One thing I have learned from planning my wedding is not to let the influences of others steer you away from what you truly want. Ever since I was a little girl, I imagined this romantic, elegant, and love-filled wedding. But I never thought about how much everything cost until it was my turn to […]
I had the pleasure of capturing Samantha and Jason’s engagement session at Happy Place Party Ponies in Palm City, Florida! We had horses, smoke bombs, glorious sunsets, horse pastures, and a motorcycle! How could a session get any better than that?! Despite the fact that I could not for the life of me get […]
I met Tristian through one of my free engagement sessions giveaways that I was running at the end of 2019. When I run the free engagement session giveaways, I am looking for couples that I can try out new ideas on, such as poses and locations. Part of the process is I review everyone’s files […]
As I create this collection of images, I reflect on the amazing times I was able to share with all my couples in some amazing placing, some new and some revisited. 2019 was an amazing year where I really started to learn my style and how I wanted my business in the wedding industry to […]
I had always wanted to do a Christmas themed engagement session so when Tiffany and Michael told me they wanted to do their engagement session in a Christmas Tree Farm I was estatic! We went to White Dog Christmas Tree Farms for the session, which had the most beautiful, full, and perfectly shaped Christmas trees! […]
Nick asked me to photograph his proposal to Rosie about a month before it actually happens and I was so excited and anxious when the day came! I always get anxious before capturing proposals I think because my couple’s nervousness rubs off onto me as well as just an adrenaline rush!Rosie is a local photographer […]
I didn’t meet Kevin or Sam until the wedding day, but I knew just from our talk on the phone we would flow very well with each other! They were referred to me from a past couple of mine, Kris and Sam (thank you!). My day started with Kevin and the guys, which by the […]
I was Jessee and Vanessa’s wedding photographer back in May of 2018. When Vanessa reached out to me to see if I would do a family session of them with their new baby girl Penelope I was so ecstatic! We went back to Allaire State Park, were Jessee and Vanessa got married! On their wedding […]
It was such a beautiful October day for Jackie and Jay’s wedding! It started off with an adorable first look (just look at Jay’s reaction below!) followed by a few portraits on the beach before their ceremony. Jackie and Jay wanted to keep things pretty simple, nothing too crazy as far as the “traditional” wedding […]
The first time I met Ariel and Curt was during their engagement session. Not only did I get to work with them, but I also had the chance to take some shots of their wonderful boys too, Brandon and Jackson! They decided to have their session on Curt’s parents’ property in Wantage NJ. His parents’ […]
The sun definitely did not want to come out for Nicole and Danny’s engagement session, but that did not stop us from having a super fun time! Our session was at Sayen House and Gardens and was filled with so much laughter and love! Sayen House and Gardens feature so many scenic options such as […]
Leather jackets and beer chugging was how Sassy and Sebastian planned their grand exit after they were pronounced husband and wife! Let me say that if I only shot backyard weddings for the rest of my career, I would be the happiest photographer that ever existed! Something about backyard weddings have the most laid back […]
If you were not told, you would have had no idea that Amanda and Will were Autistic… Amanda has Autism and Will has Asperger’s. Their wedding stuck with tradition. I did not get any of the standard prep shots we are used to seeing nowadays. I did not get any fancy poses or “epic” shots. […]
I never had the chance to meet Charles before the wedding but I did meet Fliecea and her father during our consult. I had absolutely no idea the Fliecea was pregnant at the time and when I found out a few weeks before the wedding they had a little baby girl I was over the […]
Batsto Village is a favorite of mine for an engagement session for multiple reasons. A few being that it is free to shoot there (no permit is required), there are multiple variations to shoot at, and it is never crowded. Even with a 2-hour session, we barely explored the area because it is so huge! […]
I have been wanting to shoot a wedding at Skylands Manor for a few years now and I am thrilled to finally check it off my bucket list of venues! I met Natasha and Doug from one of my free engagement session giveaways. Although we never had the chance to officially meet until their wedding […]
I knew we were going to be a great fit because Stephanie and Nick are getting married the same year I will be getting married, just a few months later! For the record, we 2021 couples are the best 😀 Our beach session turned into a pretty fun time despite the wind, chilliness, and super […]
Not only did I have the pleasure of capturing Eric and Sam’s engagement session, but also the proposal! I was a little worried about the weather earlier in the day. It looked like it was going to be a rainy day and Sam told me the beach was super hazy earlier in the day. After […]
Unless you have your heart set on shaking the hands of 200 plus guests, feel free to trash this super time-consuming tradition. If you are able to go to your cocktail hour, that is the perfect time to mingle with your guests and doesn’t take up any extra time! So What Is A Receiving Line? […]
