The Grove Wedding of Meryam and Michael

Meryam and Michael came in to meet with us along with their friends Monica and Mark. They were planning Coptic Weddings, which is Egyptian Orthodox Christian weddings, and both getting married at St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church in East Brunswick NJ. We had done a coptic wedding there a few years earlier, so we had some experience at that church, and I was able to share a sample.

Meryam and Michael were going to see each other before hand at a Park in New Brusnwick for some great couple and bridal party shots, but first I started with Meryam and her girls, while Dave was with Michael and the guys. Her mom was so sweet, and Meryam definitely inherited that. She’s a sweetheart, and was smiling throughout the whole makeup process. The guys were just hanging out, and Michael talked about how he knew everyone, and his love for Meryam.

Then we met up for some wedding party shots at Boyd Park on Rt 18 in New Brunswick, before heading over to St. Mary’s for the Coptic ceremony. Michael was worried about his resting face being a little serious, but we got some great shots of the 2 of them along with all the guests through the ceremony.

After the ceremony we headed over to The Grove for an awesome reception. The cocktail hour at this place is insane, and the couple peaked out from their balcony for a moment to some cheering. Then the party started with some fun introductions, and a beautiful first dance and parent dances. After toasts the rest of the night was just partying. We did a Same Day Highlights just as we did for Monica and Mark, which came out pretty awesome. Your personal Soundtrack is going to make the big difference in how things feel, so it’s important to choose a great song. It was a beautiful day for a sweet couple.

The Westmount Country Club Wedding of Monica and Mark

Monica and Mark came in to meet with us along with their friends Meryam and Michael. They were planning Coptic Weddings, which is Egyptian Orthodox Christian weddings, and both getting married at St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church in East Brunswick NJ. We had done a coptic wedding there a few years earlier, so we had some experience at that church. I remember a lot of chanting, and also having to remove our shoes to go behind the alter for some beautiful shots of them throughout the ceremony.

Monica and Mark were going to see each other before hand at Princeton University for some great couple and bridal party shots, but first I started with Monica and her girls, while Dave was with Mark and the guys. I loved seeing her dad writing a speech, which we unfortunately never heard, but he was deep in thought about his daughter. The girls were having fun getting made up, and the hair was serious business. The guys were pretty much partying from the morning, with a little living room dancing, and having fun before getting dressed.

Then we met up at Princeton for some wedding party shots, before heading over to St. Mary’s for the Coptic ceremony. It’s a long ceremony, but that gives us plenty of opportunity to move around to get some guests, some of the chorus, some of the bridal party, etc, plus of course the bride and groom during their most important moments. They don’t say anything for the ceremony, but receive several blessings, and wear special garments and crowns to be married.

After the ceremony it was off to the Westmount Country club where we received a royal greeting by Trumpeters. The cocktail hour at this place is fantastic, and I do love the modern lobby and the rooms, which they update pretty regularly. They were announced into the reception by the Trumpeters, and then had a choreographed dance with the Bridal Party. After some sweet toasts the rest of the night was dance dance dance, but also they did have a caricature artist there drawing fun photos of guests, plus the couple at the end of the night. It was an amazing day for a very happy couple!
