Meeting Jess and Anthony for the first time on their engagement session was truly a match made in heaven! I knew from the first time speaking with Jess on the phone that we would have the most wonderful year together planning everything out perfectly to make sure her wedding day went beautifully!
Anthony and Jess fell in love with the Stone House, located in Warren, New Jersey. It is such a quaint restaurant/wedding venue situated on a beautiful property.
The whole bridal party gathered in Basking ridge New Jersey at a local hotel. When we arrived, we knew that the party had already begun! Jess probably was the most calm bride I have had. She totally embraced the day making sure she enjoyed every moment.
The forecast seemed a bit threatening for the day so we decided to get outside at the hotel to capture all of our bridesmaid photos and some gorgeous portraits for Jess. Jeff also had a wonderful time capturing all of the fun that Anthony shared in with his best guys.
Jess and Anthony chose to do a first look. Upon arriving at the Stone House the sky did happen to open up, but thankfully it did stop so we could enjoy a beautiful first look, the first one with Jess and her two brothers, and then on to her groom! We did capture some fun photos with some cute umbrellas. They always make the rain seem way more fun!
The afternoon we had the chance to do all of our portraits outdoors. The Stone House has the most beautiful covered area where the ceremony would take place which ensured a place for us despite the rain. As soon as the ceremony ended, the skies gave way to clearing and we had the most beautiful light.
The night was filled with dancing and partying and I must say Jess and Anthony truly had the best day of their lives with many more to come!
