When I first met George and Reta, they described my style with what I consider to be the absolute most perfect word: lighthearted. They loved the moments we capture and definitely don’t take themselves too seriously.

The camera, however, took some getting used to, but on the wedding day they were so wrapped up in enjoying each other and their guests they hardly even noticed me and I think we were finally able to capture the part of them that they and I really have in common.

This was our first Egyptian Coptic wedding, and Sean and I got some awesome compliments from guests, family and wedding party on our working style, which I’ll post at the bottom of this blog. The wedding took place at the Crystal Plaza in Livingston, New Jersey.

“I never saw a photographer so aware of absolutely everything that was going on around them. Someday when my kids get married I’m going to hire you for their wedding.” – Random Guest at Reception

::Groomsmen comes up to me as I was snapping a quick photo of a little boy who had just taken up the Mic on the altar:: “Annnd you even got THAT shot. I don’t think you guys missed a thing.”

And my personal favorite (from the FOB): “You are very good and I really like your personality, too! But I feel bad for your husband… it is a strong personality.” Ahahaha, yes sir, I feel bad for Sean, too.
