Vicki and I got up early in the morning for our drive down to New Jersey for Kelly and Rich’s wedding. We had seen pictures of The Pleasantdale Chateau, and were so excited. It is an incredible venue, filled to the brim with amazing spots, both inside and out. Vicki and I arrived to take pictures of the bride and groom knowing it was going to be a great day. Kelly and Rich are really cool people and photograph incredibly well. So here’s the checklist from the day: Beautiful bride and handsome groom utterly in love with one another? Check. Stunning wedding gown, and 2 pairs of shoes that Vicki wouldn’t stop talking about? Check. Sweet light and tons of things to shoot at the ceremony and reception, with some off the most elaborate floral arrangements we have ever photographed, followed by overwhelmingly beautiful details? Check, check, check! All we know is that we get excited talking about Kelly and Rich’s wedding still, and can’t wait to show just some of the incredible moments we were a part of!

Ceremony: First Reformed Church, Pompton Plains, NJ

Kelly and Rich, thank you for inviting us into one of the most important days of your lives and trusting us to document it! We’re hoping you decide to renew your vows in 5 years (hint hint) and decide that you just might want us there to photograph it as well. We can dream can’t we?

xoxo,
Erik + Vicki

When Vicki and I had finally finished sorting out just some of the incredible moments from Stephanie and John’s wedding, we couldn’t help but smile (a lot in fact) and be really excited to share them with everyone else. It may have been a little long in the delivery (we are just now getting caught up from our busiest months of the year), but it was definitely worth the wait! Stephanie and John radiate so much infectious energy and happiness wherever they go, and when you add in all of the love and happiness of their family and friends, you have a truly electric affair. And by “affair” we mean super fabulous wedding day! From the eye catching hot pink details, to Stephanie’s beautiful dress and flowers, and one of the most adorable ring bearers ever, we couldn’t help but be wowed by everything going on at their wedding. Beautiful people and amazing details to photograph, what more could we have asked for? It was an incredible day

Stephanie and John, we love you guys, and had such a wonderful time with the two of you, your family and friends. You couldn’t have done anything to make your day more perfect, to the credit of all of you and your families hard work in planning your day, and it really shows in just how awesome everything looks. We are so happy you picked us to be the ones to photograph it all, and know that all of your time together yet to come will be filled with fun and joy

xoxo,
Vicki + Erik
