charlene & manny

it was a hot summer day in jersey city... with another awesome couple!

meet sere.... the maid of honor

cute kate spade shoes...

i loved charlene and manny's invite with the little tandem bike... and i love the fact that charlene was willing to get on one in her wedding dress!

charlene and manny have an awesome living space. i loved the floor-to-ceiling windows and the cool light fixtures...

bride's eye view...

beautiful ceremony at the liberty house...

loved these umbrellas, they probably have a fancier name, but i don't know it. they were certainly needed in the hot summer sun!

some men can never let go of their toys... haha...

but at least he shares his...

if you look closely... you can see charlene in the sunglasses. this just never happens in a church!

charlene and manny are totally adorable together...

how fun are these two?

love it!

charlene and her dad performed a wonderful dance together and if i knew anything about dances, i would tell you what kind of dance it was, but i don't... but it took coordination!

growing up in new york state, no one ever trained me on how to fist pump... but after shooting enough weddings, i have come to learn how jerseyites come to develop their fist pump. they are taught at very young ages by the generation ahead of them at weddings...

manny and his dad get down to the ground...

...but manny loses his balance and his dad keeps going! way to go mr. pata!

manny needs to work on his aim...

or maybe he doesnt... (that was naughty, sorry)

and i quote... "if you take a picture of me, i'll make a stupid face."

don't stop believin...

charlene and manny were such a pleasure to work with. they were so chill about everything... on a very hot day (hah). they headed off to iceland for their honeymoon! thanks to robin roemer for helping me out on this shoot.
