We hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and got to stuff themselves silly with turkey and lots of yummilicious food with their family and friends. As for us here at HQ, it’s been a working staycation this past week with a non-stop shooting schedule that would finally mark the conclusion of our wedding season. We did manage to squeeze in a few bites of turkey in between a few of these weddings. And as expected, we now find ourselves swimming in wedding images waiting just dying to be processed. Through hell or high water, we’re gonna get these all out by the end of December!
We always love any opportunities to go out into the country for a country wedding. Fresh air, farm houses, barns, tractors and horses – what’s there not to love? We welcome these occasional breaks from a metropolitan-suburban life, and try to resist to urge to prance around the cornfields with a camera in hand and my fellow prancing couples in the other. But it goes without saying, this is hardly ever the case (boo).
But nevertheless, when Sandra and Drew told us they would be tying the knot at Perona Farms, we were absolutely thrilled. Prancing through fields notwithstanding, we knew we were going to have a blast.
The bride’s day started at their home in Colonia, NJ. The groom had sent her a self-authored book chronicling all their adventures, past, present and future.
They groom’s day started off in a hotel room, not far away. Like many of our grooms, just figuring out the buttons is a task unto itself :).
I will concur with these folks: the sermon was pretty funny.

On a slightly unrelated note, our leftover turkey didn’t last as long as we thought – which is pretty surprising because I remember there being a pretty big bird on our dining room table last Thursday. But nevertheless, this means I’ve got all of winter to get back in to beach shape for next year! Time to hit the asphalt!
Happy Monday ya’ll!
