A Winter Wedding Could 2018 start out any better?  Michelle and Spencer’s winter wedding was as magical as I could have hoped, and more so. From the moment I walked into the Bridal Suite, I knew that the day was going to be perfect, no matter what happened.  Michelle was relaxed and completely ready.  She […]

Why Change? Growing up with 5 people to one bathroom (brutal) we all used one family shampoo and conditioner.  Herbal Essences. For those of you who are my age or older, you may remember the clear bottles with the floral background, and the “You make me feel like a natural woman” commercials.  Then, one day, […]

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 […]

Thankful I love holidays, and Thanksgiving is no exception.  There is no stress that comes along with this holiday, no difficult expectations…in fact, it’s quite the opposite.  You are expected to eat and be merry, and that is not difficult! As we get closer to the holiday, I am constantly challenging myself to think about and really appreciate […]

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.  […]

I cannot believe how quickly this year is going!  I remember back when Danielle first contacted me about her Fall 2017 wedding (so far away…) and we found out that we were planning on going to LBI on the same weekend, in Barnegat Light, one street away from each other.  I get to meet my […]

Home Sweet Harding, NJ When I first met with Anne-Marie and her Mom at her childhood home in Harding, she had so many great ideas for her wedding day pictures.  Most of these locations were described to me as “the field down the street” and “the Sycamore lined drive.”  I never did nail down an […]

A Classic, Intimate Summer Wedding It’s not very often that I get to photograph intimate weddings, but they are some of my favorites!  From the moment I walked through the door at Brittney’s childhood home, I felt welcome and so comfortable with her sisters, who made up her bridal party, along with her baby niece.  […]

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 […]
