Katie & Kris {WEDDING} The Shore Casino, Atlantic Highlands NJ, New Jersey Wedding Photography

Venue: 

The Shore Casino

Katie and Kris' wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and it perfectly reflected them as a couple, beautiful inside and out! They did an amazing job creating such fun and beautiful nautical themed details for their wedding day. I had been so excited to shoot their wedding since the day I met up with them for their 

engagement session

 at the beautiful marina in Atlantic Highlands (the same location as their venue). I always love spending time with the couple before the wedding and getting to know their story! One thing that I learned is that family is very important to both of them and so are children. Katie is a professional nanny and I thought it was so special that the flower girls and little ring barer were all children she has nannied for. One of my favorite parts of the night was their first dance with the smoke all around them...it really looked like a fairy tale! The love these two have is undeniable and it was a joy for me to capture every moment of their special day.  I could really go on and on about how beautiful this wedding was but I will let you see for yourself!

Congratulations Katie & Kris!

Enjoy the photos :)

P.S. I had a REALLY hard time narrowing down which ones to put up for this post... I'm pretty much in love with every photo from this wedding :)

Sara & Chris {WEDDING} The Manor Restaurant in West Orange NJ, New Jersey Wedding Photography

Venue: 

The Manor

Everything about Sara and Chris' wedding day was gorgeous! Even the weather, which threatened with rain most of the day, held off and we were able to have the ceremony outside on the beautiful grounds of The Manor in West Orange NJ. This is one of those weddings that I can't believe has come and gone already! I remember meeting with Sara the day she booked with me almost a year ago and it feels like just yesterday. She was so full of joy and enthusiasm talking about the plans for their wedding day, but she really lit up when she talked about her husband-to-be. Once I met with them for their engagement session one thing was obvious, these two are head over heals for each other! They were both so relaxed when the big day arrived. I have never seen a couple dance with each other on the dance floor more than Sara and Chris did. Not to mention it was hard not to dance thanks to the amazing band that had all the guests on their feet the whole night!  I loved capturing every moment of Sara & Chris' day.

Congratulations Sara & Chris, may you have a lifetime of love and happiness!

Ashley & Matt {Wedding} Woodlake Country Club, New Jersey Wedding Photography

I was so excited to kick off this year's wedding season with Ashley and Matt's wedding! If I had to describe their wedding in three words they would be unique, fun and beautiful! They had an Arbor Day Wedding and every detail of their day related to it. Ashely wore green shoes and earrings, the groomsmen wore green socks, and all the bridesmaids were given an Alex and Ani bracelet with a tree on it! There were so many more cute Arbor day details but my favorite was the guest book which was a picture of a tree and each quest left their finger print on it! Matt and Ashley have a love for each other that comes so naturally. I love watching people marry their best friend :) These two had a blast dancing the night away with their friends and family surrounding them. It was such a pleasure to capture their special day!

Congratulations Ashley & Matt! Enjoy the photos!

I pretty much loved everything about this engagement session! A gorgeous Spring evening, pink trees, and a beautiful couple...who could ask for more?! I had such a great time walking around with these two! Nicole and Wayne have a love that just shines through in each and every photo.

They are both such wonderful people and I am so excited to photograph their wedding in July :)

The W. Family { Family Session} Deep Cut Gardens, NJ family photography

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family on a beautiful spring afternoon in April. They are excitedly awaiting the arrival of baby number 3! After the LONG winter we had we were thrilled to see flowers in bloom and couldn't help but get a few shots of the kids with them! I was so happy to be able to capture such an exciting time for this family. I hope to capture more special memories for them in the future :)

Enjoy the photos!

Kristin & Julian {Engagement Session} Washington Square Park, Philadelphia, Engagement Photography

Julian and Kristin's spring engagement session in Philly was absolutely beautiful! It was SO nice to be outside without a coat for the first time in months and we had a great time walking around and exploring the area. Kristin is a huge fan of Starbucks and knew she wanted to do a Save The Date using the Starbucks cups, which was such a cute idea! Aside from being a super sweet couple Julian and Kristin are just completely adorable together, and they made the picture taking quite easy for me.

I am so excited that this couple will kick off my 2015 weddings in January next year!

Enjoy the photos :)
