Getting Ready Moments at Embassy Suites

The day began with Marisa getting ready at the Embassy Suites in Berkeley Heights, where Ryan, our lead photographer, skillfully captured the finishing touches. From delicate shots of the bride’s bouquet, rings, perfume, and veil to candid moments of Marisa popping champagne with her bridesmaids, the getting ready phase was full of excitement and anticipation. One of the most touching moments was when Marisa’s mom helped her with the final details of her dress, followed by the emotional first look between Marisa and her bridesmaids.

The handsome groom and his groomsmen were also getting ready at the Embassy Suites. Our second photographer, Taras, captured the groom putting on his tie and cufflinks, surrounded by his groomsmen and family. These early photos are always some of our favorites, as they capture the joy and camaraderie between friends and family before the ceremony.

Following the bridal party session, it was time for the more formal family photos.

The emotions of the day were palpable as the couple, their closest family members, and the rabbi gathered to make their commitment official. Shortly after, the couple stood under the chuppah for their ceremony, surrounded by their loved ones.

The ceremony was filled with laughter, tears, and joy, culminating in the smashing of the glass, which was met with a resounding “Mazel Tov!” from the crowd. These moments were beautifully documented, allowing Marisa and Yitzhak to relive their special day for years to come.
