Stefanie + Brian – Married at Valley Crest Farm and Preserve » NJ and NYC Lifestyle Family Photography by Meridith Desmond

Stefanie and Brian were married in a small, very intimate ceremony under a big old oak tree at Valley Crest Farm and Preserve. The setting couldn’t have been more beautiful for them to say their vows and become man and wife. After the ceremony more friends and family joined them to celebrate and toast the newlyweds at their outdoor tented reception on the farm grounds. We had the most beautiful light for their portraits around the farm, I couldn’t get enough. The beautiful lighting continued into early evening and dancing under the stars. I love how intimate and personable their day was and I thoroughly enjoyed capturing these moments for them. This may be one of my favorite weddings yet! Congratulations to you both!

Stefanie hand drew the logo on their invitations. I always seem to attract couples who are artists of some sort:)

She was absolutely stunning in her wedding gown with those pleats and the black sash was the perfect compliment to her hair.

I said to the guys during our portrait time that you can do any pose you want and this is what they gave me- haha- LOVE it!

Valley Crest Farm and Preserve is a stunning backdrop for wedding photos, I could shoot there every weekend! It didn’t hurt that the weather was a perfect sunny and 82 degrees either.

I had to incorporate Brian’s tattoos into their ring shot!

An emotional Mother Daughter dance- so sweet. Don’t they look so much alike?

Brian is a hunter and these beer cozies were the perfect touch to their outdoor reception.
