Jasna Polana Wedding of Janell + Jonathan 05.16.09 (Part 1)

I just adore photographing weddings at Jasna Polana in Princeton, NJ. It’s simply magical and one of my favorite venues in NJ. The neoclassical mansion was built by world-renowned architect Wallace Harrison as the country home of J. Seward Johnson and his wife, Barbara. It brings me back to all that I love about European architecture. It was the perfect setting for Janell and Jonathan’s classic style. I loved Janells Pronovias gown. So classic, it reminded me of a formal gown from the 1950’s. Her Stuart Weitzman shoes were a nice contemporary touch. It was the first time I worked with hair and makeup artist Michelle LoConte of Pink Comb Salon, but I do hope to work with her again. She did the most beautiful hairdo for Janell. Top notch! The couple was married at Saint Charles Borromeo Church in Skillman, NJ. After the ceremony we returned to Jasna for their couple portraits. At Jasna Polana there are so many beautiful areas that I am going to devote tomorrows post just to their couple portraits.
