At the top of the main staircase in my childhood home, there is a framed photograph from my parents' wedding day. I always admired the image and the way it captured the magic of their wedding day. Growing up around the corner from Perona Farms, their wedding venue, I always dreamed of attending a wedding there myself.

So, when it came time to assist Nina Sheffield Photography at Perona Farms to celebrate Jackie & Brandon's nuptials, I was overjoyed.

J & B's Perona Farms Wedding

Andover, New Jersey

The afternoon was filled with love & laughter.
It began with a pop of champagne but went on to include quieter, private moments between Jackie, her mom, and her sisters.

Jackie's wedding dress was absolutley stunning. It was the epitome of the saying, "a moment for the back of the dress".

Perona Farms was the perfect venue for the couple. We went to a private pond across the street for a hidden, intimate first look.
Later, we played around under the willow tree - a main feature of the property. The wooden swing below makes it an ideal setting for fun, playful photos, whether with a bridal party or the happy couple.

The late summer evening ended with a few special dances: a mother-son dance, a father-daughter dance, and a first dance between the married couple. After heartfelt speeches, the party continued on the dance floor
