Gina & Matt had a sweet small town wedding in Skippack PA. They met while working in the summer of 2006  They chatted often, and Matt made the move to invite her to PSU for a Nov. football game in 2006. Gina decided to go, and from then on they only got closer and realized the time they spent together was something special. On Christmas morning of 2010 Matt asked Gina to marry him so it was so fitting that they chose to wed December 30 of 2011.  Here are some of my fav images from this great day.

Kristen & Jon found me using Google and once we began chatting we all realized that we had friends in common.  Jon was friends with my late brother-in-law Denis and his sister went to high school with my sister-in-law Kathleen (shameless plug, check out Made by Kacky )  I was so happy to work with this couple and they sure know how to party!

On June 30th I got a phone call from an amazing charity “Wish Upon A Wedding” they were granting a wish for an amazing couple Valerie & Larry on November 1st at the Park Ave Club in Florham Park NJ.  I was so happy to be able to be a “wish granter” for this sweet couple.  Special thanks also to guest photographers Inku Yo and  Erin H. Photography  who took amazing photographs during the event.

Here is their story:

Their love story is a complex but at the same time, simple one. Valerie has always believed that people are brought into our lives for a purpose. Whether for a moment or an eternity.

Their love story truly could make a great novel!

Since April of 2009, the couple has faced many obstacles. Larry has been admitted to the hospital on 6 occasions resulting in 5 surgeries. At 38 years old, he is legally blind in one eye due to complications from type 1 diabetes. He has had open heart surgery to replace and infected aortic valve and he is undergoing weekly treatments of dialysis 4 hours/3days a week.

Despite all of the hardships, Valerie and Larry  still manage to laugh and love every day. They have learned not to take anything for granted. They hope to raise their children and encourage them to live life to the fullest extent. They are hopeful that a kidney and pancreas donor will become available for Larry in the near future.

Valerie and Larry’s Wedding Wish was granted on November 1st, 2011 in Florham Park, NJ. The overriding theme of the wedding was rich fall colors and Wheat, which signified “An advancing state of love and charity” in the bible.
