I am so excited to share Kristin and Rob’s beautiful fall wedding at Hamilton Farm! I have worked with Kristin for years – a very talented makeup artist – our paths cross every wedding season. When she reached out about her wedding, I was so thrilled to be part of her day! I consistently tell […]

Timeless Estate Wedding at Natirar As I climbed Natirar’s steep hill last Saturday, I couldn’t help thinking about how perfect Amanda and Rob’s wedding day was. It hadn’t started yet – I had not even found Amanda in her makeup chair. The sun shone brilliantly, yet graced us with less intense heat than the week […]

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 […]

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 […]

A Romantic Tented Wedding I try not to gush too much when I write about my weddings, but it’s hard for me not to get a little excited about Alex and Greg’s day!  It was one of those events where everything came together – perfect couple (so much fun!) – classic elegant venue – perfect design […]

Fear-Taming Tips for Rain on Your Wedding Day! Introduction Kate is one of my 2018 brides, and when I asked her for a few tips for future brides, she sent me an entire blog! I met Kate and Bart through a couple of friends, and when they hired me to photograph their wedding, I was […]

New Year’s Eve Wedding at Natirar Typically my New Year’s Eve consists of my little family asleep on the couch (and floor). That leaves me to toast myself at the start of the new year. We’re not what you call “party animals,” although sometimes my kids are in fact just animals. I digress. So, when […]

Scenic Views and Comfort Foods The art of wedding planning, because that’s really what it is, shouldn’t be vague. Every wedding is different, because the two people you’re celebrating are unique! Their wedding details and every other component should be unique as well, and Ali and Josh definitely added their personal taste (pun intended) to […]

A Wedding in Full Color It had been almost a year since I met Brandy and Mike during their Princeton engagement session. Their wedding was right around the corner, so we decided to meet for coffee just a few weeks before the big day. Over a year and a half ago, I gave Brandy a […]
