NYC Wedding Photographer- Jillian & Billy

On such a day full of joy, laughter, and love, we had a spectacular time capturing the matrimony of Jillian and William at the St. Vincent de Paul. We had such a splendid shooting this wedding in New Jersey. Being apart of such a beautiful ceremony after capturing the bride to be brother's ceremony, Adam MccGowan, made the wedding that much more meaningful.

The spectacular day began with both the bride to be and groom getting ready at the Bridgewater Mariott surrounded by loved ones. Jillian wore a beautiful gown crafted by the fantastic hands at Amsale. The bride's makeup was beautifully set by the wonderful Elizabeth Amsellem. The hair of the bride was arranged by the talented hands of Melissa D'Aloia & Co. The groom's suit styled by The Black Tux helped him to look all the more dapper!

After a lovely ceremony in the church of St. Vincent de Paul, the couple stow away before festivities to take beautiful pictures against a breath taking sunset background the Ryland Inn Coach house. The newly wedded couple and their guests came together for celebration in The Ryland Inn. With the help of a beautiful arrangement of flowers by Crest Florist and food graciously catered by Ryland Inn, loved ones of the married couple danced the night away.

Congratulations once again to Jillian and Billy, it was an honor capturing these special moments!
