How Carmi managed to finish med school in Boston, trek out to New Jersey less than one week later to arrive at her wedding completely gorgeous, relaxed, and the perfect picture of a gracious bride -- I'll never know. But, she did it.....and it couldn't have been a better day. Of course, her excellent planner Stacey Kallenberg of As You Wish was there to take care of all of the details, which I think may have helped a tiny bit.

Carmi & Mike (you may remember them from their sneak preview) were so sweet and so much fun to shoot. They were married at the gorgeous St. Stephen's Parish in Kearny, New Jersey, and their reception took place at The Palace at Somerset Park. Their excellent band Vali brought some crazy sound and I risked getting jabbed in the face by a rogue elbow to get a few of the crazy dance shots, but the party was so wild, it was 100% worth it.

I thought I'd change it up and do a slideshow this time. To start the show, just click the play button below and give it a few seconds to load. (Be sure to turn your volume down if you don't want to hear the music!)

(Also, big thanks to my buddy Jan Thiessen who came out to second shoot with me for the day!)
