Alli & Colin …
The setting for Alli and Colin’s wedding on Saturday (Oct 7th), was the rustic Walpack Inn, in a beautiful wooded part of a national park in New Jersey. With the Fall colours starting to show, it was a perfect setting for the outdoor ceremony …
.
The musical accompaniment was a match …
.
The entire day had this relaxed congenial atmosphere as friends and family mixed. But here’s the contradiction - as laid-back as Alli and Colin seem, Alli especially is a non-stop ball of energy … and I can just hope my photos of the day show some of this.
Alli and Colin - thank you. Meeting and working with the two of you has been a memorable experience.

Hey Neil ! I love the pictures - and yes they sure do reflect the joy and energy you write of ! from the photo selection you’ve included here I love how your photography captures everything from the scene setting ceremony shots to the very artistic last two shots.

Oh Neil, I can’t thank you enough for capturing the joy that was the day. It was like a friend of the family taking loving pictures. You made the photo shoots actually fun and it shows in your work. Beautiful job!!! Anita (Colin’s mom)

recommend you to my daughter when she marries.
