see his beautiful bride. And wow, was she beautiful! When I met with Stephanie and her bridesmaids right before she walked down the aisle, I was blown away by how gorgeous she was! Her dress, her headpiece and the bride herself were stunning! What I loved most about their wedding day is you could see the minute Stephanie joined Michael at the aisle that he was so much calmer & happier… and the smile on his face stayed there for the rest of the day.

Their reception was held at the stunning Preakness Hills Country Club but what made their wedding day better  (for me) was seeing their DJ’s for the reception were Posh Entertainment! I am biased because Mikey B – the owner of Posh Entertainment – was our very own DJ at my wedding! He really is the BEST & I was so excited when I saw they were the entertainment hosts. As I expected, they kept the guests up and dancing all night! 🙂

It was so much fun to shoot this wedding along side the amazing Jacqueline Patton – who is based in California! Yup, she is a bicoastal photographer and she is incredible. Jacqueline, thank you for having me along capturing Stephanie & Michael’s wonderful wedding day. And to the happy couple, I wish you nothing but more love, more smiles & more laughter in your marriage for years to come! 🙂

Their ceremony was held at Saint Henry’s Roman Catholic Church in Bayonne – one of the most beautiful churches I’ve ever seen!

Stephanie & Michael’s wedding colors were gold, white & black – and this reception room to go along with their colors was STUNNING! Notice the cranes hanging from the ceiling!

Of course at the end of their first dance… they decided to surprise attack us with some “Sexy and I know it!”

Father and Daughter dances are always so rough for me… and theirs was just the sweetest!

    I loved all your photos as much as I adored you when you came to Mike’s house. You were perfect for this group! Being the mom of the groom was not easy with all those men so I loved having you there with me. Thank you for helping make it all special in photos!
