[Wedding] Alexis & Christian – Rock Island Lake Club in Sparta, NJ

Alexis and Christian pose in the forest with fallen leaves around her dress.

One of the more ambitious things we’ve seen at a wedding reception was a 200-person trivia game about the couple. Not trivia in the rhetorical sense. Actual trivia. Questions. Answers. An entire room of people testing how well they knew Alexis and Christian. The funny thing is that nobody seemed confused by the idea. Usually,...

Cherylin and Nicholas walk hand in hand on the dock.

Every few minutes we’d spot it somewhere...

Ashley and Monte walk together in sunglasses while carrying champagne.

One of our favorite sequences from Ashley and Monte’s wedding happens immediately after their private vows. If you’ve photographed enough weddings, you start to recognize certain patterns. Couples exchange private vows by the water. There are tears, hugs, deep breaths, and a few quiet moments together before the day picks up speed again. Ashley and...
