2011 Aug 7: Wedding Photography | Maeve & Nate | Asbury Park, NJ
I’m just gonna come out and say it: I’m a biiiiiiiiiig, big fan of the Jersey Shore. Both the show, and the place. Fist pumping, beach, what more could you want?!
Given this, it is painfully obvious how beyond-excited I was to shoot Maeve and Nate’s Jersey Shore wedding. There may not have been fist pumping (and I’m sure that’s for the better), but there was a whole lot of beach. And sun. And love :)
Aside from that, one other thing that made their wedding day super awesome was that they had planned for a huge chunk of time for bride/groom portraits… before the ceremony. If you’re down with breaking tradition and seeing each other before the ceremony for photos, then a). I love you already, b). You will be much more relaxed and less rushed, and c). You will have more time for these once-in-a-lifetime photos than if you tried to cram them in at the beginning of cocktail hour (which I really hate having to keep you from).
Ok ok, one more awesome thing: they had a hula hooping contest at the reception!! I can’t even tell you how excited I was about this. I will even go so far as to admit to hula hooping in my apartment while watching the Jersey Shore (how’s that for coming full circle?). And that’s not even a one-time thing, that’s pretty much on the regular. I use a weighted hoop that’s meant for fitness, in case you’re interested :D

Seriously, fun wedding to the MAX. And those colors are fantastic. I love the shot of her putting her veil on.
What an awesome wedding! Love the theme and all the details. Looks like it was so much fun!
Oh. My. Goodness. So much fun! How lucky you are to shoot such a gorgeous wedding…. and you 100% did it justice! Your shooting style was absolutely spot-on for their day. Perfection!
