Melissa and Bart were married at Maritime Parc in Jersey City, NJ- not too far from where they live. We were able to take a limo ride around Liberty State Park for some photos before the ceremony with Bart’s 2 children. It was a beautiful and emotional day celebrated with close family and friends. Guests traveled from all over the country to celebrate and dance the night away with them. Maritime Parc is a beautiful modern venue with amazing natural light for their ceremony! Melissa and Bart thank you for letting me capture your love and joy for each other. It was truly a pleasure. Hoping you had a wonderful honeymoon, enjoy the photos!
I’m excited to have their wedding featured on Modernly Wed! Check out the full publication here.





I loved this one from Nadya my second shooter- plus she helped with all the detail shots! Thanks again:)






Melissa- you are beautiful!







I loved this shot of Bart’s Dad:

I LOVE the 135mm 2.0- it’s a must buy and next on my list- look at the crispness! Love it!


Melissa’s Dad looking on:


Melissa and Bart collect coffee cups and these were their gifts to the guests- how fun! I love when couples integrate things they love into their wedding day.

Mr. & Mrs. – Everyone was cheering them on here:



Is Bart having fun here or what? Love this shot:

We were able to get some amazing shots at sunset with the NYC skyline in the background- just beautiful!

Beautiful Meridith! You really captured the emotion of the day. I love the one of the groom’s dad 🙂
wonderful work Meridith! And beautiful couple! Love the bride’s constant smile.
Loved the photos. You really captured the love between the couple, the family, and the joy of the day. I really loved the ones of Melissa and Bart great smiles and laughing together!
The pictures are beautiful! I love the ones of all 4 of you…cant wait to see the rest!
The pics really capture how happy you bother were and how much fun we were having! I love the one of Bart kissing Missy’s hand in black and white on the deck!
Fabulous, Meredith. Many favorites here, but I especially love the one of the four of them laughing and walking outdoors and Bart and Melissa laughing on the deck against the backdrop of Manhattan.
The pictures have a lot of originality considering a time old tradition. Especially loved the ones of the 4 of you in black and white looking over your shoulders. The first dance says it all – just look at those expressions!! Melissa and Bart walking away together holding hands is a real favorite! All the pictures were wonderful and the photographer captured the feelings of this very special occasion!!!
The pictures were beautiful as were the subjects. Loved the black and whites and candids.
Great pictures! I loved their urban feel, just right for a New Jersey/New York wedding. And they really captured the emotions of the day, how much everyone enjoyed it! Alice
I had tears in my eyes after looking at these pictures. I wasn’t there, but these pictures made me feel like I was, they’re so moving. You really captured the joy, and Melissa looked just radiant. I also loved the fun, family group photos. Well done.
Love Maritime Parc and all the view shots… really great photos, Meridith! Seemed like a lovely night!
LOVE these shots Meridith. Great work! Love the emotion!
Fabulous job! I particularly love the ring and flowers details. 🙂
