Bride and groom with wedding party at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club

When a golf-loving groom and a country club-loving bride are on the search for their perfect wedding venue, you can’t do better than Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club. Kristen and Matt met at work, but when Kristen moved on from that company, she kept Matt around. Now Matt and Kristen run a new team, the husband […]

From High school sweethearts to husband and wife – Jen and Chris were finally married last Saturday! When I asked Jen about her wedding planning and what they were most looking forward to, she said “Chris and I are high school sweethearts and we feel that we have been ‘married’ for over 10 years, we […]

It’s the classic football player falls for cheerleader story that ends in a happily ever after. According to Luke, he’s had a crush on Keri since 8th grade. The admiration he had for Keri all those years ago has only evolved into the love he has for her today. When I arrived to Fiddler’s Elbow […]

Classic Wedding at Trump National When I first spoke with Chrissy and Gerry, they weren’t quite set on a date or venue yet. They knew they wanted to get married in the Somerset Hills, having grown up in the area, but hadn’t pinpointed a venue. We discussed what was most important to them – family, […]

Lauren’s email to me right after getting engaged sounded something like this: “I have been following your account for a few years and I just love your romantic, timeless, and bright photographs. I knew once I got engaged I would have to reach out to you!” What a message to receive! I was thrilled to […]

A Spring Wedding at Pleasantdale Chateau I was super excited about Carlie and Nick’s wedding day. First of all, you couldn’t ask for a nicer, more considerate couple than these two. They even planned their wedding from the perspective of their guests, making sure that every decision catered to their loved ones to ensure a […]

A Spring Wedding at Bay Head Yacht Club Kallan spent her summers as a child down the shore, where her parents and grandparents shared the neighboring houses at end of the block in Bay Head. Later in life, with Matt, they spent the work from home months cooped up at the beach house to escape […]

Spring Showers and May Flowers I have a little “brag box” on my wedding questionnaire that I send to all of my couples a few weeks before their wedding. Sometimes I get a few bullet point remarks, other times I get a story. I received a story from Katherine, and I absolutely loved it. I […]

Spring Wedding Day at Fiddler’s Elbow If “spring showers bring May flowers” then we are in for a floral May! I traveled back and forth from FL to NJ for the last two weekends of April and sunny days were a rarity in the time spent in the northeast. These rainy conditions continued into Ally […]
