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 […]

Princeton Engagement I met Kaitlyn over a decade ago, she was still in high school, and she would work at Pryde Brown Photographs with me in the afternoons as an intern. Fast forward and this girl is getting married! I cannot believe how everyone else around me grows up and I somehow stay the same […]

If this were a book, I think this is where I would type out “Preface.” This isn’t a book, and I want you to keep reading, so I’ll make this short and sweet 🙂 I met James when I was 16 years old at one of those conferences you attend for the sole purpose of […]

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!

There was something so unique about each […]

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, […]
