megan & mark | bear brook valley | wedding

when megan first reached out to me about her bear brook valley wedding we chatted on the phone for a long time and i knew we would get along well! the deal was sealed for me when we met up and my daughter wanted to sit in her lap and they became fast friends. megan and mark even came back to my house to do their fall engagement session.Bear-Brook-Valley-NJ-Weddingbear brook valley wedding bridal prepbear brook valley nj wedding dressBear Brook Valley NJ Wedding bridal prep

the guys have it a bit easier the day of the wedding…

mark has a great smile, but i liked this not-quite-serious/not-quite-smiling portrait of him. there’s a little mystique to it…

as megan headed down for her first look with mark, her veil was getting caught. she takes a minute to get ‘unstuck’ while mark waits…Bear-Brook-Valley-NJ-Wedding

although it was raining all morning, the rain cleared up in time for pictures and the wedding ceremony…Bear Brook Valley New Jersey Wedding
