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 […]
A Wedding in May I arrived at Sam’s house as the girl’s were getting ready, met her amazing bridesmaids and got settled into the group before heading onto the party bus to Natirar. The girls were in their matching gray robes and relaxing with some White Claw spiked seltzer (the official beach drink, in my […]
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 You Need an Engagement Session with Your Wedding Photographer I think the engagement session is a very undervalued part of the wedding process for many couples. Whether you already had a session when you got engaged, or you had a friend take your pictures for you, or you already sent out your Save-the-Dates, I […]
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, […]
Who are your Vendors? Ideally? They’re your friends. I don’t mean that your forcing your besties to be creative. I mean that you’ve found a creative who really clicks with you! No doubt you have tailored your wedding list to include the people in your life that mean the most to you. Why should your […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 bet Nicole and Craig had no idea that their Fall wedding would feel more like summer than this summer did! I’m not complaining here! The summer was filled with rain storms and less than ideal beach days. Enter in September, and summer has arrived! Or at least, it felt like it on Saturday at […]
Spring Showers and May Flowers I have a little “brag box” on my wedding questionnaire that I send to all of my couples a few weeks before their wedding. Sometimes I get a few bullet point remarks, other times I get a story. I received a story from Katherine, and I absolutely loved it. I […]
