As I’d mentioned in a previous post, Patrice and Josh’s wedding day started off without a hitch. While Patrice was getting her hair and make-up done, Josh and his groomsmen were still in recovery mode from a festive rehearsal dinner just the night before. Understandably, that morning would be a serene affair, albeit a light-hearted one. We were just getting started; part two of their celebrations would take place later that evening at The Manor in West Orange, NJ!

Patrice and Josh, thank you so much for inviting us to document this beautiful milestone of your journey together towards happily ever after. It only seems like yesterday when we first met on Superbowl Sunday at a Marilyn Monroe-themed diner and talking about your wedding plans :). We wish the both of you many years of love and laughter, and we look forward to seeing you guys again soon!
