Gabi and John’s The Somerset Palace Wedding<\/h1>\n

December winter weddings have a certain allure to them. First of, being in New Jersey you don’t know if it’s going to be 60 degrees, 20 degrees, sunny or snowing. Gabi and John’s engagement session was taken in 30-degree weather, so they’re no stranger to taking photos in the cold. For Gabi and John’s The Somerset Palace wedding, we got snow! As a photographer, shooting in the snow is a welcomed challenge. You have to work fast, smart and efficiently while remaining creative.<\/p>\n

The Somerset Palace<\/a> is located about ten miles west of New York City<\/a>. With it’s grand open space, columns and grandiose atmosphere, it’s no wonder it’s New Jersey’s ninth-highest<\/a> ranked wedding venue.<\/p>\n

Getting Ready<\/h3>\n

While Gabi and her girls drank mimosas, \u00a0John and his guys drank beer. While Gabi and her girls ran around getting make up, hair and taking selfies, John and his boys drank beer. While Gabi and her girls ooh and ahh’d as Gabi walked down the stairs, John and his boys…drank beer.<\/p>\n

Looking for a spot for bride portraits is one of my main priorities when I walk into bride prep. I love using shadows and textures in my photos, and using window light helps me achieve this look. Luckily for me, Gabi’s parent’s house has a gorgeous space in their bedroom that allowed me to control the window light coming into the room. This allowed me to create cool portraits for Gabi.<\/p>\n

Once everyone was done, we made our way to the church.<\/p>\n
