After many years of traditional banquet halls and outdated wedding venues, new things are finally happening in Jersey. The brand-spanking-new Maritime Parc in Jersey City is the perfect venue for anybody looking for a cool, contemporary space for their wedding. It's beautiful, modern and has an amazing view of Liberty State Park and the Manhattan skyline! One of our favorite parts about the space was the geometric paneled ceilings--it definitely added a touch of modern flair to the ceremony and reception set up without being fussy or over-the-top. Marcella and Nick did a spectacular job glamming it up for their wedding, with purple details as far as the eye could see. The adorable cupcake tower and candy favors were a sweet touch to it all.

The bride's ensemble was a beautiful Blue by Enzoani gown topped off with her mother's gorgeous lace cathedral veil (as her "something old"); and we loved the groom's black-and-white wing-tipped shoes! Definitely suited up and ready to party.

We're seeing a lot of mini fans this summer hiding in brides and bridesmaids' pockets. And for good reason, too, with this summer being so warm and steamy! At least with these bright, sunny days, us photographers couldn't be more happy. Especially when it makes the bride look this amazing. I mean, look at her--she is literally glowing!

Jane and Reuben first met during business school at Columbia University in New York City. So what better place to tie the knot that on their very campus where it all began. It's also a no-brainer when your campus chapel is that gorgeous! After meeting in the Central Park Conservatory Gardens for some pre-ceremony portraits, the bride made her emotional walk down the aisle at the stunning Columbia University Chapel (in the most blinged-out pair of Jimmy Choo's, of course!) to meet her husband-to-be...and their hot pink entourage. This bridal party really made it a memorable, touching, and undeniably fun day for Jane and Reuben. Like making everybody yell "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam Seng!" at the top of their lungs while raising their glasses to the bride and groom Singaporean style. With a live band, entertaining Pae Baek ceremony, and enough dancing to go around, their dinner reception at the Columbia University Faculty House was a definite win. In every Singaporean, Korean, and American way.

Weddings can make any girl feel like royalty, especially when you have a fairy-tale wedding like Rachel and Pat! The bride's sparkly, tulle ballgown by Lazaro was nothing short of magical. Plus the amazing jeweled hairpiece, her gorgeous lavender and peach bouquet, a sharp-looking groom (in a tailed tux!), and we've got a wedding worthy of a princess and her prince charming. And how appropriate that they'll be visiting the brand new Disney resort in Hawaii for their honeymoon!

Rachel and Pat's reception was nothing short of fabulous either. It was probably the first time we've ever seen people plank at a wedding....on top of each other. With the bride on top. And somehow, the bouquet and garter were caught by a daughter and father pair for some priceless (and jaw-dropping) moments! It was definitely a magical and memorable day, and we're so honored to have been there to share it with them! Rachel and Pat, you both looked like you were worth a million dollars, and we hope you felt that way as well (smile). Cheers!
