New Jersey Wedding - Megan & Blake

As a documentary wedding photographer, being booked to cover a wedding all the way in New Jersey, U.S., was an exhilarating opportunity. The anticipation of capturing love stories in a different cultural setting added an extra layer of excitement to my profession. The chosen venue was nothing short of spectacular—a picturesque spot overlooking the Hudson River with the iconic skyline of Manhattan as the backdrop. It was a scene straight out of a movie, and I couldn't wait to explore the moments as they unfolded.

The couple, easy-going & super friendly, radiated joy that was infectious. Their families coming together added to the warmth and sense of unity pervading the atmosphere. One of the highlights of the day was the first look, a tradition less common in the UK but cherished in American weddings. It was a tender moment filled with anticipation, nerves, and raw emotion—a perfect snapshot of the love shared between the couple.

I embraced the challenge of not only documenting the event but also capturing the essence of the location and the unique vibe of the celebration. Each click of my camera shutter felt like capturing a piece of history—a testament to love, family, and the beauty of human connection. From candid exchanges to heartfelt embraces, every image told a story, weaving together the narrative of a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
