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)
