Kristina and Diaya | Married Crystal Ballroom Wedding | Freehold, NJ

Weddings

The first thing Jay and I noticed when we met Kristina and Diaya last year was that they were completely in love and they just love, love to laugh.  Jay and I knew right from the start that they’d be a wonderful couple to work with.  On the day of their wedding, Kristina and Diaya just couldn’t stop smiling, even when the forecast called for a rainy day.  Luckily, the rain was nothing but a light drizzle when it came time for their First Look on the Princeton University campus among the beautiful university buildings.  They then tied the knot at the Crystal Ballroom in Freehold, NJ, and celebrated with friends and family on one of the liveliest dance floors Jay and I have ever seen!  Talk about a dancing crowd!  My favorite part of the reception, though, was the look on Diaya’s face when his unexpected Raiders-themed groom cake came out!  I thought it was just so sweet of Kristina to surprise him like that on their wedding day.  These two just love making each other happy.  Jay and I have enjoyed getting to know this couple and are so thrilled that they are now husband and wife.  Kristina and Diaya, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your big day.  We wish you a lifetime of happiness, love, and laughter.  A quick thank you to Eddie for second shooting for us while Jay was on video!

And now, here are some of our favorites of the day that I hope the newlyweds will enjoy as they relax on the beaches of the Riviera Maya. Happy honeymooning, Mr. and Mrs. Kwara!
