On today’s blog post, I’ll be featuring Emily and Jason’s River Roast wedding photos. All of my past communication with Emily and Jason was via skype and phone calls, so I was really looking forward to working with them in-person! Emily and Jason were a lovely couple, and we had amazing weather to work with as well. To make things even better, I was able to work once again with the amazing Loren from Clementine Custom Events, who helped ensure that everything went smoothly. I had photographed at River Roast before, but it was before Tony Mantuano (from Michelin star-winning Spiaggia) and his team took over, revamping both the food and the decor. The improvements to the interior were gorgeous, and the new food was amazing! I definitely plan to go back to the restaurant for dinner. Anyways, let’s get to the wedding photos!
One of my favorites from the day – as Emily’s bridesmaids saw her for the first time in her dress.
After everyone was ready, we jumped into a car to head to St. Alphonsus for the ceremony.
After a few portraits around the city, it was off to River Roast for the reception.
Time for the dance party! I was thrilled to be working with two my favorite DJs – Kate and Rachel from Toast and Jam. They made sure that the dance floor at this River Roast wedding was packed all night long.
We stepped out at the end of the night for a quick evening portrait on the bridge with the city behind us.
Congratulations again Emily and Jason! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your River Roast wedding day. I had such a good time working with you, your families, and your friends, and I wish you only the best! You can contact me here if you’re interested in working together. You can read more about me in my bio, and see what other clients are saying in my reviews.
