Colonial Park Gardens & Pithari Taverna Intimate NJ Wedding | Annette & Fred

Annette and Fred had a fantastic Colonial Park Gardens intimate NJ wedding ceremony followed by a Pithari Taverna reception in Highland Park. They were greeted with a sky full of sunshine and close family and friends who were happy to see them celebrate their love. Their officiant, Annette’s nephew, happens to be one of my good friends. He also officiated the most intimate wedding ceremony that I have ever photographed last year at my house on the same date– you can check that out by clicking here. When I first spoke with Annette and Fred, I felt like we were old friends! Such lovely people and I’m honored to have been able to capture their wedding day for them.

Annette and Fred are full of energy and smiles for one another…here, a more quiet moment…

Love all the joy!

I loved both of their looks… classic and elegant…

Annette and Fred had an intimate wedding ceremony in Colonial Park Gardens…

It was so nice for Annette to have her nephew, Mike, officiate their wedding ceremony and great to be working with him again ..

The rings!

I love this little moment after the kiss…

The marriage license is always filled out in the most random places and quite unceremoniously…

Guests traveled to the amazing Pithari Taverna in Highland Park for the reception (Annette and Fred welcomed me to enjoy the meal with them and omg, the fried goat cheese!). Another signing of the marriage license moment…

Mike explains the rules for signing the marriage license to his cousin, Annette’s daughter…

I love this image because it is an intersection of three conversations…

Selfies! If you can’t tell by all of the huge smiles in these photos, Annette and Fred’s Colonial Park Gardens and Pithari Taverna intimate New Jersey wedding was a hit! Not only were Annette and Fred beaming, but their friends and family were as well. It was such a pleasure working with Annette and Fred and working with Mike as an officiant once again.
