A WINDY BLACK TIE WEDDING AT THE TILLING HOUSE, NJ + AFTER PARTY.
WELCOME TO CHIRS & NICOLE’S LOVE STORY.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY ICONIC WEDDING. THIS WAS ONE FOR THE BOOKS.
EVERY ELEMENT, WHETHER YOU KNEW IT OR NOT, HAD A STORY. NICOLE BOUGHT HER WEDDING DRESS SIGHT UNSEEN AND HAD IT FLOWN IN FROM OUT OF COUNTRY, AND IT WAS PERFECT. THE CHAIRS JUST BARELY MADE IT IN TIME BEFORE GUEST STARTED ARRIVING. EVERYTHING HAD TO BE MOVED INSIDE BECAUSE OF HOW WINDY IT WAS. FROM CHICKEN SANDWICHES AT THE AFTER PARTY TO NICOLE HAVING TO REDO HER HAIR WITH THE HELP OF HER BRIDESMAIDS JUST SHORTLY BEFORE THE CEREMONY, IT WAS A DAY I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER.
IF YOU’VE EVER HAD A CONSULTATION CALL WITH ME, YOU’LL HAVE LIKELY HEARD ME SAY SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF, “IT’S SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU ACTUALLY LIKE THE PERSON SHOWING UP TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR WEDDING.” FOR ME, I REALLY DESIRE TO FORM A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERY ONE OF MY COUPLES. TO TRULY BOND WITH AND GET TO KNOW THEM ON A DEEPER LEVEL IS CRUCIAL TO ACCURATE DOCUMENTATION. I WANT TO BE SOMEONE YOU CAN LAUGH WITH AND BE YOURSELF AROUND.
I AM SO LUCKY THAT BOTH NICOLE AND CHRIS IMMEDIATELY FELT LIKE GOOD FRIENDS.
“Where do I begin…from the moment my husband and I had our first call with Alana we knew our wedding wouldn’t be complete without her. There was an instant sense of comfort and trust, and that only grew during our engagement shoot and of course our wedding day. She truly went above and beyond to understand our vision and bring it to life in a way that felt so us.
What made working with Alana even more special was how genuine and personal it felt. We became friends too — cocktails after our engagement shoot, an impromptu coffee date when she was in town — those moments meant so much. On our wedding day she she felt like a friend, not just a vendor, and that made all the difference.
The photos speak for themselves. Every emotion, detail, and moment was captured so beautifully and effortlessly. We are absolutely obsessed and will cherish these photos forever.
If you’re considering booking Alana, do not hesitate! She is incredibly talented, thoughtful, and truly one of a kind — we couldn’t imagine our wedding without her!!”
Nicole + Chris
& THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
