Warren, NJ Wedding {Julia and Rich}

As Julia casually joined her father for a ride to the airport, he reminded her how much he loved her. Julia had no idea why he was being such a sap. She had no idea that he was driving her to Rich’s proposal. When they arrived, Rich surprised her with white roses at the gate where they first met and then asked her to be his wife. Julia was stunned! Now she is excited to be Mrs. Stein. Julia and Rich made it official at St. Mary-Stony Hill Church in Warren, NJ then went over to the Watchung Lake Park and later to Washington Rock State Park for photos. Thank you to Francis Rutz for your assistance. Julia and Rich had a gorgeous day filled with so much joy celebrating with their loved ones. Julia and Rich, it was a honor and pleasure to photograph such a loving couple. Congratulations!

Thank you to Alicia of The Pretty Fresh Face for doing a beautiful job with Julia’s flawless makeup.

This beautiful shot is Francis’ angle of Julia and her father just before she was escorted down the aisle.

I love these close ups of Julia and Rich taken by Francis.

First kiss as Mr. & Mrs. Stein!

While Paul took the photo above, Francis caught this moment below.

I was loving working with Julia’s veil. Besides my obsession with veils, Julia’s was a family heirloom!

After the ceremony we went to the Watchung Lake Park and climbed onto the dam.

Mike, one of the groomsmen, climbed to the top and walked across. I wondered how safe this would be, but I guess guys like a little bit of danger. Apparently it is much wider at the top then it looks.

Then rest of the guys joined him.

This awesome shot of Rich and his groomsmen is from our second shooter, Francis.

Once we are all off of the dam, Julia and Rich had some fun on their own at Washington Rock State Park , where the view is gorgeous. You can see NYC on a really clear day!

Julia, you are beautiful. And you, Rich, are one lucky guy.

Julia knows she’s lucky too.

Francis took these glamor shots of their beautiful rings and cake.

Their first dance as husband and wife.

Remember the sappy father mentioned in the proposal story above? He escorted his daughter to the floor for a lovely dance.

An intimate moment captured by Francis.

The entire dance floor was filled with guests dancing in unison to “Jai Ho” from the movie Slumdog Millionaire like they were right out of the movie. Very impressive.
