to say that there is no other group of people i would rather spend my last wedding of the season with is an understatement…having photographed the bride’s sister, tara, three years ago for her wedding as well as bridesmaid, michelle’s wedding this past may, it is like spending the day with your family…and, seeing these couples and their families is always such a treat for us…meghan looked amazing in her christos gown and boxwood gardens did a lovely job with the holiday themed florals…after their ceremony at church of the nativity in fair haven, we quickly headed over to riverside gardens in red bank and braved the cold and beat the sinking light to get some great photos of this couple before heading over to eagle oaks country club in farmingdale…it was great working with jen anderson on video and meghan’s band, the dream team out of new york, were incredible! thank you so much to the ullmans, cusicks, langleys, takacs, zusacks and now the kopps for reminding us why we do what we do and how lucky we are to be doing this…

there were many happy tears shed first by amie’s dad when he saw his daughter for the first time dressed in her gorgeous gown and then by her groom as he saw her for the first time going down the aisle towards him at their lovely ceremony at trinity church in east brunswick…amie reminded me of a young carol alt and this couple was so much in love with each other… it was so evident in the way they looked at each other and in every touch and laugh…we had so much fun with them on their cold but beautiful wedding day celebration at riverside gardens in red bank and the oyster point hotel…so great seeing christian again!…their band, time machine, tore the place up and their guests took full advantage of this fantastic band…such a great day…take a look…

bob and i had a great day with maureen and marc first at the sheraton hotel in eatontown followed by their ceremony at st. rose in belmar…on the way to the channel club, mark wanted to stop in asbury park for some photos unaware as we all were that the annual zombie fest was under way…i’m still not sure why zombie fest wasn’t halloween weekend but in case, my couple were drawing more attention than any of the zombies there and it seemed like there were thousands this year! in any case, we did manage to find some quiet spots on the beach, then off to the channel club where daddy pop entertained everyone…it was great working with emil from mike simons video and seeing andrea and chris decker, whose wedding i photographed several years back…flowerful events provided the florals and even though there was mostly cloud coverage instead of the usual phenomenal sunsets that channel club the night could not have been more perfect…thank you fred for everything as usual…

after the rain ashlee and mike had on their day i was thrilled that sun was shining in full force the next day for kristen and andrew…kristen’s YSA Makino dress was GORGEOUS and i could have photographed it for days…The flowers provided by the always wonderful petal beach were the perfect compliment to kristen’s dress and the bridesmaids eggplant colored dresses…after a lovely ceremony at united methodist church in red bank, we headed down to riverside gardens in red bank for some pictures before the reception at eagle oaks country club in farmingdale…it was so great to see ed back and in form…we missed you ed…and the FRESH band were incredible and always such a treat when i have weddings with them…

love this xxoo

rebecca & anthony

October 9, 2011 in bands, banquet facilities, dress designers, florists, hair and makeup, shoe designers, weddings | 7 comments

there are not enough words to describe how great these two people are and how much fun we had with them…they were so relaxed behind and in front of the camera even though anthony had expressed his discomfort to his bride about being photographed beforehand and especially since asbury park was jumping because of the music festival that was happening that day! the weather was misty but we were able to get out on the boards and grab some great shots before their ceremony at the berkeley oceanfront hotel…petal beach did their usual amazing job with the florals and i absolutely loved the skeleton leaves that bonnie put in the bride’s bouquet…i had never seen them before…rebecca’s jimmy choo shoes added just the right amount of bling to her sophisticated and elegant gown by lazaro…rebecca’s hair was done beautifully by kelly marchetti of thompson’s salon in shrewsbury and a special thank you to mary koury for all of her assistance as the day of coordinator…cravings of allenhurst provided the simple but pretty cake and the A band kept everyone on the floor until the end…a very special thank you to my friend and colleague, elliott negron, who came in from the city to assist me on my weddings this weekend…

this was a second wedding for this family and me as i photographed the groom’s sister, bethany’s wedding several years ago, so it was great to see everyone again…we had an early start to our day as they decided to see one another prior to their church ceremony at st. james in red bank…melissa had the AMAZING hair & makeup wizards, denise vacchiano and jeanine mangan, and it is always fantasic starting our day seeing their faces…the flowers from petal beach were sooo pretty…it was great being back at the mill in spring lake with the fantastic mission dance…special mention to best man, ryan from thomas ryan ward designs, who designed all the invitations, programs and paper details…well done!

One of the biggest moments in my lifefime Is to live long enough to witness the marriage of some of my
grandchildren. Zach is the third grandchild to be married,, and I am very fortunate to have attended this
beautifull affair. My other desire would have been for my loving and beautifull wife Norma to havelived
to bea part of this event. There are still a number of other grandchildren to go down this path, and maybe
God will give me another few years to see them take this step. As Zack and my other family members
know, family to me is the most importat jpart of a wonderfull andloving life. Meg, and Zack, I wish you
Love, Happiness, and Lots of Good Health in the coming years. I am looking forward to Warching you raise
You family. God Bless You All.
All my Love,
“Poppy”
Peg Bartlett on September 8, 2011 at 8:12 pm

Jeri and Sara,

Your pictures are breathtaking. Everyone of my friends who has viewed your blog had the same response – “Amazing!!!” One of my friends even said that there are some of the images that she would like to buy even if she didn’t know the people because they are so spectacular that they take your breath away. Your pictures have absolutely captured the day, the spirit, and the love and happiness which permeated the whole affair. These are more than pictures—they are works of art and I cannot thank you enough for your efforts. Obviously, the best wedding decision Meg and Zach made was to hire you to chronicle this event. We cannot thank you enough and we can’t wait to see the rest of your masterpieces! Thank you again. Peggy Bartlett
Jody Robinson on September 8, 2011 at 11:10 pm

There are an infinite number of adjectives to describe how magnificent these pictures are. Thank you so very much for exceeding any expectations one could have. Much of what I would say, Peggy has said above. I knew my son had an eye for beauty and the insight to choose only the best. Your work encompasses all–the bride and the art of your photography. My friend just saw the pictures and her email to me said quite simply and oh so true; “OMG, this photographer is fabulous. I feel like I attended a celebrity wedding!” By the way, Zach was number one of four–3 more to go—hopefully you travel to RI, or it seems we may have to bring the next wedding to NJ!! Jeri and Sara, thank you again for creating such magical memories we will all treasure forever. Jody Robinson

Love love love the pictures! Meg and Zach look so happy and the photographer really captured their happiness. They put my pictures to shame…lol.

Ceil Frank on September 12, 2011 at 12:48 pm

Spectacular pictures of a charming couple. All the hard work really produced a beautiful result. It is great to see such love beaming throughout the photos. May this intense love sustain you as you walk the path of life together.
Cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Meg on September 16, 2011 at 7:06 am

Jeri & Sara,

Zach and I just love the pictures. You and Sara were such pleasure to work with, and you both really went above and beyond to capture the wedding. We are dying to see the rest of the pictures. Thank you so much!

August 16, 2011 in bands, banquet facilities, florists, videographers, weddings | No comments

there has been occasion over the years where i work with a group of families and when i see them it feels more like spending the day with family rather than work…this has been my experience with the langley family since i photographed their daughter michele’s wedding in may…michele and carol’s parents, marybeth and greg, are very special people and it has been a joy and honor getting to know their wonderful family and spending time with their friends many of whom we have been privileged to work with as well for their happy occasions–michele & jeremy takacs, maria & mark brewer whose wedding i photographed in december and maria’s parents, the ronans, the kingsberys, whose daughter katie was just married a couple of weeks ago–i loved working with and seeing each and every one of you! carol and sam had an absolutely perfect day for their wedding ceremony at st. james church in red bank and their poolside reception at the rumson country club…it was great getting to work with emil from mike simons video again, brian kirk and the jirks always keeps everyone on the floor, nicole from mustillos who helped carol get dressed and the beautiful flowers from boxwood gardens…they had a gorgeous night complete with a full moon! here’s a peak…

the weather didn’t cooperate enough for sydney and james planned beachfront ceremony at ocean place resort and spa but that didn’t stop us from grabbing a few photographs outside beforehand…i loved all of sydney’s details, from her bagdley mishka shoes, the adorable peach and white searsucker bridesmaids dresses from lulakate, sydney’s stunning gown by vineyard, the pretty florals by rose petals and lace and my favorite cake of the season so far…loved this daisy cake…as always, the incredibly talented jeanine mangan from jmmakeup designs and mandy liento of la sorella bridal had sydney looking flawless…this couple rolled with the punches when the ceremony had to restart and sydney got to walk down the aisle twice, the second time to thunderous applause and laughter…pat roddy band kept everyone on the dance floor until the very end…have a great honeymoon in tahiti sydney and james…it was so much fun spending the day with you!

i have been looking forward to working with this family since they gave me the honor of choosing me to capture their day…they are so incredibly gracious and warm and familiar as there were many families there who i have worked with in the past and will be working with again soon! i also cannot believe that i get to work with them again in august when i get to photograph michele’s sister, carol, on her wedding day! i can’t wait! the luck of the irish was with them and the rain held out so we were able to get plenty of outside pictures on the grounds of the brides home, st. james church and riverside gardens in red bank and a fantastic reception at the rumson country club…thank you michele & jeremy and i know you are having an amazing time in hawaii!

i have had a soft spot for the astrella family ever since photographing daughter danielle’s wedding in spring lake five years ago…they are just so warm and welcoming and kind and just the kind of people that you would want to be with on september 11th so when karen & dan’s second daughter, nicole, got engaged, it meant the world to me that they came back to me…nicole and jeff were two of the most easy going people ever and when you feel close to a family the way i do to this one, it never feels like work…so thank you so much astrella’s for choosing me again and letting us spend the day with you! thank you to the olde mill inn in basking ridge and to the incredible groove shop which let me tell you was UNBELIEVABLE! if you are looking for a band…

saturday was the most GORGEOUS day we’ve had in quite some time and i enjoyed every moment of being outside and spending the day with kristen, rob and their fantastic family and friends…the flowers designed by nancy from in the garden were lovely and the seaside details at the reception were just perfect for a beach wedding at waters edge in sea bright…as always, sara and i had a ball with jennifer anderson on video and band of gold rocked the house till the end…it was great to see lindsey and her husband rob, whose wedding i photographed two years ago (i can’t believe it’s been that long already!) …such a great day!

i adored kristen's shoes

i love the feel of these...

: that amazing light!

i just love the look on her face...xxoo

December 16, 2009 in Uncategorized, bands | No comments

i have had a special feeling for laura mok and chris yoon since i photographed them for their engagement pictures in asbury park a few months ago…they are such warm, lovely, happy people individually and together they spread those feelings to their family and friends…sara and i completely loved sharing their special day with them…it was great working with jennifer from sands of time video and the westmount country club in paterson looked so great decked out for the holidays and the sound choice band rocked!
