Maryellen + John, Rumson Country Club wedding

Some might think that the most impressive thing about John & Maryellen’s wedding is that the ceremony took place at the beautiful St. George’s by the River. As nice as that, in and of itself is, I was most impressed that we were actually allowed to take photographs in the church that day.! Anyone who has ever attended a wedding there knows that photos are not permitted during the ceremony, at all. So… somebody knew somebody… that was cool. : ) Others might think that the most impressive thing about the wedding of Maryellen Vanecek to John Perrine is that the reception took place inside the swanky new Riverhouse at The Rumson Country Club but to me the most beautiful thing about that space is just outside and the spectacular views it offers of the Shrewsbury River. A fine choice for certain, on all counts. All in all however, I think that Liz and I were most impressed by how close we felt to many of the people in attendance and how warmly we were treated. In years gone by, we had photographed the weddings of John’s two brothers, first Charlie (to Vanessa) in July of 2007 and then Edward (to Kristine) in July of 2012. In all of that time we have gotten to know many of the friends and family members quite well and it was such a comfortable feeling to be with so many of them on that day. It was so wonderful to be “invited back” once again to capture the day in photos! Thank you Etel (a.k.a. mom) for that! Etel, I loved taking those photos of you and your three boys in your back yard for the third time!!! Liz and I always say that we have one of the best jobs on earth and it’s people like the Perrines, the Vaneceks, the Picciottos and the Campanellis that contribute so much to making our lives so sweet… <3, Bob & Liz McKay Ceremony – St George’s By The River Reception – The Riverhouse at Rumsory Club Flowers – Boxwood Gardens Wedding Invitation – Magic Beyond Midnight Wedding Cake – Ye Olde Pie Shoppe Entertainment – Jack Goodman Band/Esteem Entertainment Wedding Dress – Pronovias Bride’s Shoes – Beholden Bridal Groom’s Weae – Dante Tuxedos Make-Up – I Do Hair and Make-up Hair – Pink comb Salon Transportation – First Class Limousine]]>
