Rainy Wedding Day at Hamilton Farm Olivia and Rob’s wedding was 10 years in the making. This lovely couple practically grew up together, after beginning their relationship at the end of senior year of high school. Their wedding came together as a combined effort between Olivia and her Mom, planning the events from the start. […]

A Fall Wedding at Natirar Sandwiched between a string of rain storms this fall, the clouds parted just long enough for Sara and Sam’s outdoor wedding at the Mansion at Natirar. When Sara and Sam saw the mansion and the view that went along with Natirar, they knew this would be their venue for their […]

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 […]

Because you are more photogenic than you think! The No. 1 concern of my brides and grooms when I first discuss their wedding photography with them:“We’re not photogenic”It’s not a thing. If it were a thing, I would tell you my husband is the King of “not photogenic.”God has a sense of humor.Not photogenic = […]

A Romantic Fall Wedding at The Mansion at Natirar I love Cassie and Louis’ story. Their dads had been friends for years, but they didn’t know each other existed. When Louis’ dad invited Cassie’s dad over to watch a UFC fight and bring his family along, that’s the beginning of our story. Some time and […]
