denise & kirk at the sagamore resort
I met Denise & Kirk at the Sagamore the day before Hurricane Sandy tore up so much of the East coast last year, including their hometown of Hoboken, NJ. Needless to say, while everyone was concerned about what was coming, it was hard to envision the destruction that occurred. Luckily, Denise & Kirk didn’t suffer much damage from the storm.
Beyond that, I remember that my first impression was of a smart and sophisticated (not to mention great looking) couple, and I knew this was a wedding I really wanted to shoot. During the subsequent months, Denise and I had some great conversations, and I knew that my initial feelings were right on–she and I definitely clicked right from the beginning.
The wedding day turned out to be a seriously HOT one, and it was also really…HOT. Jeesh! But as you’ll see, everybody stayed looking completely cool, and we had an awesome time with this truly great couple, and all their family and friends.
We worked with some great vendors on this wedding, too—Makeup by Alayne Curtiss from Make Me Fabulous, Flowers by David Michael Schmidt at Renaissance Floral Design, and Music by Fernando Bustamante from Piano Man DJ. Big thanks to all—our photos are always better with a great crew of vendors on the job!
