The Wedding of Karli & Chris

In the intricate tapestry of wedding memories, some threads stand out more vividly than others. As a photographer, it was my joy to be on a journey to capture a wedding that revolved around a single, powerful word – Family. A question I often ask is, "When you look back and think of your wedding day, what do you want to see in the photos?" Without hesitation, Karli and Chris responded with a resounding and heartfelt, "Family!" This statement was evident from the preparation of the bride and groom until the last farewells at the night’s end. Family had a part in every cherished moment in celebrating the love of Karli and Chris uniting in marriage…

The day began with that simple yet profound question which continued to echo through the lens of my camera…

Nestled amidst nature's embrace, the ceremony took place among the serene backdrop of the Sayen House and Gardens in Hamilton, New Jersey, for a day woven with love and kinship. In the very air, one could sense an unspoken unity as generations came together to celebrate the marriage of Karli and Chris. The couple's union wasn't just a union of hearts, but a blending of two families' histories. A rich tapestry, interwoven with personal touches, creating a tableau of shared values…

As my shutter clicked, it caught more than just moments; it captured emotions frozen in time. From the tears in her father's eyes, to the laughter shared between siblings, each frame was a testament to the deep-rooted bonds of family…

The reception was a symphony of joy, echoing through generations. From the energetic steps of the young to the wise words of the elderly, the dance floor became a stage where love transcended age. The couple's wedding was a reminder that the love of family is both timeless and ever-present…

In the grand tapestry of life, this family-centered wedding is a patchwork of love, unity, and cherished moments. Every photograph encapsulates not only a single instance frozen in time but the very essence of what makes us human – our families. As the couple had wished, the photos from their wedding radiate a warmth that can only be born from the love of family.

Thank you, Karli and Chris, for letting me be a part of your family on your wedding day!
