kaitlin & mike

when i met with kaitlin and mike, i knew they were a great couple.  they met at boston college and lived in quite a few different places during their many years together.  their chemistry is undeniable and their company is wonderful. i loved being able to get to know them a little better by having dinner together after shooting their engagement session in hoboken this summer.  i knew their wedding would be a fun one! and i was right! kaitlin and mike had a nonstop dance party of a wedding at the laurita winery in new egypt, new jersey.  

they both got ready at the beautiful inn at laurita winery...

this just looks like it feels good...

love this candid moment between kaitlin and her mom...

 grey suits and blue ties for the win...

love a man that knows how to iron cause i certainly can't, hah (fortunately, my husband knows how :o) )

looking so beautiful... just love the neckline of her dress!

and of course... mike looking very handsome....

love this candid moment after kaitlin and mike's first look...

kaitlin takes a moment to take a deep breath (anyone that has ever been a bride will appreciate this moment)...

adorable!

laurita winery makes a great setting for photos....

...but nothing does beat awesome chemistry between my couple....

kaitlin and mike had a very sweet ceremony. i might be a little biased since they incorporated two songs that are meaningful to me and even a reading....

mike's parents look on...

love this exchange...

kaitlin and mike wrote their own vows... my fave! 

love this shot of mike and his mom...

hah!

you had to be there...

party time!

hah and hah. 

does anyone remember what song this was???

anybody???

you can always tell how fun the party is by the variety of intense expressions you get out of the crowd!

such an awesome day with kaitlin and mike and their spectacular friends and family. kaitlin and mike even enjoyed a honeymoon in africa, awesomeness. many thanks to brian for assisting me.
