[Wedding] Cherylin & Nick – Rock Island Lake Club in Sparta, NJ

Cherylin and Nicholas walk hand in hand on the dock.

There was a display at Cherylin and Nicholas’s wedding that marked three dates: The First Day. The Yes Day. The Best Day. What made it interesting wasn’t the display itself. Every couple has milestones. What stood out was how many people in the room seemed to have lived through those milestones with them. At some...

[Wedding] Samantha & Vincent – Rock Island Lake Club in Sparta, NJ

Elyse and Lucas pose beside the illuminated marquee letters spelling The Biels.

The thing we couldn’t stop thinking about while editing Samantha and Vincent’s wedding was how many completely unnecessary things made it into the day. We mean that as a compliment.

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

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...

[Wedding] Gabriella & Joseph – Rock Island Lake Club in Sparta, NJ

Wide view of Gabriella and Joseph at their lakeside ceremony.

One of the details we kept coming back to while editing Gabriella and Joseph’s wedding wasn’t the lake, the flowers, or even the dance floor. It was the table numbers. Each one featured childhood photos of the two of them. At first glance, it seemed like a fun reception detail. But throughout the evening, we...
