Chelsey and Rich’s Addison Park wedding was filled with TOO MUCH PRETTINESS TO HANDLE!  The day began at Chelsey and Rich’s home on the water in Toms River.  The sun sparkled off the gentle waves as Chelsey and her bridesmaids chatted in the kitchen while getting their hair and make-up done.  Chelsey was relaxed and happy, her pure joy contagious to everyone in the room!  Her best friend, Nicole, helped her slip into her gorgeous Vera Wang gown and her father oohed, awed, and took selfies of his beautiful daughter during their first look.  It was incredibly sweet and started the day off just right!

Anticipation and excitement was building in Rich at the thought of seeing his gorgeous bride.  The tears began brimming as she made her way down the long ivy covered tunnel toward him and spilled over as these two shared in one of the sweetest and most emotional first looks I have ever had the honor of capturing!  It is obvious how much Rich loves and adores Chelsey and how perfect they really are for one another!  Their family and friends must have felt the same way as happy tears and cheers ensued during their gorgeous outdoor ceremony.  After they were pronounced husband and wife, a shower of petals fell over Chelsey and Rich!  They made their way down the aisle with huge smiles on their faces, excited to start their journey together.

Chelsey and Rich’s reception was nothing short of perfection with Chelsey’s favorite sparkling pink moscato, a step and repeat photo booth, and a surprise bobble head cake-topper for Rich! One of my favorite moments of the day was Chelsey’s brother’s surprise arrival at the reception! He is a part of the Coast Guard in North Carolina, and received clearance to attend the wedding that morning. He drove all the way up to NJ to be part of this incredible celebration! Chelsey’s reaction was priceless!  After enjoying a delicious Vietnamese hour with crepes, cotton candy, and hand rolled cigars, Chelsey and Rich danced the night away!  Thank you both for giving me the opportunity to photograph your beautiful Addison Park wedding and to Mekina Saylor for helping me capture it!
