Hopely-Kimball [The Big Day]

It was probably about a year ago when I got this email from a coworker and friend asking me if I would be willing to travel to New Jersey to shoot their wedding. Now at the time I didn’t even have one wedding under my belt yet. So I was a bit shocked, a bit nervous, but excited at the same time. So I obviously agreed to shoot the wedding. The time flew by and the day was upon us. The day that I drove to the Orange County airport to board a plane to Philly. It was hard to believe that time had gone by so fast and it was time for Michele and Brian to become husband and wife. Now the nervousness had died down by now, because I had quite a few weddings under my belt. So now I was just excited.

Here’s a few from Michele and Brian’s special day:

I just had to get this shot. We both have the same name and we both spell it in a unique way…with 1 “L”.

After the family portraits were done in the church we decided to head out into town for some fun shots. Unfortunately by the time we got there it was pretty much dark…but we worked with what we had. Do you like this one in color or black and white?

Their first dance was just so sweet.

    I like both of the Tanner Street pix’s…..but if
    I had to pick one, I think the color pix is just
    a little better for me!

    I love the pix’s and can’t wait to see them all!

    Michele,

    I can not tell you how beautiful the pictures you took have turned out. Michele is very lucky to have a friend who is so kind & talanted. You did a great job and captured exactly what it was that Michele was looking for. Thank you so much for making my sister so happy.

    Best Wishes,
    Nikki

    Love the Tanner Street shot in color. It captures the essence of Michele and Brian – pausing for a moment in time to embrace and express their love – while everyone else rushes by. Way cool! Can’t wait to see more – they are all beautiful and artistic!

    Michele, (with one L…I love it)

    These pictures are amazing! I was telling my husband how I couldn’t wait to see them because her photographer rocked!! Thank you so much for capturing such a wonderful day and such a beautiful bride! And the Tanner Street pics were awesome…even though we were all freezing our butts off! Can’t wait to see more. It so nice to meet you & your mom by the way.

    Take care,
    Chrissy
