Stephanie and James celebrated their Hamilton Manor New Jersey wedding with the typical New Jersey Spring weather changes that can happen all in one day…. drizzle, sunshine, clouds, a chill in the air, warmth… It all worked out beautifully though! I hadn’t been to the Hamilton Manor in over a decade and they’ve done such a great job with their upgrades since I had last photographed a wedding there. I did a slightly abbreviated coverage for Stephanie and James, starting with Stephanie getting into her dress and staying for just part of the reception. In this last year, I’ve definitely have experienced people really customizing the amount of coverage they get and I think it is a wonderful thing to let go of industry pressure and cover what you want. I’m always happy to help couples figure out what coverage is best for them…
