When I arrived at bridal prep that morning for Jill & Mike’s wedding, I was greeted with two giant, metallic objects: a giant stainless steel flask, accompanied with a giant stainless steel cocktail shaker. “Think we can incorporate this somehow?” the bride asks me. Um…heck yeah! Although summer had not yet officially started, Mother Nature already had us feeling like it was already mid-July. Luckily for us, we did manage to find plenty of open shade, and their celebrations included some of the most wonderfully picturesque churches and wedding venues in Northern NJ that we’ve ever photographed: St. Teresa of Avila Church in Summit and the Stone House at Stirling Ridge. At the time of writing this post, we heard through the grapevine that today is the groom’s birthday! So if you guys know this handsome fella, send him some wonderful birthday wishes!
