Sarah and Chris' Wedding!!

This was my last wedding of the "season" (not too worry, my first of next season is pretty quick starting on January 9th!) and it was great! I was able to share it with my fiance, Rob Adams, and had Andres Valenzuela second shooting with me and even bribed the soon-to-be wedding photographer extraordinaire, Brielle (aka my MoH) to dust off the the old camera. :-)

It was a beautiful winter wedding with Christmas spirit everywhere but warm enough to take a few outside pictures. There was a really beautiful moment shared when Sarah surprised her mother by wearing her shoes; it definitely choked me up a little bit! We ended at the Shadowbrook the Shrewsbury, a perfect place for a winter wedding with the fireplace in the room and everything so beautifully decorated.

EnJOY!






































Melissa and Mike's ESession!

I was so looking forwad to this engagement session when Melissa told me about her fiance, Mike, being a racecar driver. How exciting!! Unfortunately, we weren't able to use the track or his racing car for the pictures, but we were able to snag a few with his Mustang before heading over to Allaire State Park for some great photos. I can't wait until they're wedding next year in beautiful October!!

EnJOY!!

Jamie and Kevin's E-Session

Jamie and Kevin had a wonderful engagement session in Central Park right before Thanksgiving. Central Park is such a great place to shoot, but especially during this time of the year because for some reason it holds it's foliage longer than other areas in Jersey. We able to get some great bright colors and even a magnificent sky (which Jamie mentioned that she loves)!

EnJOY!!

Megan and Rod's Wedding Album!

Here are a few BEAUTIFUL designs from Megan and Rod's Wedding Album. And don't worry, I'm not tooting my own horn! I actually recently decided to outsource my wedding albums. Why? Because I enjoy being a master of photography, not graphic art. :-) So I send my albums to masters of wedding albums and I couldn't be happier with the result!! Thank you Dani!!!!

A Big Thanks!

There is something to be said about networking with other photographers. When I say networking, I don't mean walking around an event and handing out as many different business cards to as many different people that you can with about the warmth of a blizzard. Networking, and truly caring, or being a Lovecat (Love Is the Killer App), is what really makes a positive difference not only in your life but in the lives of others.

There have been many great photographers that have greatly influenced my life in wedding photography such as David Jay, Kenny Kim, Andres Valenzuela, John Heyn, Ahmet, Marissa Levin and so many more. I've found that the more I practice being a Lovecat, the more everyone benefits around me and the happier everyone is. :-)

A big thanks to a recent friend, Michael Grubb, who discovered me and just had the nicest things to say. He even posted about me on his blog here. Definitely check it out and take some time to stop by and say hi and be a Lovecat yourself!!
