Molly and Brian had an awesome Perona Farms Refinery Summer wedding. Between thunderstorms and wildfire smoke, it’s been quite the start to summer, but it all worked out for Molly and Brian’s wedding day at Perona Farms. The Refinery is a newer space at Perona Farms with a rustic, industrial vibe and an awesome ceremony space with a beautiful wall of greenery and a retractable roof so the ceremony can have an outdoor vibe, rain or shine. Perona Farms has really put a lot into updating and adding spaces. It has become one of my favorite NJ venues to photograph at. I did have a chance to work with Molly and Brian this past fall during their Frenchtown Fall mini engagement session. You can check that out by clicking here.
Fire!
The Refinery at Perona Farms has a speakeasy type of suite for the couple to get ready in. With rooms right next to each other, but hidden behind a secret door! I spent a little bit of time with Brian and the guys as they got ready.
I love this.

Although the ground was quite wet from recent rainfall, we made it work!
I don’t typically put posed formal portraits on my blog, but every now and again I share one…

Although I didn’t stay for the entire reception, I was still able to catch some fun dancing pics!
I couldn’t decide on which fire pic to end with, so I’m ending with two of them! It was a great day with Molly, Brian, their friends and family celebrating their Perona Farms Refinery Summer wedding.
