Just another catch-up post to try to bring this blog up to date. There was one more special event that took place directly after Superstorm Sandy decided to come and mess everything up.

Sandy took a great many things from the shore – inclusive of Michelle and Tim’s wedding venue. They decided to get married anyhow, in a dark chapel the Saturday after the storm. With the area still largely without power, the ‘congregation’ (aka: us) sang the wedding march as the pair walked down the aisle. Afterward, the party headed down to Spring Oak Country Club to celebrate.

Sandy: you may have taken electricity, the boardwalk, and essentially the entire eastern seaboard – but you can’t have love!

That was corny.

Prior to being a photographer, I felt like I never really got to go to weddings. It’s quite amazing that now I get to share in the joy of people that I’ve just met and be part of their special days. It is even more amazing when said special day is the evening before a superstorm is priming to hurl itself into the coast.

 

All morning long we observed the weather. There were road closures, evacuations, and a million other terrible things going on. The weather was deteriorating quickly, and everyone was buying gas and anticipating what we were told were going to be weeks without power. While I was anxious and scared of getting trapped someplace that wasn’t home – I knew we had to go shoot this wedding! So out we went, to brave the wind and rain, to Spring Lake, NJ. I couldn’t have been happier that we did.

 

 

To say that the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and full of love was an understatement. Whispers Restaurant in Spring Lake is small, quaint, and lovely. The couple was absolutely beaming, and it was such a comfort to see true love prevail against even the worst storms. Making the best of what we had – we had to forgo all the sweeping landscape photos we originally had planned. Landscapes or not – it was clearly evident that this couple was just happy to be married – all circumstances aside. It was an honor to attend!
