Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 2:39PM Christopher and Arzo were married at St. Aloysius Church in Caldwell, NJ with their reception following at Maritime Parc in Liberty State Park. The sun sets early this time of year, but thankfully Chris and Arzo were good sports and we willing to go outside in the cold for a few quick night time portraits! Congratulations Chris and Arzo!
Monday, October 17, 2011 at 8:18PM Adam and Jessica were married at the beautiful Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, New Jersey. The details were gorgeous and reflected the fall colors, complete with oranges, yellows and pumpkins and apples everywhere.
Adam and Jessica planned to have their ceremony outside, but it was raining off and on all day. Right before the ceremony was to begin, the rain stopped and they decided to go through with doing the ceremony outdoors. The guests were seated and as we were waiting for the processional to begin, it started to mist a little, but nothing too bad. Just as Jessica was coming down the aisle, the rain started to pick up again, and of course at this point it was too late to move everyone indoors. I admire Jessica for seeing the humor in the situation. Not every bride could handle this, but she did with grace and as we all know, rain on your wedding day is good luck! For me, this marked the first time I photographed a wedding ceremony outdoors in the rain and also the first time I used my reflector as an umbrella to cover the bride! Luckily, I had my assistant, Cindy Davies, there to hold an umbrella over me most of the ceremony! Many thanks to both Cindy and my second shooter, Jordan Van Aken, for all their hard work that day.
Congratulations Adam and Jessica!
I love the next few shots of the wedding guests shielding themselves from the rain...

Friday, July 22, 2011 at 10:29PM I met up with Lindsay and Nick in Lindsay's home town of Vernon, New Jersey. Lindsay said she was a country girl, and she meant it. We found some great locations just down the road from her parent's house, including a local farm complete with a red barn! These two are so cute together and I can't wait for their wedding next June!
Wednesday, July 13, 2011 at 11:59AM Kelly and Scott were married at David's Country Inn in New Jersey. The July afternoon brought rain, but David's Country Inn is a beautiful old home with a lot of history, so we had a ton of great locations within the Inn to work with for portraits. Congratulations Kelly and Scott!
Special thanks to my second shooter, Maggie McGill!
Monday, June 20, 2011 at 10:48AM Danielle and Brian were married on a gorgeous June morning at St. Stephen's Church in Kearny, NJ with their reception following at The Park Savoy in Florham Park, NJ. Congratulations Danielle and Brian!
Thanks so much to my second shooter, Jennifer Davis!
I love this moment captured just after the family broke from a group portrait. This is Grandma surrounded by all of her grandchildren.
