McLoone's Pier House Wedding | Danielle + Matt

 
McLoone's Pier House Wedding Photography

Danielle and Matt’s wedding was incredible! We had the most GORGEOUS day of the year and their entire wedding couldn’t have been more beautiful. We started off the morning with the girls at the Sheraton in Eatontown which has some amazing window light coming in for detail photos. Danielle’s details were all so uniquely beautiful from her jewelry down to her shoes. Danielle’s dress was a stunning blush pink that really complemented her and the florals. Speaking of florals, Amber and Earth knocked it out of the park! Literally every floral from the bouquets to the center pieces, to the boutonnieres were absolutely gorgeous. So vibrant and summery! We did an adorable first look on the grand stair case and then hopped on the trolly for some bridal portraits at the Asbury Park Boardwalk. We had a blast finding different murals to use as a backdrop as well as the convention hall and the old casino there. Danielle incorporated her love for stars in almost every aspect of her wedding so it was totally meant to be when we found this huge lit up star on the boardwalk! We were all so excited! These two are just too stinkin’ cute together! They are so comfortable with each other and were just melting right into each pose. We then headed over to our final destination for the night, McLoone’s Pier House where we glided through bridal party and family photos. We had a good amount of time to spare before the ceremony. Danielle & Matt were able to enjoy cocktail hour with their friends and family while we captured the gorgeous details of the reception! The ceremony was simple and sweet and before you knew we were heading down to the beach for the sunset. Sneaking out for sunset photos is always one of my favorite things to do at Mcloones, even when it’s a little cloudy it’s always SO worth it! The rest of the night was filled with lots of smiles and dancing. Danielle and Matt are such a fun couple and their music choices fit them so perfectly. They brought it back with some 90’s music which is always the best. Everyone had an amazing time on the dance floor! I am SO excited for these two and it was such an honor to capture their most special day!

Thank you so much Danille & Matt!

Enjoy the photos!

How adorable is this baby girl? It was so nice to see this sweet family again for Emme’s 6 month session. She is going to be super loved and protected by her two big brothers and the way they interacted with her during this session was so sweet! I love being able to capture the whole family (including pets of course!) during sessions. We got some awesome photos of everyone all together, just mommy & daddy with baby and some sweet portraits of Emme alone too! Her nursery is decorated so beautifully and it’s always one of my favorite spots to photograph :). Her one year old session will be here before we know it and I can’t wait to capture that milestone for her!

It feels like just yesterday I was photographing Jourdan + Frank’s maternity session and now their little bundle of joy is here!!! It was so sweet to welcome Jourdan + Frank into parenthood with this precious home session. Their home is beautiful and baby Frank’s nursery is absolutely adorbs!!! This session was one for the books! Not only is little frank so stinkin’ cute!!! He was also soooo good during our session- he barely made a peep! I’m sure that will all change when I see him next at his 6 month and 1 year old session! I’m so glad this family booked my grow with me package! It’s an honor to be part of this family’s journey and I can’t wait to see how much baby Frank grows!

Throwing it back to Winter with this one! I know no one wants to be thinking about the cold but this is worth it!! Isla’s 1st birthday session was so fun because Allaire State Park was decorated for Christmas! This family booked my grow with me package and one thing I remember about Isla as a newborn is her full head of hair!! And as you can see, she now has the best hair ever!! She is just cute as can be. And her parents are too! They brought along their 4th member of the family for the session. He’s the furry one, lol! I love incorporating the family dog because they truly are apart of the family and make it complete! These moments I have with families are so priceless and I can’t wait to see what the summer has in store! :)

Enjoy the photos!

We had a gorgeous day for baby Giuliana’s 1 year old session! She looked so adorable in all of her outfits, especially the yellow dress that coordinated with mommy and daddy! I had the pleasure of photographing this sweetie pie’s newborn session last year so I was super excited when her momma reached out about doing one year old photos too! Bayonet Farm is the perfect location for these sessions as there are so many beautiful backgrounds and it’s never crowded! Giuliana is just SO cute and she is a baby on the move! She isn’t quite walking on her own but can walk miles holding mommy and dadd’s hand. She has the biggest gummy smile and wasn’t shy about giving them out :). At first she wasn’t quite sure about her cake but once she realized it was yummy she started digging in! I LOVE sessions like these and look forward to capturing more milestones for this family in the future!

Enjoy the photos!

This session was amazing! First of all, how adorable is this family?! I have had the pleasure of photographing this baby girl and her family over the past year as apart of the grow with me package! Seeing this sweet baby girl go from a precious newborn, to a chubby crawling 6 month old, to an adorable almost walking one year old has been such a joy! Every single time I met with this family I leave feeling so thankful for my job and the connections I get to make with families! We did the photo session in their beautiful home and used all of the natural light to our advantage :). Isabelle’s nursery is adorable and was a perfect location for photos. For the cake smash we moved the dining room table over and had plenty of space and natural light to work with. No need for a studio! I absolutely had the best time capturing these milestones for this sweet family and I can’t wait to work with them again!

Enjoy the photos!

A few months ago I had the absolute honor of photographing the birth of this precious baby boy! I missed the actual birth by just 15 minutes!! But was there for nearly two hours afterward and it was such a sweet and special time to capture. I was able to capture the first moments of this family of 5 becoming a family of 6 and I loved everything about it! From the 3 older siblings running in and out of the room with so much joy and excitement about their new baby brother, to the moment Dad got home and met his new baby boy for the first time. Being able to freeze these moments in time is 100% why I love what I do so much. After this session I decided that I would really love to continue capturing these kinds of moments. As a momma of two little ones myself it is not realistic for me to offer brith photography at this particular time given the time sensitive nature of a birth but I CAN totally do Fresh 48 sessions! I am so excited to announce that I have added the Fresh 48 Session to my packages and I can not wait to capture this special time for families. Thank you Alice for giving me this opportunity. You are one AMAZING momma!

I’m so excited to share this couple’s gorgeous maternity session! can’t believe I will be seeing Jourdan + Frank again so soon as little Frank Jr. will be arriving any day now. They booked my grow with me package and I’m really excited to capture all of the adorable milestones in his first year! This maternity session was right in the middle of winter at Natirar Park on a cold and windy day but we made it work and these two were champs! In spite of the weather, the lighting was absolutely gorgeous. The sun was giving off a pretty golden glow that fell so perfectly on them in the big open field. At one point we found a bench with the name Frank on it so of course I had to take a photo of that!! They brought their 4D ultrasound which I was so blown away by. It’s SO amazing to have a photo like that of your baby before they are even born! I will be the photographer for Frank’s brother’s wedding in Jamaica!!! So I get to see this family again in November. YAY! I love when I’m able to connect with clients through referrals! It’s the best :)
