My last wedding of 2008 … Dec 27 … but that wasn’t why I really looked forward to Amanda and Mark’s wedding.  With prior photo shoots, Amanda and Mark and I connected and had a great time, so I was expecting the same on their wedding date.  The photos here will show exactly that. : )

From earlier on in the day just after Amanda’s prep .. looking absolutely gorgeous.

The image above was taken by my friend Josh Lynn, who helped me out on the day.

Because of the icy weather here in late Dec, we did all portraits and group photographs inside at the venue.  Fortunately The Grand Summit Hotel (NJ) has an elegant historic feel, which works well as a backdrop for the group photos and portraits.  Of course it also helps that the bridal party was an energetic fun bunch to work with!

Mark, unstoppable during the final few songs of the evening ..

Amanda and Mark, it was such a pleasure being your photographer at your wedding!
