Rainy Day Rites

This first photo of Kathy and Joe was a request. We are trying to duplicate Kathy's parents' wedding photo of them in the limo. The original I guess was from the 50's or early 60's. Even though most of us wedding photographers sort of put down the old school wedding photographers of that time, at its best, I can certainly see a parallel between the 50's wedding photographers and the Hollywood portrait photographers of that same era, such as Horst, check out the link and see what I mean.

KKathy and Joes wedding took place September 11th in New Jersey. Though Kathy and Joe planned an outdoor ceremony, the weather didn't feel too much like cooperating. Nonetheless, the mood of their wedding day way just perfect! Getting ready shots and family portraits all took place at the Short Hills Hilton. Afterwards, the bride and groom portraits were done at The Park Savoy, under the entry way so we were able to take advantage of the soft diffused light that only a rainy day can give us.

inner and dancing took place at the Park Savoy in Florham Park, NJ and from the first song on the place rocked! Everyone was on the dance floor from the get go and they never left. To Kathy and Joe, music was obviously important and the band they hired were unbelievable! Thirteen pieces of absolute funk! The best the New York City area has to offer. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the band, perhaps someone could fill me in? Want to see more of Kathy and Joe's photos? Just click here.
