champagne tower at fiddler's elbow wedding

Kim and Evan are two of the most thoughtful people I have ever met, and I am so excited to introduce them as husband and wife! Their Labor Day weekend wedding was nothing short of beautiful, classic and joyful. I first met Kim and Evan in Central Park for their engagement session last year. We […]

New Year’s Eve Wedding at Natirar Typically my New Year’s Eve consists of my little family asleep on the couch (and floor). That leaves me to toast myself at the start of the new year. We’re not what you call “party animals,” although sometimes my kids are in fact just animals. I digress. So, when […]

A Fall Wedding in the Catskills Driving up through the Catskills, I immediately felt sentiment for the years of road trips my husband and I have taken over the years, heading north. From day trips to West Point to weeklong trips to the Adirondacks, I have such fond memories of the New York State Thruway. […]

Ali & Brad’s Greek Wedding I’ve been looking forward to this wedding all year! Ali and Brad’s wedding was my first Greek Orthodox wedding, so we decided from the start, that I would attend their rehearsal the night before so I could watch them go through the motions and learn about this beautiful ceremony! There […]

Jon & Jen Marry in Bucks County When Jen and Jon contacted me last year, just weeks after they got engaged, they didn’t know when or where they were getting married! Jon was a groomsman in Hilary and Jake’s wedding the previous spring, remembered working with us, and wanted us to photograph their wedding! Could […]

A Romantic Spring Wedding at Holly Hedge Estate The last time I photographed a wedding at Holly Hedge Estate, I had a medium format Hasselblad strapped to me, alternating color and black and white film every 24 exposures. Needless to say, that was a while back. When Amanda reached out to tell me she was […]

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 […]

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, […]

What’s the Craziest Thing You’ve Seen at a Wedding? I get asked this questions a lot!  And you know what?  I honestly can’t remember some of the crazy things I’ve seen at weddings.  I’ve seen emotional moments, things that should not have happened, and some mistakes in a day, but nothing that absolutely ruined a […]

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 […]

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.  […]

A Summer Wedding in Newport Jackie and Michael won the wedding lottery with the perfect late-summer wedding day in Newport, RI. We awoke to dark skies and straight up downpours the morning of their wedding day, but they gave way to the most beautiful blue skies and sun to usher in this exciting day. I had […]
