Loren & Tom's Wedding at the Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, NJ

Loren and Tom’s Wedding at the Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, NJ was so wonderful to be a part of! Wayyy up in the mountains, our ears popped while driving up to this gorgeous venue! This venue had such beauty at every corner, we had so much fun exploring the many photograph locations and taking in all the mountainside charm the resort had to offer. Earlier this year we photographed Loren and Tom’s woodsy engagement session at Allaire State Park and now the time had finally come to photograph their wedding!!!

It was a gorgeous day on December 7th. The cold air did not compete with the love Loren and Tom have for one another. The way these two look at each other, just gives us goosebumps! They are so cute! Loren and her VIPs got ready together while gushing over the special day. As we arrived to bride prep Loren’s bridal party was getting their hair and makeup done. Elina Howe and Catherine Schork both did wonderful jobs on everyones hair and makeup. Loren went with an elegant look that involved romantic wavy ends to her gorgeous brunette hair. She looked beautiful!

With Loren in her stunning Allure Madison James satin wedding gown, she stepped out into the garden and literally started to sparkle. The sun was catching all of the gorgeous glittery beadwork on the bodice of her dress and Loren was glowing!! About to see her man she took a deep breath and smiled, it was time for the first look… Loren stopped as the sun hit her perfectly. She then called out to Tom to turn around. Tom turned around to see his beautiful wife to be and he could not stop smiling. The two shared a few kisses and could not wait to be married! We grabbed a couple portraits of the loren and Tom while the sun flared through the trees and just kissed the tops of their heads. Even though cold, it was OH SO pretty out on the mountainside!

Jacquelines Florist did a gorgeous job with all of the wintery white bouquets, boutonnières, and floral details in the ceremony and reception spaces. The ceremony space was lit with lanterns and candles. Romance filled the room as the sunset glowed in through the floor to ceiling windows. Their ceremony was full of love, cheers, and happiness. “You may kiss the bride!”… Loren and Tom had their first kiss as husband and wife, and now it was time to party all night!! Chris Marino of Limelight Entertainment pumped up the crowd. The dance floor was packed and everyone was out of their seats! Music played as Loren, Tom, and their loved ones danced the night away in celebration of them!

(side note: as I photographed their reception my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Everyone was having so much fun, I couldn’t stop smiling)

Congratulations Loren and Tom on your marriage!!! Thank you for having Limelight Entertainment be a part of your special day. It was an honor and we had so much fun celebrating your love alongside of you.
