Denise and Josh were only engaged for a few short, yet exciting, months.  Not wanting to wait a full year to become husband and wife they dove into the wedding planning with full force and planned their entire day in 5 months.  Denise and Josh were married at the Madison Hotel on the day hurricane Irene hit us here in NJ.  Despite the bad weather outside, everything inside was as beautiful as could be.  Not wanting to wait one more day, they proclaimed their love for each other in front of friends and famliy.  It was a joyous celebration for all.

It started with some relaxing and fun girl time in Denise’s suite where she got ready before the ceremony.  Her dress was gorgeous and I loved the flower detail around the waist.

At the bachelorette party all the girls made these hand blown glass ornaments- such a fun idea!  I want to try this myself some day.

Denise looked gorgeous in her dress- stunning!

A glass of champagne and a toast to start off an evening full of love and celebration.

 

I really liked how the bridal party shots came out in the lobby at the Madison Hotel:

LOVE this next one too:

This is actually outside in an enclosed courtyard area- hurricane?  What hurricane?

Cheers to you both as you relax and enjoy your selves in the warm sun of French Polynesia.  I’m not going to lie, I’m really jealous of your honeymoon.  Have fun, congratulations again and thank you for letting me document your day!
