[Wedding] Sonya & Godly – Luciens Manor in Berlin, NJ

“It doesn’t rain when I shoot anymore.” I reassured the bride that morning. It wasn’t something I could contractually guarantee, but the probability was certainly in her favor. While my first year of wedding photography experienced weather anomalies of biblical proportions, Mother Nature has been very kind to us since then. Either way, we were ready to create some awesome wedding photos in South Jersey for this lovely couple.

As the morning wore on, the overcast remained but the rain subsided (just as I suspected it would!). As it does with most things in life, everything always works out in the end :).
