Maryanne and Harry’s Unforgettable Wedding at Cecil Creek Farm

When Maryanne and Harry first reached out to me about capturing their wedding day, I had no idea how small the world could be. Out of curiosity, I looked them up on Facebook, and guess what? Harry was part of a local Dodge car club that my cousin happened to be a member of. Not just any member—my cousin and Harry were practically best friends! During our consultation, I casually mentioned the connection, and Harry was floored. It felt like fate, and I couldn’t wait to document their special day.

Getting Ready: Two Locations, One Goal

The morning of the wedding began with me photographing Maryanne at her home. The room buzzed with excitement as her mom helped her get dressed, and her mom adjusted her dress with tears in her eyes. Meanwhile, my second photographer was with Harry at a nearby hotel, where he and his dad shared laughs while suiting up. Harry, known for his easygoing personality, was visibly nervous—but in the sweetest way.

Once they were both ready, we headed to the breathtaking Cecil Creek Farm.

The First Look: A Moment to Remember

Maryanne and Harry chose to share a first look in front of Cecil Creek Farm’s charming market, and it was everything. They chose to both stand with their backs to each other, and turn around simultaneously. They both turned around, and the moment Harry saw her, his eyes welled up. Maryanne wasn’t far behind with her own happy tears. Even as someone who sees these moments often, this one hit me hard. It was pure, unfiltered emotion.

After the first look, we explored the farm’s grounds for portraits. Cecil Creek Farm is truly a dream for a New Jersey wedding photographer—from its lush flower-filled fields to its stunning open vistas, every corner is picture-perfect. Maryanne and Harry were naturals in front of the camera, their love shining in every shot.

The Ceremony: Short, Sweet, and Magical

The ceremony took place in Cecil Creek Farm’s enchanting greenhouse. With its warm light filtering through the glass and surrounded by greenery, it felt intimate and magical. Maryanne and Harry exchanged heartfelt vows in a short and sweet ceremony, cheered on by family and friends.

A Celebration to Remember

Cocktail hour was a hit, featuring an incredible spread of food that left guests raving. The reception was equally memorable, with a packed dance floor from start to finish. Even my cousin made an appearance, tearing it up alongside Harry and the rest of the crew. The love and joy in the room were infectious—it was one of those weddings where you couldn’t help but smile all night.
