NJ Couple Andrew & Dana are our Best of Weddings 2012 Grand Prize contest!

Dean Michaels Studio is so happy to announce that Andrew and Dana won our Best of Weddings 2012 Grand Prize! Check out their awesome wedding photos here and take a look at their winning sampler below to learn a little bit more about the couple :D

How they first met: After having gone on multiple trips to Mt. Snow and Killington for years, it wasn’t until 2010 on one of those trips that they were more than casual acquaintances.

Dana’s favorite wedding memory: “Lights flashing, the music was pumping, I could feel all of our family and friends waiting inside for us, and that moment when the curtains lifted and I heard us announced as husband and wife for the first time! All I wanted to do was jump and dance and celebrate, and Andrew picked me up and spun me around, onto the dance floor, where we stayed all night!”

Andrew’s favorite wedding memory: “The guys got to the church super early, followed by a lot of waiting and watching all of our guests as they showed up and greeting them, and then more waiting. But all of a sudden, it seemed like just a few minutes later that the church was packed and I couldn’t wait any longer for the girls and Dana to arrive. That feeling of anticipation was so exciting and memorable, but the moment she stepped through the door and I could see her was my favorite moment, and I was just really happy to know that she was walking down the aisle towards me.”

Monthly Wedding Classic – Toni Ann & James’ 2008 wedding day happiness!

Happy May Day, everyone! Dean Michaels Studio is thrilled to start off our newest wedding season with a look back at Toni Ann and James’ 2008 wedding day photos :D

Our New Jersey photographers started off that beautiful September day at Toni Ann’s home in Fairfield, NJ, and before too long it was time to meet up with James and their family and friends for the happy ceremony at Saint Thomas More Church (also in Fairfield). After the couple had some wonderful moments together up at the altar, it was time to go celebrate the rest of the night away at their reception at Ravello Ristorante and Catering in East Hanover, NJ. We remember how much fun the day was, and we’re so happy to share these wonderful memories with you!
