shaye And Clifton’s Wedding At Perona Farms In Andover Township, Nj Is One I Will Never Forget! let's Begin At The Day Clifton Decided To Sweep Shaye Off Her Feet Once And For All. It Happened In The Picturesque Town Of New Hope, Pennsylvania, Just Two Days Before Shaye's Birthday. Clifton Orchestrated A Flawless Evening, Starting With A Romantic Dinner Overlooking The Water. Afterward, They Took A Leisurely Stroll By The Canal Where Clifton Proposed. The Perfect Beginning To Their Love Story. 

the Laughlin’s love Story Continued With Their Choice Of Venue. Just Three Days After Clifton's Beautiful Proposal, They Visited Perona Farms And Knew It Was The One For A Perfect july barn Wedding. the Decision Was Quick And Easy. Sometimes, Love Knows Exactly Where It Belongs. 

the Journey To Their Wedding Day Was An Adventure. Shaye Confessed That The Most Challenging Part Of The Planning Process Was Finding The Time. As The First Among Her Friends To Venture Into Matrimonial Territory, She Felt Like A Trailblazer, Navigating The Intricacies Of Wedding Planning With Little Guidance…

“the Most Difficult Part Of The Planning Process Was Finding The Time! I Was The First One Of My Friends To Get Married- So I Felt As If I Started From Ground Zero In Regard To Tips, Contacts For Vendors, Timelines, Etc. I Was Completely In The Dark!” – Bride, Shaye

…however, This Challenge Only Made Their Planning More Special, As They Discovered Each Detail Together. 

amidst The Whirlwind Of Preparations, Shaye Found Comfort In One Particular Detail: Her Dream Wedding Dress. With Each Fitting, She Grew More Enamored With It, Saying “every Time I Tried It On- I Refused To Take It Off!” 

leading Up To Their Big Day, There Was One Worry That Loomed Above All Others – The Weather. In The Unpredictable Realm Of Outdoor Ceremonies, mother Nature Often Holds The Upper Hand. But As Fate Would Have It, Their 30-minute Outdoor Ceremony Enjoyed Nothing But Clear Skies And Sunniness. 

as the Laughlin’s reflected On Their july barn Wedding At Perona Farms, They Shared A Smart Tip For Future Brides And Grooms For Their Wedding Day…

"after We Got Married, We Ran Upstairs Together As A Couple And Had Some Appetizers By Ourselves. We Had The Chance To Talk, Debrief, And Share Some Moments Together As Husband And Wife For The First Time. We Only Took 15 Minutes Out Of Our Cocktail Hour To Do This- And It Was So Worth It.” – Shaye

As i reflect On the Laughlin’s wedding Day, I'm Reminded Of The Power Of Love And How It Brings Two People Together. It Was Lovely Documenting Their Special Day, And I Hope To Capture More Memorable Moments At Perona Farms In The Future!

Weddings Are Universal Celebrations Of Love, Commitment, And The Union Of Two Souls. They Are Rich In Tradition And Symbolism, With Each Culture Adding Its Unique Touch To The Ceremonies. In Coptic Orthodox Christian Weddings, One Of The Most Intriguing And Symbolic Elements Is The Crowns Worn By The Couple. These Crowns, Also Known As "stefana" Or "stephana," Hold Deep Spiritual And Cultural Significance, Representing The Couple's Commitment, Their Unity, And Their Shared Journey Together. In This Blog Post, We Will Explore The Profound Symbolism Behind The Crowns Used In Coptic Orthodox Weddings.sign Of Glory And Honorthe Crowns Worn During A Coptic Orthodox Wedding Are A Symbol Of Glory And Honor.

Each Crown Is Held Together By A Ribbon Or Chain, Symbolizing The Unity And Equality Of The Bride And Groom In Their Marriage.

As The Bride And Groom Exchange These Crowns, They Do More Than Adorn Each Other; They Affirm Their Shared Journey Through Life, Guided By Their Faith, Love, And The Blessings Of Their Community And Church.

ahoy, Future Brides And Grooms, Fellow Photographers, And Anyone Else Who Stumbled Upon My blog! I’m So Excited To Share With You Not Only This Gorgeous Sailboat Engagement Session, But Also Philip And Nicole's Engagement Story!

the Future Mr. And Mrs. Reynold's Story Began In The Digital Realm Of The Hinge Dating App. Followed By A Phone Call, A Facetime Chat, And A Magical Third Date - Their Connection Blossomed Into Something Extraordinary. 

philip's Proposal Was A Night Nicole Would Never Forget. Their Apartment Was Transformed With Rose Petals, Candles, And Frank Sinatra Hits. With The Manhattan Skyline As A Backdrop, Philip Asked Nicole To Be His Wife. 

sailing Is A Shared Passion For Philp And Nicole. Philip grew Up Sailing Competitively Every Summer At The Jersey Shore And Eventually Joined The Sailing Team At The Us Naval Academy Becoming A World Class Sailor Today. And Nicole Took Sailing Lessons Out Of The Manhattan Yacht Club In 2019 And Is Still A Novice. So, As You Can See, Having Their Engagement Session On A Sailboat Was Quite Symbolic.

their Engagement Session Brought Excitement And Challenges. The Excitement? A Stunning Sunset With Just The Right Amount Of Breeze. The Challenge? A Haze From The Canadian Wildfires. But The Photos Turned Out Beautiful For This Perfect Sailboat Engagement Session. 

as They Look Forward To Their Wedding, Philip And Nicole Are Most Excited About Celebrating With Loved Ones. They Can't Wait To Dance The Night Away And Create Memories. this Shoot Was A Reminder That Love Can Set Sail In The Most Unexpected Ways, Like Dating Apps.

When Wedding Photography And Art Collide. We Came Around One Of My Favorite Corners On This Golf Course And Even Though I’ve Passed This Hill Before, Something About The Sky And Grass And Sunlight Made Me Happy And Want To Take A Photo. Maybe It Was The Freshness Of Spring And Simplicity Of The Pretty Colors That Pulled My Attention To It All. Tori & Anthony Let Me Bring My Vision To Life And Climbed That Hill Like Champs. I’m Very Happy They Did!

Nicole And Phil Invited Me Onto His Family’s Sail Boat To Photograph Them Experiencing One Of The Loves Of His Life, Taking Sail. I Definitely Don’t Have Sea Legs, And Bringing My Gear Aboard Was A Bit Scary.. But I Knew I Was In Good Hands. This Was A Blast! I Was Immediately At Ease With Phil’s Career In The Navy Plus Having Siblings And Parents That All More Then Know Their Way Around Booms, Bows, And Other Terms I Don’t Understand. Nicole And Phil Quite Literally Sailed Into The Sunset.
