Timeless Winter elegance at the Pendry Natirar
Megan and Will’s wedding at the Pendry Natirar was all about timeless black tie elegance and subtle holiday touches, setting the mood for their festive season wedding.
Preparing for a Photo Plan B
The weather was rainy, but nothing could dampen the couple’s spirit! Natirar is special to Megan’s family, and we took advantage of the many gorgeous rooms in the mansion to sneak away for portraits.
On a walk through of Natirar before the wedding I had a chance to plan locations for Megan and her dad’s reveal, and the perfect spot for Megan and Will’s first look. When we needed a rain plan, we were ready! (For more of my time-tested rainy wedding day advice, read this.)
Honoring Family & Tradition
The ceremony at Christ the King in New Vernon, NJ honored the couple, their family and their faith. It always feels special to photograph ceremonies in this beautiful sanctuary. Its bright, crisp whites and blues photograph so well, and it was a treat to see it dressed up for Christmas.
time to celebrate
After a ribbon wand send off, it was back to Natirar to celebrate! Megan and Will took a quick duck through a traditional Naval sword arch, and it was onto cocktail hour.
Megan and Will’s elegant event was capped off by heart-felt toasts and lots of dancing. I loved capturing the fun with my Holga film camera, which always adds to the spontaneous feel of the party!
Cheers to Megan and Will!
