Laura and Devon’s Sailboat Adventure There’s something uniquely romantic about the New Jersey Shore, especially when it’s so sentimental! Laura and Devon’s engagement session was nothing short of magical, featuring a sailboat adventure and a stunning beach sunset in Seaside Park. As a photographer, it was a joy to witness and capture their love story, […]
Newport Estate Engagement Session Newport, with its timeless charm and coastal beauty, is a dream destination for engagement sessions. As a frequent Newport photographer, I have had the pleasure of capturing love stories in some of the most picturesque locations, from the historic estates to the stunning shores.

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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A Backyard Spring Wedding I thought, I can’t possibly continue with my plan to post this gorgeous Spring styled shoot when no one can get married right now. Then, I actually really looked at these images. It occurred to me, I MUST post these spring wedding photos? Why? Because a styled shoot is nothing short […]
