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 […]
Wintry Red & White Maternity Session Pregnancy was one of my favorite experiences. Sure, it’s uncomfortable, and makes you super tired. I also was not a cute pregnant woman. Especially when pregnant with my daughter (sadly, I’m gonna get an “Amen” from some of my closest acquaintances…) I think maternity sessions are overlooked because for […]
This year seemed to fly by, but looking back at some of the happiest, most emotional moments, I have been transported back and totally overwhelmed with joy as I remember each and every wedding we were blessed to be part of this year. 2017 was a wonderful year to remember, and I wanted to share […]
There were little children running all around the bridal suite, so happy to be spending an entire day out of school AND being with their cousins. The only thing louder than the noise and excitement of little people was Laura’s smile and enthusiasm! Laura’s step-daughter, Danielle, carefully applied Laura’s makeup with the assistance of her […]
You know how they say “never judge a book by its cover?” Well, the same applies to people! More specifically, Kristen and Justin! Kristen is super calm, quiet, and has the sweetest smile. I would have never guessed that she has such an adventurous spirit! Besides backpacking to countries I’ve never seen (by herself!), Justin proposed to Kristen […]
I woke up Sunday morning with rainy skies, but a joyful spirit as I packed up my car for my 10 minute drive to Natirar for Courtney and Calvin’s wedding. Kelly and I met these two (well four, because we had some adorable puppy props!) in Liberty State Park, where we photographed their engagement session. […]
Natirar Mansion’s Re-Opening! Many years ago, my husband (then boyfriend) and I would drive around the Somerset Hills “Mansion hunting,” while he gave me a brief history of all the great houses that surround us. One of them was Natirar, “Raritan” spelled backwards after the Raritan River it sits on, in case you didn’t already […]
An Elegant and Timeless Wedding at Hamilton Farm We spent so much time with Samantha and Eric, that by the time their wedding day arrived on Friday, we knew half the family! We had the pleasure of photographing Eric’s sister, Gabrielle’s wedding at Ninety Acres back in October, and she recommended me to Samantha. Gabrielle and […]
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 […]
