crossed keys estate wedding andover, new jersey // linda + adam

Happy Wednesday! Here’s some pretty to brighten your day! Linda + Adam’s wedding was one for the books, friends..

First up, some sweet deets.

Adam’s mom made all the yarmulkes for the wedding. And when she told me that when she made Adam’s she prayed for him with every stitch, I *had* to get a photograph of her holding his.

Hiiiiii Linda! You are so beautiful + bright! You SHINE.

Meanwhile, across the lawn..

Hiiiiii Adam!

Before their first look, they wanted to read letters that they had written to each other together (how sweet!)

Does it get any cuter than your wedding party spying on you?! I LOVE THESE PEOPLE.

Adam + Linda got married during the heatwave of July. MAN, was it hot. But you’d never know it from this crew! They were total champs ALL.DAY.LONG.

I said they looked like twins.

After a few portraits we headed inside for the signing of the ketubah. Jewish traditions are some of my favorite.

Nothing beats your mama holding your hand, so happy to watch you about to become legally wed.

And now onto the ceremony!

Both Linda + Adam broke the glass which was AMAZING.

After the ceremony, I asked them how they felt about being married. Safe to say the answer is AMAZING-EXCITED-MOST RAD THING EVER.

Speech time!

Followed by my favorite part of the day – THE HORA!! Seriously, there is always SO MUCH JOY during a hora. It’s hard for me to focus on photographing because I am celebrating with my couples!

After a little bit of dancing, we headed out for some more bride + groom portraits.. can you even handle it?!

Silly, fun couples are my favorite. And these guys may have been the silliest I’ve ever photographed. Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your authentic, hilarious personalities.

 

 

Who doesn’t love some cake?!

 

Linda + Adam – thank you guys so much for trusting me, allowing me to celebrate with you, and for generally being AWESOME people. It was an honor. xo, Lauren
