wedding date: June 24, 2016
Carla and Michael are a wonderfully sweet couple I had the honor of being part of their special day. I finally had the chance to meet them in a coffee shop on a rainy day after months of communication, and it was so nice to speak with such a cool, calm couple about their story, their plans... They met through work, and have been dating for nearly 4 years. Michael popped the question last October, and they got right to wedding plans! Though Carla described her vision in great detail, it's still never the same when you see things in person! Everything was way more beautiful than I could have imagined. The detailing on Carla's dress was breathtaking! And it paired beautifully with the modern yet romantic setting of the venue - Maritime Parc in New Jersey, right by the water with a full view of the NYC skyline. The reception hall was decorated with candlelight and flora, encompassed by a 360 view of the Hudson River and the glittering city. The weather was perfect, the sky was clear, the guests were gorgeous - what more could you ask for? Carla and Michael were such good troopers when doing their portraits. We ran all around the surrounding park and pier snapping photos, and definitely took advantage of beautiful spots within the venue itself. They were such a joy to work with, warm and kind, and I'm thrilled to be sharing some highlights from their splendid wedding!
