Oh man you guys. I knew it was going to be a great day just because Danielle and Frank are so insanely in love and so genuine but I didn’t know it would be this good. My second shooter, Cinnamon and I walked into their rooms being welcomed by friends and family and we were instantly smiling ear to ear. When Danielle’s father Tom came up to us he gave us huge hugs and you could just tell how emotional and happy the day was going to be. His little girl was marrying the man of her dreams and you could just tell that nothing made Tom happier!
The girls had the cutest pajamas for their getting ready attire so we had to snap a few photos of those!
While the girls were sipping Mimosas Frank and his lifelong friend and Best Man, Joseph helped him get ready for the biggest day of his life!
These guys were so much fun!
Danielle’s mom and sister helped her put the final touches on becoming a bride and this is always one of my favorite parts! And Danielle’s mom, Eileen looked seriously STUNNING in her mother of the bride dress!
Danielle and her father did a first look and it was the best one I’ve ever witnessed! Such a beautiful and sweet moment!
The ceremony took place at St Catharine’s church in Glen Rock, NJ and it was a beautiful ceremony led by Frank’s dad’s cousin. This was the same church Danielle’s parents got married in and there were so many special moments!
We went to Saddle River County Park for portraits and had the most beautiful winter light I’d see all season. It was such a blessing! This winter (as most winters) are always so grey and gloomy but we had some great sunshine! We were so thankful that it was around 40 degrees and sunny (opposed to the teen temperatures and rain and winds the few days leading up to the wedding day) and we got to do all our pictures outside!
And then it was time for portraits!!!! We timed everything perfectly with golden hour and lucked out with a beautiful sunset! I’m so thankful!
You guys are so cute! AH!
This is totally your signature pose. I love it!
The reception took place at Season’s and the food at cocktail hour was UNREAL. There were literally rooms and rooms of food. Dahlia Flowers did a beautiful job on the reception space and was such a pleasure to work with!
Some of my favorite first dance photos ever! SO MUCH HAPPINESS!!!
The parent dances, as usual, made me cry!Frank’s mom looked so so beautiful and was smiling ear to ear the whole day! It made my heart so happy.
Danielle’s father made one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard and surprised her with a video of her growing up. His first child and forever little girl.
The Savoy Stompers kept the dance floor raging the entire night and they were SO talented! It was clear that everyone (including myself) had an absolute blast!)
They were surrounded by so many friends and family which is always such a huge testament to what great people they are!
Danielle and Frank, I am so beyond happy you guys found your soulmates and can’t wait to see all the chapters of your life unfold. I was so honored to capture these special moments for you and hope to see you both soon!!
