NJ Family Photographer | Montclair NJ | The Brouse Family

What a fun outdoor session with the Brouse family!  Ashley and Ross, the love you both share for your beautiful girls shines thru with how naturally playful you are to them. Little Natalie and Jordan definitely enjoyed running all thru the park and playing dress up!  After spending the afternoon with you I was reminded that family really is everything :) 

NJ Wedding Photographer | Chart House, Weehawken, NJ | Jen & John

Jen and John, I could write a novel about my experience that I have have the pleasure of sharing with the two of you, your families and your friends.  This entire group of people are so close to my heart because we all grew up together in the same town, cheered for the same teams and somewhere in all of that feel stitched together like family.  (If you didn't grow up in Rutherford you just may not "get it", sorry!)  Jen and John, thank you so much for having us there with you on your wedding day, you guys and your wedding party were the absolute MOST fun and entertaining!    

To Barb Wentzel and Lauren Jones, thank you both for putting 110% into this very special wedding day :)

We stopped by Pete and Danielle's house where John and his crew were getting ready 

The dance party had already begun in the living room, was a definite tell tale sign of what was to come later on... ;)

Then headed literally around the corner to where Jen and the girls were getting ready (love it when we are able to get prep shots of the bride and groom!)

Jen's bridesmaids made for nine gorgeous gals!

Jen's something blue were her blue painted toenails :)

Jen, you looked AMAZING on your wedding day

Jen gave her Dad a personalized embroidered handkerchief, it was a beautiful and emotional moment between them... 

Yes, it was NJ's hottest day ever!  But we were all properly hydrated :)

Love this image below of Jen's Dad giving her away

Thumbs up during their ceremony!

John looks like a little kid in this image below :)

First stop for photos after the ceremony was Memorial Field in Rutherford to pay homage to their RHS days together....GO BULLDOGS!!!

John requested this shot below of the bridal party and I have to say it was totally worth getting black astroturf specs all over my arms and legs!

We headed over to the waterfront in Weehawkin for the remainder of their portraits and thankfully caught a much needed breeze

Their reception was held at The Chart House in Weehawkin, love the view of NYC!

Awesome reception intro image of Jen and John below courtesy of Super B (a.k.a. Barb Wentzel)

Their friend Tom Moloney sang Dave Matthews "You and Me" for their first dance song

The dance floor was literally packed all night long

Thank you Lauren with your lighting (and dance swaying) skills for helping me get this kick ass image below
