Sometimes you get a chance to meet those couples.. you know, the ones who are great people individually, but even better when they are together because its just right. Well, Jen and Rich are one of those couples. We met these two a while back at Joanna and Rich’s wedding. I actually met Jen at the rehearsal dinner for that wedding, and we hit it off right away. We knew that these two were genuine people, and we are so happy that we got to be part of our day. The ceremony and reception were held at one of my favorite venues, Running Deer Golf club in Pittsgrove, NJ. What makes this venue so great on top of the beautiful location and reception room is the great people that work there. The ceremony was incredibly personal which is my favorite kind of ceremony to watch and photograph. I love that they were able to write their own vows to each other, and while they said them they held onto a stone. I learned that day, that holding a stone during marriage vows was where the term “set in stone” was from. When it was time to party.. our bride was leader of the pack. Jen can get down on the dancefloor, and her excitement radiated through the whole place. This was such a perfect fall wedding day, and I hope you two are enjoying yourselves on the other side of the world in Australia. Please pet a koala for me!
I can’t even tell you how much I had been looking forward to this wedding. I met Chrissy and AJ when they were recommended through some friends, Nicole and Harry, that I have known since I was a kid spending my summers at the Jersey shore. We have had the fortunate chance to get to know Chrissy and AJ pretty well before this wedding, so I was looking forward to all the details, not to mention this was my first beach ceremony. We have shot engagement sessions and portraits on the beach, but I have always wanted to shoot a beach ceremony. They had perfect weather, bright blue skies, and friends and family spilling out tears of joy. Speaking of tears, these two were so proud of themselves for not crying at the ceremony. Well, all that changed about 5 minutes into the reception. AJ started singing the words to their first dance song “Just the way you are” by Jason Mraz, and it was over. It was an emotional occasion between them, and while the rest of the room may have disappeared to them in that moment, we were all feeling it. I had to wipe the tears away from my eyes, so that I could see through the camera lens. It was the best first dance I have ever witnessed… true, raw, emotion. AJ had given us the heads up that he could, and would be performing the entire dance from Michael Jackson’s Billy Jean. As great as it was to photograph, I am kind of jealous that I didn’t just get to sit back and watch. DJ Anthony Passante of Dinardo Brothers kept the dance floor packed all night. I love photographing a reception with great dancing, laughter, and people having an amazing time. I look back on this wedding and think about the awesome venue, perfect beach ceremony, crazy dancing, details, and photos captured, but most of all, I am grateful for the people I meet along the way. Chrissy and AJ, thank you for choosing us to be part of your day! We are so glad to call you our friends.
Ceremony- Brigantine Beach, NJ
Reception- Seaview hotel and Golf club -Galloway, NJ
They wanted to make sure we got a shot of the 4 of us together…
Words cannot express the profound gratitude I feel about the sincere emotion that radiated from you as documented this wonderful celebration through photos. Thank you for being such an important part of Chrissy and AJ’s day!
Warmest regards.
Suzanne (AKA Chrissy’s Mom). 
Atlantic City is such an interesting place that this photoshoot has so many different types of images. Kristen and Bryan were such good sports as Austin and I had them on the beach, under the pier, on the boarwalk, on staircases, and sneaking into a bar for an awesome color changing backdrop. We had so much fun shooting these two, and capturing the laughing shots in between may have been my favorite part of the day. I really can’t wait until their wedding next spring!
Beautiful honey!
Girl, I love these all!!!!! You are amazing!!!!!! I do not know how I am going to decide!!!!!!!!!
When we asked Melissa and Rich where they wanted to do their engagement session, they knew right away that they wanted to shoot in Rittenhouse near the tree where Rich proposed. I had no idea that there were going to be so many great spots to shoot within this one block of Philadelphia. The tree where Rich proposed was one of those perfect trees with winding branches that you just want to climb into…. so we did exactly that. We got some great sunflare shots during this shoot. Melissa and Rich were so much fun to shoot with that I cant wait until their wedding day next spring. At the end of our shoot, Melissa and Rich were standing by (probably wondering what in the world we were doing) as we did a quick setup to get a night shot of their special tree…. and it was worth it….
