Ana & Chris, Part 2

As I was uploading Chris and Ana's photos to their online gallery, I found a few more I wanted to share...Just some random shots!










I mentioned in my last blog that for the wedding, I had the pleasure of working with the lovely and talented Ananda Lima. This was Ananda's first wedding, and she did a GREAT job!! I chose Ananda as a second shooter because she has a really artistic eye, and her photos tend to have a dreamlike quality. Did I mention that she's also just an awesome person in general? I had SO much fun working with Ananda, and I can't wait to do it again! Make sure to check out her site at http://www.AnandaLima.com Some of my favorite shots by Ananda are below. Enjoy!!!


Pssst...Look in the mirror! A shot of me has made it onto my blog! Thanks for the cool action shot, Ananda!

Chris & Ana's Wedding

You may remember Chris and Ana from their Hoboken engagement session last year. These two were last year's free wedding contest winners. They got married on April 3rd at Crystal Plaza in Livingston, NJ. The venue was stunning! Jeanine La Macchia was the hairstylist, and Jeanine Mangan did the makeup--they both did an awesome job! Kelvin Gerald kept the music going all night long (and even gave the guests an encore when they started cheering for more!)

It was really difficult narrowing down my favorites...Despite a little rain in the morning, these two had the perfect day! The ceremony was gorgeous, and Ana's pink color scheme looked incredible. The ceremony was quite emotional, especially when Ana read Chris a poem by E.E. Cummings-I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. They left the ceremony to an instrumental version of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" which even got me crying! The party kicked off with some great entrances by the bridal party, and the dance floor was packed all night. We ended the evening with an impromptu photo shoot in the cocktail hour room. Now I'll stop telling you how amazing their big day was, and let you see for yourself!

Congrats Chris and Ana, I wish you two all the very best!!
