Larissa and Doug were married in a traditional Russian Orthodox wedding ceremony in the beautiful golden interior of\u00a0St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral<\/a>\u00a0in Howell NJ. \u00a0The cathedral truly is a work of art. \u00a0They had the perfect blend of traditional and non-traditional elements and details which makes their wedding unique and perfectly suited to them! \u00a0I loved the little pops of color in the bouquets and plaid bow ties for the guys, not to mention Larissa’s blue shoes:) \u00a0Larissa and Doug, it was an honor to document your love for each other and I am wishing you many years of happiness together!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think the guys had some fun with my second shooter Nadya, what do you think?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I loved the plaid bow ties for the groom and his men!<\/p>\n

\"Plaid\"\"\"pink\"\"<\/p>\n

Larissa’s something blue: royal blue shoes. \u00a0I love colorful shoes on a bride- I \u00a0had plum ones:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Larissa is just a stunning bride in her ivory ruched organza gown!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Russian Orthodox Ceremony was\u00a0rich in style, color and symbolism, with so many meaningful traditions. \u00a0Larissa grew up going to this church and it was just gorgeous inside!<\/p>\n

\"Bride\"St.\"Russian<\/p>\n

The entire bridal party headed over to Pier Village in Long Branch for some photos on the beach and boardwalk. \u00a0We had perfectly blue skies to compliment the girls navy summer dresses, pink peony bouquets and the guys grey suits. \u00a0Grey suits are my new favorite for the groomsmen- I think every guys looks good in a grey suit!<\/p>\n

\"Pier\"dyed<\/p>\n

All I can think of when looking at this next image is the song, Under the Boardwalk<\/a>. \u00a0Which reminds me of summertime:) \u00a0I do also LOVE the graphic lines of the posts.<\/p>\n

\"pier\"\"<\/p>\n

Larissa’s mother\u00a0offered the newlyweds bread and salt as a symbol of health, prosperity and long life.<\/p>\n

\"Channel\"\"<\/p>\n

Their parents look on as they newlyweds dance their first dance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Channel Club in Monmouth Beach has such a gorgeous marina that we used as the background for some sunset photos. \u00a0I stole them out of the reception and I so think it was worth it for these images we captured below:<\/p>\n

\"\"\"Channel\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

I think it was one of the most gorgeous sunsets I have ever had on a wedding day!<\/p>\n
