Julie & Matt | The Grounds for Sculpture

We've been looking forward to photographing Julie and Matt's wedding since their engagement session earlier this year - not only are they a wonderful spontaneous fun loving couple, but the venue they selected for their wedding, the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ is a fantastic location that provides incredible backdrops. We couldn't help photograph a few of the unique sculptures scattered among the grounds; everywhere we looked there was inspiration.

We had the opportunity get to know Julie and Matt on a personal level throughout the day, the stories that they shared with their friends and family were touching.

Everyone loved the story of Matt's marriage proposal to Julie, explained at the ceremony by the officiant Dorry Bless of Circle of Life ceremonies. Matt had cut out a "cave" in the vintage children's novel "The Diamond Cave Mystery" to place Julie's engagement ring into. He then installed a personalized page for Julie, and packed it up into an amazon box for Julie to later open. As you can see below, the book was incorporated into the marriage ceremony. 

The nine muses installment at the Grounds for Sculpture is a beautiful location and that is where the couple exchanged vows in front of their friends and family.

Peacocks roam the grounds of the Sculpture Garden; we found one strolling along the parking lot!

DJ Chris Atwood of Absolute Events rocked the party all night!

Lisa & John | Engagement session

It looked like rain about an hour before Lisa & John's engagement session was about to begin. As soon as we arrived at the park the sky had opened up and began pouring on us. Luckily the engaged couple had brought an umbrella and was prepared to get a little wet in the rain, which gave us a perfect opportunity to photograph something a little different! 
Both Lisa and John's bright vibrant personalities shined in these rainy day photos. We're looking forward to photographing their wedding later this year at the Wilshire Grand in West Orange, NJ.

Kim & Phil | Engagement Session

Kimberly and Phil's own words best sum up how last week's engagement session went:

     "Thank you so much! We loved working Figtree on Saturday and can't wait to see the pictures! Even though I was more nervous than I expected, you made us both feel very comfortable. Thanks for being so accomodating and easy to work with."

Thanks Kimbery and Phil, you guys were awesome! Your feelings for each other really showed through in the photographs.

Below are a few of our favorite pictures from the shoot.

 

 Kim & Phil's coordinating turquoise colors look great together!

Jennifer & David | Atrium Country Club

Jennifer & David's engagement session from last year was one of our favorites! The bold red color they both wore added a fun element to their photographs and they were great to work with. We recently photographed their wedding and we were thrilled to be able to work with them again! Below are a few of our favorite shots from their day. Their ceremony and reception was held at The Atrium Country Club.

The flower arrangements were created by Anthony Baradhi of The Flower Station.

David's friend and co-worker performed an original song inspired by, and for, the couple.
