[Wedding] Negar & Jason – Liberty House in Jersey City, NJ

When we arrived at Negar and Jason’s hotel in Jersey City that morning, we knew it was going to be an awesome day. The weather was mild, with a few clouds crawling slowly across the late summer sky. As I moved between the bride and groom’s rooms, I found it hilarious that they were both watching the same program while getting ready: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off…with a side of Chinese food to boot. What better way to kick off a celebration of happily ever? It was appropriate, to say the least. After all, these two were playing hooky while the residents of San Francisco were wondering where the two most awesome chiropractors in the world were hiding :).

Whoever thought of putting a giant grassy field (and the Manhattan skyline) behind a wedding venue is genius, I tell you :).
