The calm before the storm!  Literally!

Chris and Ali are a super cute couple.  Ali had an amazing vision for their rustic wedding.  There was minimal color (which I liked) and everything was really fun to photograph.  Their wedding was held at the Smithville Inn, in NJ.  There they had amazing musicians play, Bob Campanell and his band.

Our day started off at Ali’s grandmother’s house in Hammonton, NJ.  Ali grew up here and because this place means so much to her, this was where we started.

Below are images from their wedding…

Meet Chris, the groom aka Roy Halladay look alike.  The night before the wedding, Chris had a little wedding prep accident which, resulted in an emergency visit to the ER and stitches.  Really, it’s just another reminder of how spectacular the day was =0)
