The Grove Wedding: Danielle and Scott {New Jersey Wedding Photographer}

It was an awe-inspiring affair. How could so much beauty, grandeur, and romance be contained within sunrise to sunset? This is the story of Danielle and Scott’s wedding day.

Dressed in lace, her best friends pinned her hair and applied her blush. This was the day Danielle was going to marry the man, who was once the boy she fell in love with many years ago. She waited for him to realize it was always her, and he waited for her as she held onto her mother’s arm while walking down the aisle; as her father was smiling down on his precious daughter from above. And although there is no crying in heaven, I’m sure there was a tear in his eye.

And in front of God and all those they hold most dear, Danielle and Scott became husband and wife, and promised to walk side by side, through thick and thin, through this unpredictable yet beautiful life.

There were ribbons and bubbles, shouts and hugs, and a romantic rolls royce as the newlyweds left the church. Portraits were taken at the formal Van Vleck Gardens, located on a suburban estate in Montclair, New Jersey. I loved the soft, neutral palette of colors in the bridesmaid dresses and in the stunning bouquets by MDS Floral Designs. The flower girls in tulle and feathers melted my heart. And let’s not forget the adorable ring bearer in his miniature black tux, holding onto the ring security box.

A magnificent reception at The Grove awaited guests. The ballroom was dressed to the nines in gold and lavender hues. Enchanting white calla lilies and romantic floating candles were the centerpieces. The theme of the day “It was always you” was written over the cake and on the champagne glasses. A monogramed white dance floor welcomed hundreds of dancing feet.

Platinum Entertainment worked their magic and created one of the best dance parties I’ve ever seen. The energy was through the roof. A strolling saxophonist and a live percussionist provided the reception with an extra flair of excitement.

It was a glorious day and night, and still my favorite moment of the day wasn’t the big dance party, the rolls royce, or the perfect details…it was the moment his face, his tear-filled face, saw his bride in white walking towards him. And when I saw his face, I had a feeling that he always knew it was her; always her.

Congratulations Danielle and Scott.
