First of all - let me start off with one of the best parts f the day.  As soon as I arrived I was greeted with a loud scream, a hug and an awesome quote.  "Drew's here - Now it feels like a wedding" (or something like that lol).  I had been looking forward to this wedding for quite a while - especially after Dean showed me her "research" Which consisted of a lot of photographers rated with a classification system of "Meh, Ehh, ok, NOOO!!!, and bleh."   I had the awesome rating of "Lovee!!!!"  which means the pressure was on to produce some stellar images and live up to expectations!   The weather of course knew this - and was not trying to make my day easy. With a schedule sunset of 4:30, the weather decided to throw some cloud cover that made it seem to set an hour earlier.   No to be outdone Deana and Matt pushed through the rain and cold to capture some stellar images.  After the ceremony and crazy weather - it was on to the reception, where the party started off right!  Fog machines and drinks aplenty made for an amazing night!  Thanks you two!

I had asked Deana a little bit about the two of them:

      "To this day we still argue about who pursued who when we started dating for the second time.         Matt's a cop - obviously, and I work in Revenue Management.  According to Matt, I have a "geeky math job" which to this day he still doesn't know how to explain to anyone what I do for a living.  We fit together like a pair of socks - we are incredibly similar and things just do not feel right if we aren't together.  We are foodies and chronic eaters and fell in love over many late night dinners in restaurants across the tri state area.  I married an older man....by just two days.  We are the same age, born under the same sign (if you believe in that stuff) and have incredibly similar personalities.  We are both Gemini's which means that we both have two people living inside of us; which essentially means that there are 4 people in our relationship."

If you want to read some more about it - she also sent me THIS link - Pretty hillarious :-)

Thanks for being such an amazing couple - and such a blast to hang out with!

So a few days after returning from Fiji we were off to shoot once again in the homeland!  I had been looking forward to this wedding for a while after meeting Christie and Sean and seeing the excitement towards taking photos.  Off we went grabbing some details, some portraits, some group shots, some candid, some party, and some goofy.  At the very end of the night it had just started to rain which cooled off the ground - not to be outdone by mother nature I sprawled out across the puddles to grab an epic photo of the new couple.  After standing back up and realizing just how soaked I had become - they were nice enough to let me know I could change back into "Pre party clothes."  Thanks you two!!!!

Loved the light in this shot!




And you thought they were ordinary groomsmen.

Gorgeous flowers!




Loved this shot of their first kiss.




I think they rocked out

Up, Up, and away to Peapack NJ where we met up with Sandra and David at the amazing Natirar.  One of the most amazing places in North Jersey to shoot with it's spacious rooms and flowing landscapes.  After shooting the details and meeting up we headed out back to take advantage of some of the amazing architecture of the Mansion and then on to the Ceremony.  Thank you so much for taking me along on your love story!

Out to Stroudsburg PA we headed to document the awesome couple of Julie and Greg.  I have to say the guys didn't disappoint - hanigng out in a room full of beer and pizza :-).  It was evident after they met up and we started shooting the special spark these two shared.  We had a blast running around finding some great places to shoot - and they even put up with me setting up some more "creative" shots (which includes hanging my cameras from new trees and such).   Thanks for giving me the ability to capture such awesome images!  You guys rock!
