Some of the sweetest love stories happen at the most unexpected of times. For Caterina and James, the beginning of their story started back in high school where they first met. It was during their younger years that they met and dated, but alas it wasn’t their time just yet. Over the years they kept in touch and reconnected and now have been together for 7+ years. Not only did I get the absolute honor of shooting Caterina and James’ elegant Fall wedding at the Hamilton Farm Golf Club, but we also had the opportunity to photograph her brother and sister-in-law’s wedding back in 2022! It felt like such a full-circle moment to be able to come back and document Caterina and James’ wedding day. Their entire wedding day was breathtaking and I can just say this… photos don’t lie!

Caterina + James’ NJ Wedding at Hamilton Farm Golf Club

Before photographing a wedding day, it’s important to me as their wedding photographer that I can gauge an overall vision. Immediately, as soon as I received the full Pinterest board for Caterina and James’ wedding, I was hooked. Light peaches/pinks, olive greens, yellows, and light blues draped across their entire vision board. It was a very light color palette, but seeing as their wedding was at the beginning of the Fall season, tying in the olive green was the perfect pairing.

Caterina and James wanted their wedding day to embody an elegant and vintage-type feel. Despite them getting married at a golf club, they were able to tie in beautiful detailing and florals that brought that vintage-elegant feel to life. Breathtaking floral pieces and bouquets by J&M Home and Garden were the perfect pops of color. Bridesmaids wore satin olive green dresses from Birdy Grey which looked stunning on every member of the wedding party.

Church Ceremony & Reception at The Hamilton Farm Golf Club

This morning we spent with Caterina and her bridesmaids getting ready at Caterina’s parents’ home. Opting out of a first look, we waited with anticipation as we drove to Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary for their indoor church ceremony. Tears were flowing as we watched Caterina and James divulge in a traditional wedding ceremony in front of friends and family.

Shortly after the ceremony, we made our way to the Hamilton Farm Golf Club where it was photo time!! On this day, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The sun was beaming and we had lots of room to get creative on the estate property. Their reception space was beautiful and clean-cut with tons of natural light and a minimalistic and elegant approach to their table decor. It embodied that vintage-elegant feel that Caterina and James always wanted and we loved every minute of it.
