Brianne and Joey: New Jersey Wedding Photography

We headed out to the Jersey Shore for Brianne and Joey’s wedding… the forecast was for rain, so we were a little disappointed that we wouldn’t be able to get shots on the beach and we assumed they’d have to cancel the bonfire later on that evening… well, the rain held off for the most part, and the ceremony and pictures were all done outside on the beach, as was the bonfire.

So already you can tell this is a great wedding, right… I’ve mentioned the beach and a bonfire.  There was a mashed potato station and pulled pork sliders, and c’mon, you can’t go wrong with that.  And at the bonfire there was a guitar jam session with the boys… and a sing-along to GnR’s Patience… which was pretty killer.  Well, it was definitely a great day with more than a few scattered bits of pure awesomeness throughout.   I already did a quick post on The Rainbow shot we captured… here are more images from the wedding… and if you want to see even more images, check out the Small Moments Studios  facebook page… we’ll be posting more later.

Mother of the bride told me a story… she asked that the sun shine down on her daughter as she walked down the aisle.  I’ll tell you what, it was an overcast day, everyone was walking down in the shade… the bride steps up with her father (Here Comes The Sun is playing) and all of a sudden, the clouds part and the sun shines down.  Everybody was taken aback, and the videographer turned to me and said “now I’m not a religious man, but did you see that?!”  Add to that the full rainbow that came later… there was definitely some sort of presence.

So many great moments in the day… so much fun.  Oh, and the Small Moments Studios SPOTLIGHT photobooth was killer as well.  Thanks and congratulations again Brianne and Joey!  Keith and I were honored to be a part of it all.

Be well,

-Ryan.
