The Grove NJ Wedding | Tara and Greg | Allie Skylar Photography

Tara and Greg, what can I say.  Everything about this wedding was magical!  I was lucky enough to tag along with my dear photographer friend, Elizabeth Mae Photography, and we traveled up to Northern NJ for our last 2 weddings of the year.  It’s pretty amazing working with someone the way we do; she assists me, I assist her.  We share a brain and a love for coffee.

Anyway, Tara and Greg were a perfect second to last wedding of the season.  Theirs was the first strictly night wedding I have been lucky enough to photograph, but since their wedding was at The Grove, we had no shortage of amazing indoor spots for photos.

Their lavish Huppah, adorned with delicate white flowers and hanging glass candles, was the perfect stage for Tara and Greg to exchange rings, vows, and the most romantic kiss.  And let me just tell you about their dancing…. Oh. My. goodness.  NEVER have a seen a group of people who knew how to dance with such celebration!  It was quite dangerous at times.

I am so happy to have been able to share in this beautiful New Jersey Wedding.  It is certainly not one I will forget! Continue reading “The Grove NJ Wedding | Tara and Greg | Allie Skylar Photography”

2015 | A year in review | Behind the scenes

*cue squeal*

THIS IS MY FAVORITE POST OF THE YEAR!!! I always love looking through files after each wedding and seeing the behind the scenes shots.  When a wedding is complete, everything looks prim and polished.  No one really sees the throwaways- all the photos where the photographers are photo bombing, or where a certain pregnant belly got in the way 🙂  Well, in honor of my end of the year tradition, here is the behind the scenes reel from 2015!

  1. This arm is not mine- but it’s a special one!  It’s the right hand of my right hand lady.  This marks 3 years shooting weddings with Danielle, and honestly, I can’t imagine NOT shooting weddings with her.  I hope that day is very very far away.
