As I sit down to write this blog post, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity to photograph not just one, but two beautiful weddings in the same family. Happy Wedding Anniversary to Carmela and Nick!
A few years ago, I had the privilege of capturing the wedding of Carmela’s brother. So when Carmela got engaged, it was truly touching to hear that I was one of the first ones she reached out to. Being entrusted with documenting such a special day for a family once again was an honor beyond words.
The day began at St. Philomena Catholic Church, where Carmela made her grand entrance down the aisle with her father, in her stunning “Eve of Milady” wedding dress. The ceremony was solemn and filled with love, as they exchanged vows infant of the altar. And after the ceremony when the newlyweds emerged from the church, they were greeted by a shower of bubbles from their loved ones. That was one of my favorite part of the wedding ceremony to photograph!
I have to say their fall-themed wedding was stunning, with vibrant colors of the season showcased in everything from the bridesmaids’ dresses to the flowers and decor at The Westmount Country Club, my favorite New Jersey wedding venue. Family and friends gathered around Carmela and Nick, creating memories that will last a lifetime. It was a night of celebration, of toasts and dances, of heartfelt moments and pure happiness.
Carmela and Nick’s wedding day was a true reflection of their love story – elegant, vibrant, and filled with happiness. It was a privilege to witness and capture every moment, and I am forever grateful to have been a part of their journey.
Here’s to many more years of love, laughter, and happily ever after for Carmela and Nick. Thank you guys for letting me document your wedding. Enjoy these images as you re-live those wedding moments…
