The Grandview Poughkeepsie, NY sits on forty feet above the water’s edge, on the Eastern bank of the Hudson River, in the shadow of the Mid-Hudson Bridge. It truly has spectacular view during the night. Kristen and Anthony's wedding probably was one of the last wedding allowed before state rules start to get strict due to spread of COVID-19 winter of 2020. Kristen and Anthony tied at St. Columbanus Church in Cortlandt Manor NY near her parents' house then were allowed to have their wedding reception at outdoor ballroom which is basically a giant tent set up at The Grandview. Kristen and Anthony had an intimate after party at the groom's sister's farm in Rhinebeck NY. The setup and decor inside the barn for the after party was rustic with candle lights, bonfire, wood and the newly wed danced wildly into the night. Kristen and Anthony's The Grandview and Intimate Barn wedding captured by MJ and Jeanie from Pearl Paper Studio.

Tibi and Jessie’s The Seasons & Catering NJ outdoor wedding reception had some hiccups along the way but these two awesome Christian couple did not cancel love but found a way to celebrate. Tibi and Jessie had their wedding ceremony at Hawthorne Gospel Church then outdoor tent wedding ceremony at The Seasons Catering in Washington NJ instead of their original wedding venue Venetian because they did not have an outdoor space to accommodate their wedding.

Chic Connecticut wedding at The Belle Haven Club a private club in Greenwich CT located on the shore of Long Island Sound surrounded by private neighborhood. Caroline and Eric’s parents are members of the club and were able to get married at this beautiful property along the water. Their wedding ceremony and reception was both fully outdoors on a beautiful September afternoon. Since Caroline and Eric couldn’t invite everyone from their original guest list due to COVID regulation their friends and family did a fabulous drive by in their convertibles with balloons and signs. This wedding day was filled with style and at the end of the night Caroline and Eric took off on a boat waving their goodbyes.

First Covid-19 Monday wedding happening at Park Savoy in Florham Park celebrating Tara and Brent’s wedding during the pandemic. Of course this Monday date was not Tara and Brent’s first choice but they managed to make their dream wedding happen and it was a great day at The Park Savoy in Florham Park NJ. The Park Savoy scanned all the guests temperature at the door, hand sanitizing stations though out the area and entire wedding reception was outdoors under their new tent. Tara and Brent did get married inside the Park Savoy’s brand new chapel and of course Tara and Brent handed out masks so that all their guests were masked up. Tara and Brent’s first dance outdoor under the sunsetting sky was breathtaking. Tara and Brent’s COVID wedding at The Park Savoy was just magical and beautiful in it’s now unique way.

Princeton University campus is full of history, architecture and garden. It is one of the most picturesque campus in NJ.

Tibi and Jessie were looking for all the elements Princeton University Campus had, so we wandered around the very empty Princeton campus exploring every corner all to ourselves during Tibi and Jessie’s summer engagement session during COVID19.

Like most couple’s planning their wedding during this pandemic called COVID-19, Ashley and Jimmy also had to postpone their wedding date to later date wishing/hoping to have their dream wedding. But unfortunately CORONA VIRUS had other agenda. Ashley and Jimmy instead of having their wedding at Westmount Country Club as planned they switched to small backyard tent wedding at Jimmy’s house. Ashley and Jimmy had a small church ceremony, followed by backyard tent wedding with their closest friends and family which ended up being about 100 people. As a wedding photographer that’s been in the wedding industry for over 10yrs, I have a feeling this cover-19 pandemic is going to change the entire wedding industry hopefully for better. But I see more small weddings, elopements in the future! Ashley and Jimmy’s backyard tent small wedding captured by MJ from Pearl Paper Studio.
