Here’s part two of Ann Marie and Ralph’s wedding! They are both christian and Egyptian and so they got married at the Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church in Howell NJ. This was the first time I’d been to or photographed in a Coptic Orthodox church and it was such a great experience.
Prior to the ceremony we went to Snug Harbor cultural center and Botanical Garden in Staten Island, NY to do the couple’s portraits and family photographs. It was absolutely gorgeous – I recommend a visit if you are ever in the area Their reception took place at Newark Museum – grand and elegant - a gorgeous location for a wedding reception. I got to walk around and check out the very cool art and sculpture pieces with the couple and I was very impressed.
Congratulations Ann Marie and Ralph – Thank you for having me and I wish you all the best in married life!

Ann Marie had 11 bridesmaids and Ralph just had a best man -


There were pockets of sunlight everywhere falling on Ralph’s suit in this pathway but I love this photo -

The church is beautiful, so are the couple and images. All the pictures in the arch are my favorite. It looks so enchanted. I like the new blog signature too.
The last one is also my fave shot of the day. Nice job as usual!
