Tara and Tom | The Knoll Country Club - East

Tara and Tom had a beautiful day for their wedding celebration at the Knoll Country Club East.

We couldn't resist taking quite a few pictures of Tara's dog Baxter....all dressed up for the occasion.

also quite irresistible, the absolutely adorable flower girl, Tara's niece!

One of the main advantages of the way Figtree Productions works (the team approach) is that we are in several places at the same time. Here, we were situated in such a way that we were able to capture the anticipation on Tom's face along with the thoughtful expressions on the faces of Tara and her father as they were about to walk down the aisle; along with the sweeping view from the front and behind as they approached the alter.  All this, accomplished quite unobtrusively!

Their first dance had a unique touch...sung and played on acoustic guitar by their friend and groomsman (and enjoyed by all!)

Seton & James | Park Savoy

Congratulations to Seton and James!  We had such a good time photographing the happy couple on their special day!

Here is Seton moments after she put her wedding gown on. She had told us that she was preparing for 90 degrees and 100% humidity on her wedding day, but what she ended up with was quite the opposite. The day was absolutely gorgeous!

Prior to the ceremony, we photographed Jim and his groomsmen outside of The Church of the Immaculate Conception in Montclair NJ .

After the ceremony, Jim cracked everyone up by producing a vuvuzela!

We arrived at the Park Savoy in Florham Park, New Jersey (for the third time this year) for some romantic photos of the newly married couple.

Karolina & Michael | Engagement Session

Karolina and Michael are such a cute and playful couple! We're really looking forward to photographing their wedding next month at Doolan's in Spring Lake. Karolina said she wants us to take photographs of her running through the surf in her wedding gown... Karolina, we are holding you to it!

You can truly see the love that they have for each other.

You can see their Spring Lake wedding on our blog this September!

Seton and James | Signature Book

We wanted to share a few pages from one of our recent signature books featuring Seton and James (who's wedding we are photographing next week!)

During the photo session an airplane carrying a banner just happen to be passing overhead. We thought, wouldn't it be great if we could put Seton and James' names up there for the signature book? I was able to composite that airplane with the banner that I drew by hand. Because we custom design each album, adding personal touches like this is possible.

I was able to blend together two images to turn this vertical image into a horizontal - perfect for writing across!

Seton and James added in a favorite quote to make the book more personal: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to just love and be loved in return."

Mara & Joe | Engagement Session

You couldn't ask for a nicer couple to photograph than Maria & Joe. We had some fun photographing (and shooting some video!) with them at our local park and can't wait to photograph their wedding as well.
