Michael & Dawn are married!

06/07/08 what a great date to get married on, and we had the absolute joy of sharing it with Dawn and Michael. I'm sure when they chose their fully outdoor wedding, they did not anticipate a humid, 98 degree weather day!! Their setting was the Woolverton Inn, a Bed and Breakfast in Stockton New Jersey, what a beautiful setting to get married at – the property couldn’t have been prettier!!

We stayed indoors with Dawn and the girls prior to the ceremony and used the lovely indoor setting before the services. We found the guys in one of the guesthouses and enjoyed quite a few laughs with them as they indulged our creativity with the surroundings. They even agreed to venture out in the heat for a few minutes - what more could a photographer ask for!

Next was the lovely outdoor service that utilized the beautiful setting of the inn. Following the service, we did the family photos indoors so that everyone could cool off for a few minutes. We then ventured back outside with Dawn and Michael to spend some alone time with them. Its great to have this time with our couples as it really allows us to see their love for each other and how much they just enjoy being together. Dawn & Michael were no exception to this as they had so much fun being silly and loving towards each other. And they win the super trooper award for embracing the heat and each other! They did gently tell us that sitting on rocks, baked in the sun all day, gets very hot after a few minutes!

It was time for the tented reception that was just so beautiful. Despite the warm evening air, everyone had lots of fun dancing and showing off their moves on the floor. We must say – we’ve never before had to compete with another photographer while working a wedding. We’re not sure who took more photos – us, or Dawn’s four year old niece!! We give her a few more years experience and we’ll be able to start using her as an assistant!! It was priceless watching her go around to absolutely everyone, taking their photos!! We even got photographed a number of times too!!

Dawn & Michael – we can’t wait to catch up with you to talk about your wedding day!
