Getting around Whippany on a wedding day
Whippany and East Hanover are the practical heart of a lot of Morris County weddings: the hotels are on Route 10, Birchwood Manor and Hanover Manor are minutes away, and Morristown is ten minutes west for photos. The catch is Route 10 itself, which is a divided highway with jughandles, so a wrong turn costs five minutes. Mauricio gives the limo driver the exact turn.
Both venues host more than one event on a busy Saturday, and he plans the portrait locations around the other party’s schedule so the garden is yours when you need it.
Light and places in Whippany
This is the flat, open part of the county, so sunset comes when the forecast says and the garden ceremony sites at both venues stay in even light through the afternoon. For something with more texture, the Whippany River park and Morristown’s arboretum are ten minutes away.
A Morris County photographer, about thirty-five minutes
Mauricio lives in Sparta and has photographed 750+ weddings in 14 years, most of them within an hour of Whippany. He knows the Morris County coordinators, florists and DJs by name, and he plans every timeline around the real light on the ground rather than a number in an app.
Engagement sessions around Whippany go to the Frelinghuysen Arboretum, Jockey Hollow and the Patriots’ Path along the Whippany River.
From a Google review
“Mauricio and the rest of the team at Hariel Xavier Photography are now like family to my wife and I! We carefully chose Mauricio and his team and from day one at our engagement photos we KNEW the right choice was made. He went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was captured.”
