Lindsay + Jess // Island Heights Yacht Club

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I just want you to see these pictures.

Lindsay and Jess are both artists, one of these two is even a photographer! It always feels good when another photographer wants you to be the one to photograph their wedding.

These two worked so hard to reach the level of perfection they desired so when the big day finally came, they wanted it to be relaxed as possible. This allowed for some awesome photography ;-)

I was so impressed by Jess's painting of the map that would take us all over the entire town of Island Heights, New Jersey. These two also chose this map as their save the dates. Lindsay designed her own gorgeous bouquet as well as all of the flowers. This is when I realized what a unique experience I was in for.  The handmade and handpicked details were only the tip of the iceberg!

Lindsay and Jess chose the place they had their first kiss for their first look, which is incredibly romantic. I also stepped in dog dookie, but I wasn't mad. I cleaned my boots and the three of us wandered the town and hit up some secret spots for portraits.

The Ceremony took place on the dock of the Island Heights Yacht Club where Jess spent a lot of time growing up.  The rings made it safely onto their fingers instead of through the cracks of the dock. ( This was the running joke between Jess, Lindsay, and her uncle who was also the officiant) the laughs were complemented by some tears.  After the ceremony, the dock was cleared for a lax cocktail hour and some good times.

With this day being all about Jess and Lindsay,  Mikey Junior and his band where the stars of the reception. They killed it all night with blues rhythms and ridiculous harmonics. This along with some dancing and drinking went on for hours, which inevitably required everyone to refuel. Dinner was hosted by L Gourmet and after some good eats, Mikey Junior hit it even harder with some tunes that had everyone back at it with more hours dancing and drinking.

For you the story ends here, but for Jess and Lindsay it keeps on going forever. Congratulations to this perfect pair.

Stefany + Andrew // Aqua Blu

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't just a little nervous due to the fact that this was my first wedding in a few months. The schedule was a bit tighter than usual during a portion of the day, which kept me on my toes. I know it seems like I'm making excuses, but I'm trying to build up to something here. When you are around Stefany and Andrew, they make fun effortless.  They are also generous and always make sure that you have what you need. These two were a pleasure to work with and the day went on without a single hiccup.

Stefany and Andrew were very particular on who they chose to be around them for their wedding.  They had their friends Jan and Kenny play tunes for their epic party. Their favorite restaurant Aqua Blu was their wedding venue. ( I can personally tell you the food was ridiculously good!) My personal favorite donut joint is the world Uncle Dood's Donuts was there with some mind-blowing custom flavors, along with Khors ice cream, which goes way back to my childhood days on the boardwalk. Somehow with all of this, I got thrown into the mix. I can only think of one word to describe my sentiment for the day: LUCKY. Thank you Stefany and Andrew for letting me be part of your special day. You two are amazing humans.
