Chic Summer Waterfront Wedding at Battello Every couple planning their wedding has one major disadvantage. They are never a pro until their wedding is over. This experience makes them a wonderful Matron of Honor or Best Man for their privileged friends, but alas, the lessons they learned they will never again use for their wedding. […]

Claudia and Drew have spent their lives together around the Jersey shore. What better place to finally tie the knot than in Point Pleasant? I met these two in Belmar over a year ago for their engagement session. We opted for a sunset session, but devoted Drew proposed to Claudia on the beach in Belmar […]

A Summer Wedding at Hamilton Farm When choosing a wedding venue, Hamilton Farm was a no brainer for Cori and Andrew. Cori has a love for horses, and Andrew a love for golf. When you combine those two passions, you get the United States Equestrain Team and Hamilton Farm Golf Club all in the same […]

A Heartfelt Summer Wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Kristen and Santiago met each other quite a few times before they became “Kristen and Santi.” Over the years, meeting at mutual friend’s parties, or day trips to the beach, each time one or both were in a relationship. It wasn’t until one Thanksgiving when they met again, […]

Romance In Full Bloom At This Classic Chinoiserie-Inspired Wedding Margaux & Will’s wedding was a real celebration of getting all of their family and friends together in one location. This may sound like every other wedding, only this group of people is from every corner of the world. Most of these people had never even […]

Victoria and Neil are high school sweethearts, and last week they tied the knot! When I arrived at the Park Chateau, there was an enlarged photo from their prom, and next to it, a more recent photograph from their engagement session! Now, they need to add their wedding photo to this triptych to complete their […]

Married at Red Maple Vineyard Melissa and Josh have been lifelong friends. They met at summer camp when they were kids and decided that they would be each other’s “back up plan” in case Mr. or Mrs. Right never came along. Little did they know, that they were meant for each other! I love stories […]

A Classic Spring Wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Is there anything sweeter than two people in love? The only thing sweeter, is two people in love on their wedding day. In every picture I have of Colleen and Ilya together, it’s like the outside world fades away. Ilya spent the entire day either staring lovingly or […]

Summer Arrives Early at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club I love Emily and Joe’s story. They didn’t meet on an app, they didn’t meet in a bar. Joe worked for Emily’s father, who told him that he had “a nice daughter.” The rest is history. I think “nice daughter” is an understatement. Emily is truly one […]

A Romantic Spring Wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau Anna was one of the first inquiries I received for her 2022 wedding and it seemed so far away at the time! I quickly learned that she is a talented photographer, and she even tagged along with me to one of my 2020 engagement sessions. I love […]
