The Phases and Stages of Love Welcome to the first real topic of the Confessions of a Young Bride series! As promised, this series is meant to be fun, insightful, and not too preachy ;P . What I’ve learned over 15 years of marriage, I want to share! So here we go! I want to […]

Hindu Ceremony at Natirar I photographed my first Hindu ceremony last Saturday, and I absolutely loved every minute of it. First of all, Dana and Arun were awesome about walking me through what to expect. They were not at all concerned about the fact that I had never photographed an Indian wedding before, and I […]

Spring Wedding at the Mansion at Natirar

Joyful Spring Wedding at Natirar Emily and Scott’s wedding was absolutely stunning! However, that’s not what makes this wedding day so magical. What did make it so magical? Let’s start with the fact that they both got each other two cards (and thought they were so clever!). Emily’s crinkle-nose when she smiles. The moment Dad […]

Glitter and Glamorous Details There are many things that make up a wedding photographer’s dream. A neatly organized box of wedding details is definitely one of them! When I arrived to the bridal suite at the Mansion at Natirar, Adriana pointed toward the corner where she had her shoes, rings, invitations, shawl, jewelry, and the […]

Christmas Bride at Natirar When I pulled up to Natirar for my very last wedding of 2018, I was greeted by the twinkling lights settled on the brick wall, leading up to the mansion. The front door was adorned with festive wreaths, and upon entering the marble foyer, a warm glow from the candles and sprawling […]

A Beautiful, Blustery Fall Wedding Saturday greeted us with gorgeous light and glowing trees. I texted Laura, my bride, to wish her a happy wedding day and her response was “mind the wind!” No kidding! It was a super windy day in the 200 acre wood that makes up Natirar Park! It’s no secret that […]

“We’re halfway there” If ever there were a quintessential Hoboken couple, Kenia and John are it. The first time I met them was at the bar where it all began at O’Nieal’s Restaurant and Bar where we kicked off their engagement session. After a glass of wine for Kenia, we were all set to start […]

Married at Natirar While I felt like I got to know Ali and Matt pretty well at their engagement session, I learned so much more about them on their wedding day! When I first walked into Natirar’s main hall, I saw all kinds of one-of-a-kind signs that Ali, the DIY Natirar bride that she is, […]

A Good Apple I feel like it was ages ago when I first spoke to Kristen and John about their Fall 2018 wedding at Natirar and their rehearsal dinner at Alstede’s in Chester. With John’s family coming from North Carolina, they wanted to welcome their guests with a casual country dinner that included apple picking […]

A Fall Wedding at Jasna Polana Can anyone else quickly read a couple’s dynamic just by watching them interact? When I first met Alison and Mike, I got the feeling that they had grown up together and felt so relaxed and comfortable in each other’s company. I couldn’t imagine them apart. Besides ending our engagement […]
