Liz and Bryan | Villa at Mountain Lakes

We've been looking forward to photographing Liz and Bryan for a while now. Can you believe it's been a year already since we photographed their engagement session?

As Liz's mother and her maid of honor helped her into her gown, we grabbed these shots.

 Bryan's best man gave him a little pep talk before the ceremony.

Bryan and Liz made a church exit so exuberant that their guests demanded they do it twice!

Liz and Bryan posed for a few romantic portraits in front of the waterfall at Villa at Mountain Lakes, where the celebration continued. The cathedral length veil really created the perfect mood for these images.

 These images from the reception speak for themselves...

Jennie and Peter | Venetian

Remember that one day in June it didn't rain? Jennie and Peter will. It was their wedding day, and it rounded out our triple weekend. We started the day at Jennie's home to capture some of the preparations before heading out to the church.

The ceremony took place at St. John the Theologian in Tenafly.

On the way to the Venetian, we stopped off at Davis Johnson Park for some portraits.

The reception took place in the newly completed ballroom at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ . It is quite large!  When you see the room for the first time, your jaw will hit the floor.  The party was non-stop filled with lots of good food and Greek dancing. One of the guests was thoughtful enough to gift Jennie and Peter with two bottles of  Windex, the Greek cure-all.

Kim and Paul | Bridgewater Manor

You may remember Kim and Paul from their recent engagement session a few post's back. Their wedding (the second of our triple weekend) took us to Pennsylvania, where we photographed Kim getting ready at her childhood home.

Here, Kim poses with her (very excited) special bridesmaids, looking pretty in pink.

Kim's flowers were by Cindy of the Floral Gallery.

Kelly and Chuck | Maplewood Country Club

This past weekend was a really busy one for Figtree! We had the pleasure of working with three wonderful couples at three unique weddings. First up, we have Kelly and Chuck who we met up with at the Maplewood Country Club. Below are a few of the images we took that day.

We noticed the wedding had somewhat of a tropical theme; details were accented with bamboo centerpeices and vibrant pink colors.

 We loved Kelly's hair style, it looked so simple yet elegant.

We first met Kelly when she was in the bridal party of Jasmin and Michael who's wedding took place last year, (click here to see Jasmin and Michael's wedding on our blog... see if you can spot Kelly in the bridal party! ) Returning the honor, Kelly also had Jasmin as one of her bridesmaids.

The intimate ceremony also took place at the Maplewood Country Club.

Marisa and Victor | Valley Regency

Here are a few of the images we photographed while Marisa was getting ready, simply stunning!

After the ceremony, we headed over to the Kean University campus in Union, NJ for some bridal portraits.

Then a few more in the gardens of the Valley Regency before the reception...

Brendan and Katherine Engagement Session

We had a great engagement session with Brendan and Katherine. They're a fun couple and so easy to work with, which made the session a breeze! Initially they were a bit shy, but by the end of the shoot the affection they have  for one another was really apparent! We're looking forward to photographing their wedding in August.
