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…

Jeri – beautiful pictures – can’t wait to see the rest!!
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…

ashlee got the beach ceremony at 7 presidents park in long branch she wanted although just as the rabbi said i do, the heavens opened up and let loose crazy rain that you could not even see past! thank you to the random car that pulled up and offered me temporary shelter after seeing me curled up in the sea dunes…and, even though i looked like i took three showers by the time we arrived at branches for their reception, the rain stopped and we were able to get a few more photographs outside before going in for their reception…thank you stasia for all of your assistantce that day and for the much needed hot coffee…narcissus did a beautiful job with flowers and i loved the handmade letterpress invitations that ashlee made herself…

Two words “asbsolutely stunning”. I pray that your life together turns out as beautiful as your wedding day
there were so many reasons to be happy spending the day with rebecca and michael…they were so nice as were their families and bridal party, all the wonderful details that rebecca incorporated into their day and jen from nauvoo grill who was fantastic to work with…i loved rebecca’s badgley mishka shoes, the amazing cake from pink cake box that incorporated rebecca and michael’s stationery design, the incredible and i am not kidding, candy/caramel apples from the rocky mountain chocolate company…literally heaven on a stick…the flower cart of old bridge did a lovely job with all of the colorful flowers and sound connection kept everything and everybody moving…thank you so much elliott negron for the second assist of the weekend…it was great working with you again!

after a date change for which i was already booked, allison & chris were lucky enough to have wonderful photographer jen rutherford photographer their wedding for me last weekend at the always wonderful branches…allison looked beautiful for her morning ceremony…denise vacchiano from salon L did her usual great job with hair and a shout out to dj nick cavaliere from imagine entertainment…

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…

even though the weather did not cooperate much for kara & michael their wedding couldn’t have been more perfect…the flowers provided by van brunt were beautiful and i loved kara’s badgley mishka shoes… despite the rain, we still decided to do some photos on the boardwalk in asbury…a big thank you to the owner of stella marina who graciously ran out in the rain and handed kara and mike two congratulatory glasses of champagne when he saw them braving the weather through his restaurant window…mike, an avid mets fan, was “kind of” a good sport when i pulled out my yankees umbrella although it made for some great ribbing at my expense and led to the umbrella going missing for awhile…we headed over to branches where dj jimmy mac kept the crowd on the floor till the end…

Hi! The pics are GREAT! I was a bridesmaid in this wedding! We had a blast!!! I just wanted to send you a PS. It was the owner of Stella Marina that came out to congratulate them, not the owner of watermark. Just wanted to give the credit to the right guy!

by wedding number three of an exceptionally busy weekend i would typically be fried to a crisp but between all the gorgeous details that erin had including the colorful florals by wallflowers, the light, airy atmosphere that makes photographing at matisse in belmar so wonderful, erin and mike and their beautiful boy, nicholas, not to mention the INCREDIBLE clouds in the sky for their oceanfront wedding, i was completely energized! and if that were not enough to keep the energy high, nick from imagine entertainment always does the trick…take a look…

it didn’t look like the weather was going to cooperate for heather and chris but it did not only giving them a great day but a beautiful sunset as well! i was especially honored to be photographing this wedding as heather is the niece of a colleague and friend, bonnie from petal beach and both of bonnie’s daughters were in the bridal party…the family made sara and i feel like family and we loved sharing in their joy and being able to document their special day for them…as usual the flowers provided of course by petal beach were gorgeous and nicole from anna soiree did a lovely job with the programs and table cards…after church in ocean grove we made a quick stop at the beach before heading off to eagle ridge country club where we were thoroughly entertained by kris abramson from elite entertainment…here’s a little preview!

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,

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

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

Wow! Congratulations Peg
I loved the pictures of the wedding.

Absolutely beautiful! Could she look any happier??

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! -
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!

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…

so much i loved about this couple and this wedding…the bungalow where katie got dressed is always a treat to photograph, avenue where their rooftop ceremony and reception were held, the maid of honor jenna and her husband antonio whose wedding i photographed several years back and jenna’s family who attended this wedding along with the langley’s (who i have the treat of seeing again this year when i photograph their second daughter carol’s wedding next week), peter james floral designer who i finally got to meet and work with…even though we had just about five minutes to do some pictures with these two before the sky opened up and offered torrential downpour it didn’t matter because five minutes was all we needed with them as it took no time at all to capture the way they feel about each other…they both have wonderful families and we so enjoyed spending time with all of them…

it was old home week saturday for the wedding of allison & patrick…not only did i get to work with some of my favorite vendors, jennifer anderson on video, nick cavaliere, entertainer extraordinare and fred at the channel club but i also got to see some of my favorite clients of long ago (way long ago!) ali, michealin & kristen who look as beautiful as the day i photographed their special days…allison and patrick are so easy going and natural in front of the camera, it was effortless to photograph them…after their ceremony at st. james church in red bank, we stopped by the downtown cafe where they had their first date as well as lavish kids where patrick’s apartment was located and then to red for a quick drink to cool off…saturday was a hot one!…no channel club wedding would be complete without an amazing sunset and it was delivered!

Jeri,
Thank you so much for the great pictures! You and Sara were so much fun to work with- talented, professional, etc. I could not be happier with all of the pictures! Once I saw your pictures from ali’s wedding, I knew you were an amazing photographer. You were able to capture our special day so well, and most of the time we barely even knew you were there. You have a very subtle style, and your work is amazing. I will most certainly be recommending you to others! We can’t wait to see the rest!
Thanks again,
Allison and Patrick -
You are both so beautiful! May you be blessed with years of health, happiness and lots of babies!

…the sun was shining fourth of july weekend for jen & eric greener who were married at the mill in spring lake heights…they saw each other before the ceremony at spring lake park with a quick stop at the beach before heading off to the mill…i loved, loved the ann klein shoes the bridesmaids wore…i was so lucky to have the fantastic jen rutherford alongside me and maryland photographer, trang dam as well..soo much fun working with you girls!…nick & russ from imagine entertainment kept the dance floor full until the very end and a special note to the father of the bride who wrote and recorded a song when his daughter was born and danced to the same on her wedding day…there is not much i haven’t seen in 16 years but that was a first…she is a lucky girl…

there was nothing i did not like about this couple and their day…they had the luck of the irish on their side as we managed everytime to get our photos finished just as the sky opened up and poured! they exchanged their vows in the amazingly beautiful st. catherines church in spring lake which is right across the street from the bridge in spring lake park where joe had proposed to kerry…i rode with them in the trolley to spring lake bath and tennis where their reception was being held and they literally did not take their eyes off one another for one second…you really could feel the love! i loved working with jennifer anderson again on video and jason jani emceed…kerry and joe had taken dance lessons and they were flawless from start to finish for their first dance…xxoo

Jeri and Sara,
Talk about luck of the Irish, we were so fortunate to have you with us on our wedding day! In these photos, you’ve told our story in a way no poet every could. We are speechless (which is rare for us)! Thank you for sharing the gift of your time and talent. You are, hands down, the best!
Love and gratitude, Kerry and Joe -
The pictures are awesome…Their wedding was just beautiful and oh so elegant. My friendship with these two wonderful kids began at the Ballroom Etc. Yes, I do have Cherished Memories of my meeting with them. They became engaged on Christmas Eve.. I also became engaged on that wonderful evening many years ago..They had lots of rain showers on their wedding day in June…I also shared the same wonderful happening…And yes two beautiful people so full of love..I know they will also have many years of Happiness just like I did…I hope they make more than my 53 years..
What a pleasure to know this beautiful couple…and to have met so many beautiful people in there family.
Love to you Kerry & Joe…Make many years of Cherished Memories… Elsie
