NJ Wedding Photography - Jennifer & Brandon The Villa Mountain Lakes NJ

I had the honor of capturing Jennifer and Brandon's NJ wedding photography! Such a beautiful couple and a wonderful wedding. I couldn't wait to post some teasers, so here are a few I showed during their reception (same day edit). Make sure you stay posted here on my blog and on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/angelicacriscuolophotography) to get updated pictures from Mr. and Mrs. Macaluso's wedding! LOVE the red theme and loved Jennifer's red shoes with gold tone accents! The flowers also had the same theme and the bridal party just looked gorgeous.  I cannot wait to show more! Jennifer and Brandon are off to Africa today for their  honeymoon, which is another reason why I wanted to get these teasers posted! Plus, it's the bride's birthday today! Just a lot to be happy and thankful for and so glad I was a part of it.

Thanks to Cecilia for being an excellent 2nd shooter and to Matt for always being a wonderful assistant. My team rocked!

NJ Wedding Photography | The Villa at Mountain Lakes

Happy New Year everyone!!! Let's start out the year by looking back to the fabulous NJ Wedding Photography of Jennifer and Brandon! Such a gorgeous fall day and the weather was just perfect. The bridal party got ready at The Hilton in Parsippany-Troy Hills NJ. When I got to the bridal suite, the ladies were getting ready, laughing, smiling and having a great time. Jennifer just finished her hair and getting her makeup done. Great time to get detail shots of her Mori Lee lace dress (GORGEOUS!!!) as well as the bridesmaid's floor-length red strapless dresses. The contrast with the bouquets was amazing. Red, gold...just perfect! By the way, when I saw Jennifer's shoes I was just amazed since they were perfect! The men were taking their time getting ready and Brandon just looked dashing in his tux and white bow-tie. The men headed down to the gazebo to escort Brandon for the first look. I escorted the ladies down and I was nervous!!! One of the best moments, I think, is the first look. Seeing Brandon's reaction to Jennifer being dressed up in her beautiful beaded lace dress, he hair in an up-do and all in all looking like a classic beauty. These two are truly a lucky couple. After a few bridal party portraits by a lake by the church in Pompton Lakes, NJ, we were off the Saint Mary's church for the ceremony. Just a beautiful ceremony and reminds me time and time again why I love shooting weddings. As the bride and groom walk out, they were greeted with bubbles in the air blown by the wedding guest.

As the guests and bridal party head to The Villa in Mountain Lakes New Jersey,  everyone was treated to the bride and groom dancing a choreographed dance! "Feels Like Home" by Chantal Krevlazuk was Jennifer and Brandon's first dance song, and looking at them you can definitely feel that they were one with a bright future ahead of them. Everyone danced the night away with a few cigars outdoors for the men, cake for everyone, and love and laughter just everywhere.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Macaluso!!! I am so very happy for you and happy Angelica Criscuolo Photography was part of it all! As part of Jennifer and Brandon's wedding package, they are enjoying their high resolution images by viewing them on a complimentary iPad! To wrap this up and send it in time for Christmas and before I took time off for the holidays definitely made me feel like Santa. Having amazing brides and groom like Jennifer and Brandon and ensuring they, and all our couples, receive spectacular images that capture all the moments that occurs during a wedding day and ensuring our couples become an integral part of the Angelica Criscuolo Photography family is why we were voted by The Knot Best of Weddings 2013...Thank you!

Happy New Year to everyone once again and I cannot wait to start planning and outlining wedding plans with my 2013 and 2014 bride and grooms!!!

Love,

xoxo Angelica

New York City Engagement Photo - C+J at South Street Seaport

I enjoyed shooting this New York City Engagement session with Christina + Joseph at South Street Seaport!!! Not only are they obviously in-love, but they are fun, lively, adorable, and were ready to do anything for a fun session. Right from the start the two hit it off the first time they met and got along extremely well...as if they were meant to be! During a vacation in Lake George, Joseph proposed to Christina and simply stated that they shouldn't go out to dinner as boyfriend and girlfriend, but as something more...his fiancé. Christina wept...and of course she said yes.  Her ring is a heirloom from her great grandmother! Such a beautiful piece of art and these two are so lucky to have found one another and they cannot wait to start their journey together. Their wedding is in the spring of 2014 and their friend made a cute umbrella with their Save The Date! Great idea and it made a wonderful prop for pictures. South Street Seaport is a favorite place in New York City, and so glad that's where they decided to do their session there. The place was vibrant and full of life, just like our wonderful couple.  Christina had many ideas and I LOVE it when couples share their vision and I am more than happy to meet the challenge of making that vision become a reality. After looking over their images, I just sighed the whole time since I just felt their love through their photographs. This is why I do what I do so I can capture what I see, and share it with in-love couples so they can have those memories forever. I am happy they loved the pictures so here's a few teasers from their engagement session!
