David’s Country Inn, Hackettstown NJ Wedding Photography {Ela and Mark}

 Ela and Mark go together perfectly. When you are with them it is clear to see that they completely in love. It almost feels as if they have always been together, because they mesh so well. Ela and Mark met through a mutual friend but also had psychology class together in college. Since then, they not only fell in love but their love grew into something special. One night Mark took Ela out to her favorite restaurant. After dinner they strolled through Hoboken’s Sinatra Park, found a romantic spot with the view of the New York City skyline, and Mark got down and one knee and popped the question! Of course, Ela said yes! And now Ela and Mark are married! We are honored to have photographed such a beautiful and joyful couple as they celebrate their marriage with all those that they love. Congratulations Ela and Mark!
