A while ago I had the pleasure of photographing my dear friend Manny son’s wedding.

Karyn and George where married in a Greek Orthodox Wedding Ceremony at St. John The Theologian in Tenafly, NJ.

Their ceremony is one that I particularly love to witness.   It’s with good reason that I’ve fallen in love with the various aspects of, and the symbolisms in their service; having documented several over the years.

After their wedding mass, Karyn and George chose to have romantic photographs done at the beautiful Davis Johnson Gardens in Tenafly, NJ, a donation supported formal garden that loves to work beautiful brides and their grooms.  Without donations those lovely gardens would not exist.

The reception was held later that evening at the beautiful Graycliff in Moonachie, NJ.

And of course George and his uncle had to lead the cheers that evening!        Steve Burns

When I recently photographed Jill and Frank’s wedding at The Venetian in Garfield, NJ, I knew that it was slated to be published on 201bride.net. The florist, The Little Flower Shoppe in Ridgewood, NJ, transformed the entryway of the Venetian into a tropical garden. It was beautiful! Because of the scheduling for the day, I knew I would need additional coverage. Happily, Scott Bush from our Group of 10 network was able to work with me.
