Brooks and I had a blast shooting Gale & Nidal's rehearsal last Friday.  The wedding took place at a beautiful greek orthodox church in Little Falls, NJ.  It was great to be able to get a sneak peek of it before the actual ceremony.  We took advantage of the extra time and got some great detail shots of the church.  After the rehearsal, everyone headed over to Nidal's parents house for an authentic Syrian meal.  His mother is an AMAZING cook and had been preparing for the meal all week!  Brooks, Jana, and I had never tasted Syrian food before and we have to say we were quite impressed.  It was all so yummy!  It was a nice chance for everyone to gather and hang out before the big day.  Nidal's family was so hospitable...so warm and inviting.  We had such a great time, we didn't feel like we were working!  Thanks to all who made our stay so wonderful!  We enjoyed every minute of the weekend!  Check back soon because Brooks will be blogging about the wedding!
