Emi + Phil | Wedding in Somerset, NJ

How can I sum up the amazingness that was Emi + Phil’s wedding in just a few short sentences?  On a day that had thunderstorms on the forecast for weeks, they had a backyard wedding with blue skies, a mariachi band and an incredible custom green wedding dress.  Oh!  And I can’t not mention the bride’s incredible lavender hair.  After a decade together, Emi + Phil tied the knot in their backyard.  Their ceremony included planting a tree with their wedding party using soil from both of their childhood homes and a native american blessing.  Afterwards, their guests enjoyed pizza from a food truck and an assortment of cupcakes and other delicious desserts while they danced late into the night. A few details I loved from this wedding:

  • Unfortunately, just 2 days before the wedding, Phil’s dad fell and broke his shoulder, requiring a replacement surgery.  The hospital surprised Emi + Phil by sending over someone to live-stream the entire ceremony to him.  It was great seeing what a positive impact that had on them!  It reminded me of Facetiming with my grandmother before my own wedding.
  • One of the bridesmaids made Emi’s engagement ring and Emi made both wedding bands.
  • Emi also made her incredible golden grown and Phil’s boutonniere.
  • Traditionally, a first look involves one person approaching the other.  For Emi + Phil’s first look, I had them both face away from one another so that, when they turned around, they would see each other at the exact same time.
