This isn’t Steph and Adam’s first rodeo with a New Jersey backyard wedding. Last year, they held an intimate wedding ceremony as they postponed their plans for a bigger event in their NJ backyard until this year. You can check out last year’s intimate Montclair backyard wedding by clicking here. Steph and Adam’s New Jersey backyard wedding was also my third opportunity to photograph them with my first being back in 2019 for their engagement session which you can check out by clicking here. Another beautiful Fall day in the books…
Steph and Adam both got ready in their house. Adam was running a lot of logistics while Steph had her hair and makeup done…
A toast with sandwiches…
Sometimes wedding dresses are tricky…
Adam gets a little help from his brothers and dad…
We strolled down their street to take some portraits…
You never know what beauty exists just a little stroll down the road until you slow down and take it all in…
Love the adoration Adam has for the important women in his life…
Instead of a typical wedding ceremony, Steph and Adam had some toasts and read some celebratory vows (having been married for over a year now) and sang their duet live for their guests…
A few words after a year of marriage…
Although guests got to enjoy their duet via Zoom last year, they were treated to a live version this year…
Aside from the very tip of Adam’s toe, these two got air during their first dance!
Steph prepares for the horah…
The horah is one of my favorite wedding events. It is fun, chaotic, messy and spirited and that is the kind stuff I like to photograph!
I love backyard weddings. I think more people in New Jersey should have them so I can photograph more of them. They are so chill and such a blast. This crowd partied from start to finish…
Love this moment of Adam and his grandmother. You can see how much she adores him back…
Every time I scrolled past this image as I was editing, I would do a double take… wondering if you did too?
Grandma on the mic!
Adam wrote and performed a song for Steph at their NJ backyard wedding…
I think it is pretty obvious that Steph and Adam’s NJ backyard wedding was a blast! They were happy to celebrate at their own home once again with their friends and family and it was a fantastic day. Thanks to Brandan Calhoun for assisting me.
