Meg & Dan’s Elegant Wedding at the Ryland Inn

The Ryland Inn

Whitehouse STation, NJ

Meg and Dan contacted me just under a year after I photographed Dan’s sister, Jess’s, wedding. They planned a ceremony at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church followed by an elegant reception at the historic Ryland Inn, originally built in 1796 as a country home and stagecoach stop.

They chose full-day digital wedding photography coverage with a second photographer and a premium heirloom wedding album printed on photographic paper guaranteed to maintain its true color and vibrant images for at least 150 years.
