Anne Becker and Joel Schwartzberg

The historic Frenchtown Inn was the setting for the November wedding of Anne and Joel. Anne is a teacher at the Montclair Kimberley Academy and Joel is the Director of New Media at NOW, the long running program on PBS.

The Inn, next to the Delaware River in western New Jersey, was an intimate setting for their wedding as they were surrounded by their family and friends.

Towards the end of the evening, Joel's 9-year old son captivated the gathering with a toast to his father and his bride that was as well composed and as mature as any best-man's speech that this photographer has witnessed. On second thought, his speech was MORE mature than 75% of best-man speeches!

Tom Lonergan and Judith Russell

In late November, two favorite people of mine got married at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Montclair, NJ. Tom is the Executive Director of the Montclair Business Improvement District (one the best run BID's in northern New Jersey) and Judith is a psychologist at Rikers Island.

I'm on the Board of Directors of the BID, so I am one of the many bosses Tom usually has to bow down to. But on his wedding day, Tom was the KING and Judith RULED!

Lots of BID folks were in attendance, the dancing was wild, the food great, and the couple were gorgeous. Their party was held at The Atrium in West Orange, NJ.
