If you have ever been involved in a wedding, you know that the mornings and getting ready moments can be pretty stressful for brides. There is a lot going on, a lot has to be remembered on this BIG day with all the people involved. PLUS, you want to be on time and make sure everything goes smoothly. Is that enough reasons to be nervous or should I add that IT’S ALSO YOUR WEDDING DAY haha! Well, what always surprises me is an excited and somewhat calm bride!!! And I am saying this in the most positive way possible! My brain can’t figure out how she can stay calm but I am also EXTREMELY thankful that she is because my job is now just a little easier. Well, Stephanie was that bride! She just enjoyed herself and herbeautiful company of girls all morning long. When it came time to getting into her dress she simply transformed from a cute girl into a real angel and here we were, ready to kick of this beautiful the Stone Terrace wedding day!
Their first look, bride and groom portraits and bridal party photos were majorly done at the hotel and WOW! Have you ever seen a more photogenic hotel? There was a pond, a few smaller fountains and most importantly some beautiful large trees that were creating that beautiful shade to keep us cool and give us that beautiful light! After you seen the photos, you let me know, what hotel in NJ is prettier than this!!!
My most favorite part of the day though was probably a tea ceremony. I can’t boast with the most beautiful photos from the technical perspective. On camera flash is a small bridal suit after the sunset can only do so much for my creative mind, but the most special moments that has happened there and just this beautiful part of the culture made me so thankful that I was there to witness and record this! There were so many amazing and touching moments throughout the whole day and I am confident that Stephanie and Chris will cherish this beautiful day forever. Check out just a few moments from their beautiful the Stone Terrace by John Henry’s and say your ‘congrats’ in the comments!
