A & L Wedding Day

I had another opportunity to second shoot for Cayla of Cnoelle Photography right before Christmas.  April and Lance had an absolutely breathtaking Christmas themed wedding.  From the lights to the candles, the girls' gorgeous red dresses, and the reception warmed by a gorgeous fireplace, it was an awesome and wonderful day.  The ceremony was beautiful and the bride stunning.  Just wanted to share a few of my favorites I took from the day.  Enjoy...

Pauline & Jesse: Engaged

This post is a very special one for a few reasons: Strings of white lights, a gorgeous barn, and a surprise proposal!  Not to mention that the man proposing was my little brother!

When my brother asked for my help coordinating his proposal to his long time love, Pauline, I couldn't have been more flattered or excited.  The plan: a romantic surprise proposal/photo shoot at the Glenburn Estate in Riverdale, NJ.  Disguised as my idea, Jesse requested that they would collect a memory chest of  special items and trinkets shared from their relationship together and he would ultimately present an engagement ring as his last addition to the box.  It was so special and sweet and I am so thrilled with the images that came as a result that they will have to cherish forever!

Stephanie & Kenneth: Engaged

Stephanie has been a good friend of mine for years and I was so excited to hear the news of her and Ken's engagement.  I am so looking forward to photographing their wedding day this coming June especially after working with them recently on their engagement shoot!  We met up at the Montville Public Library and spent some time inside before heading out into the cold for some shots.  We double checked to make sure their "love would keep them warm" and me warm and my brother warm (hanging with us for the shoot). :)

We were freezing but we really had a great time and I think the pictures show it!  Enjoy...
