A Spring Wedding at the Park Avenue Club You know when you see something on Pinterest and you bookmark it with every intention of replicating it exactly? In reality, we set ourselves up for a #pinterestfail. Amanda’s not like that. I swear she is the one that creates the content that inspires Pinterest users far […]

A Beach Wedding We’re going to have to start at the beginning of Kristin and Connor’s wedding planning to fully understand why their beach wedding (and instagram hashtag!) is so clever and important. A little over a year ago, while on vacation in Maui, Connor proposed to Kristin as the sun set over the beach […]

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 […]

A Winter Wedding turned Spring I knew what I was looking for when I walked into the Park Chateau for Ashley & Kevin’s late March wedding. She had told me all about her grand plans for a winter wedding that turned spring after the wedding ceremony at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. When […]

Carolyn & Kevin’s Califon Wedding When someone from Califon gets married, everyone from Califon knows about it.  It’s a 1 square mile town, and like a country song, we all leave this 1 square mile town for a while, but are drawn right back to it!  I for instance, left my hometown for DC and […]

A Princeton Wedding Maya and Anthony’s wedding was one of the first 2017 weddings I booked almost 2 years ago, and it really felt like it was so far away!  Maya contacted me after her Maid of Honor, Kaitlyn, insisted she contact me.  I met Kaitlyn years ago when I worked at Pryde Brown Photographs, […]
