Getting Ready in Jersey City: The Day Begins

Our day began at two different locations in Jersey City, where both Victoria and Mike prepared for their big day. Victoria’s getting ready photos took place at 38 Mercer Street, a beautiful home filled with natural light and charm. As we arrived, the bridal suite was buzzing with excitement. Hair and makeup were in the final stages, and Victoria was surrounded by her closest friends and family. We captured the final touches of her preparations, from her mom adjusting her veil to the delicate details of her wedding dress, rings, and bouquet. The room was filled with emotion as Victoria prepared to meet Mike for their first look at Liberty State Park.

Meanwhile, Mike’s getting ready photos were taken just a short distance away at 257 Halladay Street. Our second photographer, Michelle, was there to capture the groom’s preparation as he and his groomsmen dressed and helped each other with boutonnieres. These candid moments reflected the close bond between Mike and his friends, who were by his side as he got ready to marry the love of his life.

During this time, we captured candid photos of the couple’s family and friends as they mingled and shared in the joy of the day. One of the highlights of the cocktail hour was the opportunity to take golden hour photos with Victoria and Mike.

As the sun began to set over the Hudson River, we stepped outside with the couple for a series of romantic portraits. The soft, golden light bathed the couple in a warm glow, and the photos we captured during this time were nothing short of magical. Golden hour is always a special time for wedding photography, and at Liberty House, the combination of the sunset and the iconic skyline created an unforgettable moment for Victoria and Mike.

These photos not only showcased the elegance of the reception setup but also provided the couple with a lasting memory of the care and thought that went into creating their perfect day.

Reception: A Night of Celebration

The evening continued with a lively reception inside Liberty House. The room was filled with laughter, music, and celebration as guests enjoyed dinner and dancing. The couple’s first dance was a tender moment that we captured with both wide shots of the dance floor and intimate close-ups of their joyful expressions. Following their first dance, the parent dances added even more emotion to the night, with both Victoria and Mike sharing special moments with their parents on the dance floor.

During the dinner service, we took table photos with the couple’s four family tables, ensuring that every important guest was photographed with the newlyweds. These photos provide a wonderful keepsake for the couple, allowing them to look back on all the people who helped make their day so special.
