Jill and Vander were married at the beautiful Hyatt Jersey City. The view of NYC is amazing from the Hyatt and it served as the backdrop for both the outdoor ceremony on the Hudson and the reception which took place in the ballroom, surrounded with windows facing the New York City skyline.
Vander's family traveled all the way from Brazil to witness their wedding day and it was certainly a celebration filled with emotion, love and a LOT of dancing. It was an honor to be a part of such a beautifully designed wedding. It was a wonderfully orchestrated event from start to finish thanks to Adrienne from Bespoke Affairs. It is always great to collaborate with excellent vendors. Their beautiful cake was by Carlo's Bakery and the lanterns by Bona Angela Design.
Thanks to Georgi for second shooting for me!
Here are my (several) favorites!

We spent the fourth of July in Panama for Jeff's sister's wedding. Janice and Josh are a perfect match from their kind and gentle spirits to their philosophies about life in general, they just seem to go together and see things from the same perspective. It was beautiful watching them get married to each other. The ceremony was lovely with American and Panamanian customs, complete with the signing of several documents and fingerprinting following the vows. It was an honor to be a part of the wedding party and fun to walk down the aisle with Jeff again!
We'd been anticipating this trip for awhile and were so excited when it was finally time to go. Not only was it a beautiful destination but it was also a family vacation for us which meant ten days of adventure, beach time, relaxation and preparing for the wedding with Jeff's parents, siblings and Janice and Josh's friends. It was a wonderful group to spend time with and we enjoyed getting to know more about their friends and life in Richmond. It was a great experience and I'll post separately about our adventures outside the wedding resort.
Josh spent a few years in Panama working for the Peace Corps and Janice made several trips to visit him while he was there. They had even been to the resort where we stayed twice already. It really was a beautiful location and the meaning and history that Panama has for their relationship really confirmed their reason to get married there.
Janice and Josh hired a wonderful photographer to document their day so I got to enjoy myself for a change! These are just a few of the off-duty shots I grabbed because I can't help myself at a wedding:)

I shot Katie and Michael's engagement session on Friday night in Hoboken. Katie was a really great example of the perfect subject. She was energetic and funny and she wasn't afraid to move and dance and just be silly. I love the way the photos turned out. Michael is a little more reserved and I can see the different sides they bring out in one another. They really just had fun with it and I think it shows in the photos. I also always love an opportunity to go back to Hoboken, where my husband spent his bachelor days (and his dating-me days.)
