“I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you”
~Grow Old With You, by Adam Sandler
Saturday, Jess + Rich were married at the Inn at Fernbrook Farms in New Jersey. The lyrics to the above song were read during their ceremony. The perfect combination of romance and humor. Perfect for them. Jess + Rich decided to do a ‘first look,’ where they see each other before the ceremony and get their photos done since there wasn’t much time between the ceremony and reception. I *love* the idea of the bride + groom having this private moment, all their own, and I explain this option to all of my brides+grooms. I’m so happy that they did, as it allowed their day to flow much more easily and allowed them to relax and not rush (which is always good for a wedding day!). This was such a sweet moment, and here are just two shots from their ‘first look’…
Jess’s Dad handmade all of these signs on the grounds directing people to the ceremony site and reception site… How sweet is he??
Love this shot of Jess’s sister comforting their mom after the ceremony…
Doing their ‘first look’ allowed us plenty of time to explore the grounds and get shots like this…
Congratulations Jess + Rich!! It was an absolute joy getting to know you two these past few months and getting to be a part of your day. Enjoy your honeymoon cruise!
