christine & michael

after photographing christine and michael this summer at the shore, i knew i was in for a good time on their wedding day. i headed back to the shore to photograph their day at the oyster point hotel in red bank...

a 'love is all you need' beatles theme...

dueling best friend hair-do shots...

i like when i find things in cool places...

michael's dad helps him get ready...

handsome...

love this...

gorgeous...

right after christine and michael did their first look, michael said, 'you're my best friend' and started tearing up... it was very sweet to witness.

we didn't have honey on the wedding day, but rather a bigger, whiter, stand-in...

remake of a classic photo of christine's grandparents...

total naturals...

this looks like a staged first look, but really it's a candid moment...

the flower girl and ringbearer practice walking down the aisle together before the ceremony...

...but the ringbearer ends up going it alone...

michael's reaction just as christine starts to walk down the aisle...

cake topper...

...and this crowd was ready to party!

christine's sister gives a toast...

spirit hands...

a beautiful day, a beautiful couple and a crowd ready to party... awesome times with christine, michael and their friends and family!
