The Rockleigh with Staci and Michael

The Rockleigh is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful ballrooms in Northern New Jersey.  I have been looking forward to Staci and Micheal’s wedding for some time and was not the least bit disappointing when the day came!  The two of them were so much fun to photograph during their engagement session so I knew it would be a cinch on the big day.

We started out at the Hilton at Woodcliff Lake and photographed their first look and formals at the Rockleigh.  I can’t say enough about this place.  Every room is decorated to perfect, the staff extraordinarily accommodating.

So I LOVE a good ritual.  Anytime I learn that I’m going to cover something new (to me), ancient and religious I can’t contain myself.  My excitement is not reserved for religious ceremonies.  ANY time honored custom will do!  I’ve photographed Jewish weddings before but in this case the Tisch, Bedeken and Mezinka were totally new to me.  When I saw how much thought and preparation Mike and Staci put into every aspect of their wedding, I was truly humbled and honored that they chose me to capture these special moments.  Couples often prefer vendors who have had previous experience with various aspects of their ceremony and in this case Staci and Mike trusted me enough to meet their expectations despite my inexperience.

Staci and Mike, thank you so much for having me capture your big day.  Enjoy!!
