Steve and Jessica at Addison Park

I have been looking forward to this wedding since I met with Steve and Jessica. Why? Because I knew it was going to be good times. And I knew this because I photographed the grooms cousins wedding a few years before and their wedding was good times. And today was definitely GREAT TIMES! AND among all the crazy weather we have been having and are due to have Steve and Jessica really walked away with a PERFECT fall day at Addison Park. Addison park is a really nice place. However I do have two annoyance about them. As we were doing photos in the lobby where the bride wanted her photos it was getting close to ceremony time and people were starting to show up. Mind you the ceremony was outside and they did not have to go inside  at all to get to the ceremony. I am right in the middle of a family portrait and the head waitress walks in a group of people through the lobby right through where we are shooting. I couldn’t believe she did that. And the Bride was upset that it kept happening and that they kept letting people in the Lobby when they did not need to be. Like all brides she wanted to be a surprise to her guests. (her fiance had seen her at this point) I had to say  something, which i thought was common sense but apparently it wasn’t. So I said listen can you please guide the guests outside of the doors to the ceremony (which was right around the corner) instead of bringing them inside and then directing them.  Which they did finally do. And the bride thanked me. I just found that to be really rude of the head waitress to do this. & then I was moving a chair for a photo and was told I can’t move it the owner doesn’t want furniture to be moved around. Which I understand if i was moving tables and so forth. but a CHAIR?! We moved it anyway and took a great shot with it.  Sometimes I have to sacrifice the venue liking me for great photos. The photos will always win.

Abel and Ebony: Wedding At the Crystal Plaza

The Crystal Plaza in Livingston is quite a nice place. Their cocktail hour is impressive. The venue is beautiful.  Their website is comepletely cheesey and the music will drive you insane. So don't judge them on their site. It's pretty bad.

Lindsay and Michael's Wedding at Skyland Manor

I don't even have to say how great this day was. The photos show. The Castle at Skyland Manor's grounds are beautiful.

Christine & Jeremy's Clarks Landing Wedding

I loved everything about this day. Great People. Great Photo Locations and Great Venue. Christine and Jeremy got married in Belmar. Then we headed to Asbury Park Boardwalk for amazing photos. Finishing the night at Clarks Landing in Pt Pleasant. Let me tell you I love Clarks Landing. Yes the website may be a little cheesey, but the location is great and the staff is above and beyond.
