Laura & Phil are such down-to-earth, fun-loving people, that it was a total joy to spend the day with them. The home of Phil’s family was full of excitement – and lots of food and noise – as he, his brothers, and the rest of his groomsmen quickly got prepped for photos and for the rest of the day. Their energetic activity was easily mirrored by Laura and her girls getting the last touches of hair and makeup done. Laura’s custom-made gown was just perfect for her, and she looked absolutely stunning. She couldn’t stop smiling throughout our brief bridal session. Before you knew it, we were headed to the Meadowlands, where she and Phil enjoyed a fantastically fun and romantic period of time together before their ceremony. They were adorable.
One highlight of the reception evening was when Phil took Laura by complete surprise when he pulled out his guitar, set up an extra chair next to his own, and invited Laura to sit and listen to him play for her while he sang Growing Old With You (from the Adam Sandler movie, “The Wedding Singer”). Laura was beside herself with laughter, and with love for Phil and his classic rendition.
