lauren and i first met jenn + erik in a small coffee shop right off the beach in long beach island called cafe bacio. after meeting with them for those few short hours we left feeling like we just made two new best friends and we were blown away by their awesomeness. their wedding day couldn’t have come quick enough for us, it seemed like an eternity to finally get the chance to hang with them again. needless to say, it was well worth the wait and their wedding day was a huge success. the beautiful wedding ceremony was held at the saint catharine of siena church in seaside park just a fews blocks down from erik’s mom’s house overlooking the bay. the festivities continued at the eagle ridge golf club for dinner and dancing. the golf course was really amazing, i will have to make a mental note to tell my dad about this place. (: thanks again jenn + erik for allowing us to photograph your wedding day & hang with your wonderful family and friends, we loved every minute of it!! now go start having babies so we can have play dates together.. (: enjoy.

sometimes when photographing kids it helps if you let them take a few pictures of you first acting silly – then they are more likely to cooperate with you when you want to snag a picture of them. but be careful, because kids can get addicted to working a big professional camera and may be by your side all night asking to take pictures. luckily for us, this beautiful flower girl was so sweet that we didn’t mind goofing off with her all day. the below photo captures lauren’s expression after being asked to “get silly with it” by 5 year old sarah.
