David & Danny’s Wedding at The Manor, West Orange, NJ

Same sex marriage is now legal in New York – many congrats to the gay & lesbian community!  Before the law passed though, we had actually already photographed a few lesbian and gay weddings.   David & Danny was our most recent happy couple.

And what a memorable couple they are.  Not only are they unbelievably handsome, they’re 2 of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.

Of course, this wonderful couple would also have a fun wedding party to match.  We know this wedding party better than most since we also photographed the weddings of 2 of the people in the pictures below.  You know what they say – birds of a feather flock together and this is certainly true here since all 3 couples have been so great.

Danny & David’s ceremony was one of the most touching we’ve seen.  Beautiful and with straight-from-the-heart vows that caused a lot of tears to fall.

Their wedding reception at the Manor in New Jersey started off with a bang.  David used to be a choreographer, so their first dance was full of eye-popping moves.

The couple’s friends & family were also not shy about using the dance floor.  We did “dancing group portraits” with them so that they could get a few posed shots with their friends in a fun way.

Some lovely toasts to honor and to entertain…

…and then back to more flipping, jumping and floor-thumping dancing.  The Manor actually raised the room’s chandelier to accommodate the rockin’ party!

Many congrats again to David & Danny.  Here’s to a lifetime of loving & laughing! See you in September at Danny’s nephew’s wedding (and many thanks for recommending us)!

Brother-and-Sister Moment Wins an Award

We are excited to announce that another one of our images won an award from the prestigious Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (AGWPJA).  The winning image was taken at a recent wedding of a gay couple, David & Danny.  Both grooms were great dancers. One of them used to be a professional dancer and choreographer.  The reception hall, The Manor in West Orange, NJ, had to raise the big chandelier in the room to prevent people from hitting it when they were flipped into the air by David & Danny!  We will be posting more bout this wedding later, but for now we wanted to share the photo that won an award.  It’s a shot of David and his sister having a blast dancing with each other. We like how the photo captures their special brother-and-sister bond.
