Mary and Bryan’s wedding in Montclair, NJ, was a day filled with joy and elegance. Mary, whom I met at a past wedding where she was a bridesmaid, was now a stunning bride.
The ceremony took place at the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church. This beautiful church set the stage for their timeless wedding. The venue was adorned with classic decorations, enhancing the church’s already magnificent architecture
Despite the rain that fell all day long, the couple’s spirits remained high. Most of the portraits were taken indoors due to the weather, but we made the best of the situation. The indoor locations were just as stunning, providing a cozy, intimate feel to the photos.
The reception at The Venetian was nothing short of spectacular. The elegant decor and lively atmosphere made for an unforgettable evening. Family and friends gathered to celebrate Mary and Bryan, enjoying great food, music, and company.
Determined to give them the outdoor portraits they dreamed of, we planned a portrait session a few weeks later. The beautiful spring day featured the cherry blossoms of Branch Brook Park, providing a stunning backdrop. These portraits captured the essence of their love amidst the blooming flowers.
Mary and Bryan’s wedding was truly a memorable event. The combination of their love, the elegant venues, and the unexpected weather made it a unique and special day. I’m grateful to have been part of their journey from bridesmaid to bride and beyond.
