Stacy and Bowie | West Orange Manor

We photographed Stacy and Bowie for their engagment session not too long ago. Their wedding was last Saturday at The West Orange Manor. The place was decorated for Christmas with lights and trees, and made for some beautiful backgrounds.




Stacy's dress as well as the bridesmaid's dresses were fantastic looking!



Can you tell, we love to photograph the wedding cake? Each cake is so unique!

Stacey and Bowie Engagement Session

Stacey and Bowie's wedding is coming up very soon in December. The winds were unbelievable earlier in the day that we took these, so much to the point that we didn't think this session would happen. We were hoping it would die down for the shoot, and fortunately it did. They kept telling us how comfortable and really relaxed they felt all during the shoot. Their fun personalities really came through in these pictures.

Michele and Gary Engagement Session

Michele and Gary are having a summer wedding next year, so this was an oppertiunity for them to take advantage of fall folliage. As a couple they were easy to work with, and we're looking foward to photographing them again.

Martianne and Bobby | The Palace

Sunday turned out to be a another perfect fall day. Just a few drops for luck on our drive to the church! Martianne looked absolutely radiant.







The reception was held at the Palace in Somerset. We had been really looking forward to working here, as it was a first for us. The place is beautiful, and the staff is really friendly and attentive.



Martianne and her father, serenading each other during their special dance together...


The highlight of the party happened toward the end of the evening. Bobby got on stage with the band to play the drums, while some of his friends helped by singing along.


Not to be upstaged, Martianne followed with a beautiful rendition of an Italian ballad. We were floored by her voice. They are both extremely talented!


Here are just a few of the special details of the day that caught our eye...
