Laura + Sean | DoubleTree Hotel Meadowlands Wedding Photos

You may remember Laura and Sean from their fun engagement session.  They were married at St. Benedict the Abbot church in McMurray and had their reception at the DoubleTree Inn Meadowlands. They are the sweetest couple and were so excited to marry each other, and you can see that in every one of their photos.  I was so lucky to have the perfect combination of a gorgeous couple, a beautiful day, a really fun bridal party, and plenty of time.  I had an absolute blast and I’m so excited to share their wedding day with you.  Here are just a few of my favorites…

Laura and the girls did a great job picking out their dresses.  The splash of coral really brightened up the photos…DSC 3095 thumb(pp w768 h511) - Laura + Sean | DoubleTree Hotel Meadowlands Wedding Photos

Afternoon light really adds that “special something” to photos.  I suppose having a good-looking couple doesn’t hurt either :)

I was pleasantly surprised at how many great little location gems there were at the church, and took full advantage of their courtyard…composite2 thumb(pp w768 h576) - Laura + Sean | DoubleTree Hotel Meadowlands Wedding Photos

I absolutely love when there are unique and fun little details.  In addition to a guestbook, Laura and Sean had their guests put their fingerprints on a hand-drawn poster of a tree and sign their names.  What a cool idea!composite15 thumb(pp w768 h383) - Laura + Sean | DoubleTree Hotel Meadowlands Wedding Photos

A few more of my favorite details…composite16 thumb(pp w768 h625) - Laura + Sean | DoubleTree Hotel Meadowlands Wedding Photos

The bridal party came prepared with enough “Groucho Marx” disguise glasses for the whole party, and surprised the bride & groom with them as soon as they were introduced.  Laura and Sean didn’t mind at all and joined right in.  I think this look really works for them :)

Sneaking the bride and groom out for a few last portraits is one of my favorite parts of the day.  I love hearing from them how perfect their day has been and how much fun they’re having, and love being able to capture a few last moments of just them.  Plus I get to play with crazy lighting which is also fun :)DSC 4356 Edit thumb(pp w768 h511) - Laura + Sean | DoubleTree Hotel Meadowlands Wedding Photos
