Kim and Todd {Married} / New Jersey Wedding Photographer

This was such a fun wedding being able to work with Erin second shooting for me, Kyleigh assisting, and Michael and Michelle doing video. We were able to withstand shooting in 100 degree weather for about an hour outside at the beautiful Mayo Park in Beachwood, but slurpies at 7-11 came quickly afterwards!

Kim and Todd were a great couple to work with and them and their bridal party didn't complain one bit about the heat. Instead, the bridal party took the initiative on their own while we were working with Kim and Todd alone, to pose themselves on a lifeguard stand (perfectly I might add) and wait for the bride and groom to come and join them. Who could ask for a better bridal party?!

EnJOY!!

Maria and Tom {Engaged} / Asbury Park New Jersey Wedding Photographer

Rob and I found ourselves back in Asbury Park for Maria and Tom's E-session, except this time we didn't have to do any breaking and entering to get to the super-sweet wall murals (I guess the construction has moved on a bit). Rob and I had a blast with these two and can't wait for their wedding next year!!

EnJOY!

Meaghan and Ben {Married} / Villanova University and The Knowlton Mansion Pennsylvania Wedding Photographer

I have been looking forward to this wedding for quite some time, especially since Meaghan and Ben took me on a tour of the Villanova University campus. But not as long as they've been looking forward to it! Would you believe they had to plan their wedding 19 months ahead of time just to book the church at it's first available date?! Believe it! Villanova's St. Thomas Catholic Church takes about 18 months on average to reserve, and for good reason! It and the surrounding grounds are incredible. This is, of course, including the tree who's leaves and branches fall all the way to the ground creating an inner sanctuary underneath the tree completely invisible to outsiders. It was like walking into Narnia!

This reception at The Knowlton Mansion was definitely a fun time and I was able to see some old faces including Carla and Doug Skinner who were just married last month. It was such a great day!! Thanks Meaghan and Ben for making me a part of it. :-)

EnJOY!!

This may just be my favorite ring shot I've ever taken!
Purple and green are so much fun together!



Love the parasols!!

The boys loved them too. :-)

Emily and Joe {Married} / The Tides Estate New Jersey Wedding Photographer

I remember the very first time that I met Emily. I liked her from that very moment. Maybe it was the way she was so laid back. Maybe it was because she was ok with my car trouble, losing her phone number and being an hour late for our first meeting. Or maybe it was because she still liked me after that (and hired me)! Whatever it was, I knew we clicked and that we would have a great time at her wedding and that it would be a perfect way to spend my birthday this year.

I know what you're thinking. "You WANT to work on your bday?" Well, I suppose I don't consider it work. Yea, it is hard, yes its frustrating sometimes, yes timing doesn't always work out when the limo driver gets into a car accident on the way to the ceremony (yes, it did happen). But you know what? It's always fun and completely exciting! And what really makes it all worth the while is the look on their faces when I show them their wedding pictures at the reception that very night. Makes all that "work" seem easy and superbly rewarding. :-)

So you may remember Emily and Joe from their engagement session with his sweet motorcycle and really fun images. And just under a month later, here are their wedding photos.

Caroline and David {Engaged} / Gantry Park New York City Queens Wedding Photographer

Rob and I know Caroline and David through Kristin and J from this year's May wedding (J is actually Caroline's brother). For this E-session Rob and I strayed from the norm and journeyed to Queens to Gantry Park, and boy are we sure glad we did! This park was simply glowing with gorgeous light and great little spots to photograph. Not to mention that Caroline and Dave were pretty much glowing themselves!!

Personally, I'm thrilled with their photos, but I'm even more excited to see the engagement session video that Rob puts together for him because just the day before he went to a Ray Roman workshop and came home incredibly inspired and ready to start some new tricks (which he definitely used on this e-session). You probably can wait to see it either, but hopefully the images will satisfy you until then!

EnJOY!!
