Nicole and Vince | Hayfield Wedding | Catskills Wedding Photographer

 

Mother Nature kept us all at the edge of our seats…

But the sun and the clouds worked together and gave us two minutes of magic light, just when we needed it most! Mother Nature held that rain in until all of their guests were safely on the dance floor, then she let it pour! Everyone was having such a good time, that it didn’t matter.

Every detail was thoughtful and perfectly executed. From the bride’s shoes to the table scapes, Nicole had a vision. And it all came together seamlessly!

 

Everyone couldn’t help but to remark on this gorgeous and unique space. Hayfield is unlike any other wedding “venue” I have worked at before, because it doesn’t feel like a venue at all! Just a beautiful barn, in the middle of a beautiful field.

I got to meet a new friend too! Working with this DJ was such a pleasure, and he had the dance floor packed all night long!

Engagement Shoot | Jersey City Photographer

Just across the river from Manhattan...

Cozied up in their favorite blanket (They picked it up on one of their travels together.), they sip some champagne with that New York City view. They met in Hoboken, and now call Downtown Jersey City home. These collage sweethearts sure know how to enjoy the simple moments together.

 
 

Kaitlyn and Eric | The Ryland Inn Wedding | Hunterdon County Wedding Photographer

 

A farm to table, modern farmhouse wedding.

Kaitlyn went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included and important on their wedding day. The happy tears and smiles were flowing from morning to night! Eric isn’t one for getting his photos taken, but for his wife, he won’t say no.

 
 

Engagement Shoot | Basilica Hudson Photographer

Basilica Hudson offers the abundant natural light and texture!

And these two brought all the steamy love! Throw down a fur, and pop a bottle of champagne and even an empty warehouse will feel like home.

 
 

Bethany and Matt | Point Pleasant Wedding Photographer | Lobster Shanty Beach Wedding

 

Her smile is one that you will never forget!

Talk about a down to earth couple, who’s number one goal is to have the time of their lives together! During their church ceremony they couldn’t keep their eyes and hands off each other.

And the day wouldn’t be complete without a quick stop over to their favorite local bar, to play a quick game of shuffleboard, and have a few beers with friends.

 
 
 

Clarissa and Verne | Outdoor Wedding Photographer | Stroudmoor Country Inn Wedding

 

He is her rock, and she is the sweetness that makes life worth living!

Clarissa and Verne wanted to escape their busy Brooklyn lives and wrap themselves up in, lush, green nature, as they said… Be mine forever!

 

I had such an amazing time getting to know Clarissa, I feel like our whole conversations sounds like, “I know! Right!?”. And in my humble opinion, Verne could be an example to all men, as to how to treat a lady. It’s so wonderful when you are totally on the same page as a couple, and I know that I can make their wedding experience smooth, comfortable, and stress free.

 

Central Park Engagement Photos | NYC |Summer 2018

Take a stroll around Central Park and let all of that green wrap around you! Then, grab your bikes and go for a ride!

A dynamic and active couple like Clarissa and Verne, can’t just have one outfit! After the fancy stuff, they grabbed their bikes and we got to capture one of things that makes their relationship so special. Getting outside and staying fit, and enjoying New York City.

 
 

Jessica and Marty | Brandywine Manor House Photographer | Chester County Wedding Photographer

 

A little bit of rustic and a little bit of chic!

Despite being effortlessly beautiful, Jess doesn’t like to have her photos taken! And that is common. I did my best to disappear into the background and let these lovely lovely moments just unfold in front of my camera.

One of the moments that I loved most throughout this day was, the first look with the Bride’s dad. He couldn’t stop the tears, even before seeing his daughter! And the love could be felt so strong all day, and through the night.

 

I loved taking wedding photos at the Brandywine Manor House! It is a hidden gem just over the border from New Jersey. This gorgeous farm is the perfect place for a low key wedding that is 100% class.

 
 

Amanda and Scott | Waterloo Village Wedding Photographer | Rustic North New Jersey Wedding

 

I love happy tears!

Emotions of pure joy were flowing all day long! I am not pointing any fingers, but I’m pretty sure mom started it! But with the sweetest two people, surrounded by all of their friends, on the perfect early spring day… it was one of those weddings that left you feeling warm inside for weeks to come.

 

After all the wedding fun, Scott and Amanda set off to an adventurous honeymoon, in South Africa!

 

Brooklyn Engagement Photos | Brooklyn New York

Just around the corner from their Brooklyn apartment…

You don’t have to go far to capture your engagement photos. We took a quick stroll around the city to work up a little appetite! After their shoot, we sat down together at their favorite brunch spot, and talked about their wedding plans. And before we knew it, that day had arrived!

 
 

Toni and Al | Dominican Republic Destination Wedding | Punta Cana Wedding Photographer

 

Kissing under palm trees, and dancing under the stars.

Are we in paradise? Is this bride an angel? Never have I met someone who was as selfless and caring as Toni. And as much as Al loves to have a few beers with his friends poolside, it is clear, that when it comes to his beautiful bride, nothing makes him happier!

I can’t get enough of this tropical, green foliage, or the turquoise water. The Dominican Republic is a wedding destination for a reason!

 

After this wedding, I wished that all dance floors were outside under the endless blue sky. There was a few passing rain clouds during the reception, as guests stood back from the rain, the band kept playing! And before we knew it, the clouds drifted past and the party continued!

Renee and Javier | The Estate Yountville Photographer | Napa Valley Wedding Photographer

 

A romantic European destination wedding, right in America's back yard.

Renee and Javier have an authentic kind of love that is as real and as rustic as it gets. You won't catch them sugar coating anything for anyone. But, their hearts are pure gold, and they are the first to sacrifice their time for a friend in need. They would settle for nothing short of perfection for their guests, and served the finest wine, chocolates, and deserts. But that wasn't why friends and family flew in from all over the country. Javier and Renee are two of the most generous loving and warm people you will ever meet, and nobody wanted to miss this day!

 
 

Foodie Wedding Photographer | Napa Food

Chocolate basically controls my everyday life…

Never before have I seen such a gorgeous chocolate table! Javier and Renee are always about quality and the real deal! Kollar Chocolates were the perfect detail to make you feel like you were at a celebrity wedding. Cocktail hour also gets five stars in my book!

Welcome Dinner at Ottimo | Yountville, CA | Napa Valley Wedding

A glass of wine here made me change my mind about all of the bottles of wine I tasted in the past! An upscale intimate gathering that will make anyone think they were in Italy! Javier and Renee wanted to thank their guest for traveling all the way from New Jersey, and they pulled out all the stops.

 
 

Monica and Chris | Montego Bay Jamaica | Hayatt Ziva Rose Hall Wedding | Destination Photographer

 

Soulful, Laid Back, and Refined

Monica and Chris have known for many years they wanted to be together. So, when their officiant forgot their vows at their ceremony, it wasn't hard for them to openly speak from the heart about why they are happy to be marrying their perfect partner. It was a blessing in desguise, and a moment I was happy I got to witness.

 

There is something special about destination weddings. Not only do you and your loved ones take a trip to paradise, but your wedding day becomes a wedding weekend! Monica and Chris spent the days leading up to their wedding, poolside with friends and family, drink in hand and the smell of Jamaican barbecue wafting in the air.

 
 

Sarah and Matt | Pearl S. Buck Estate | Bucks County Wedding Photographer

 

A historic, rustic, tent wedding, with gardens and fresh air all around!

These soulmates were together for 12 years before their wedding day. Still tears came rushing to his eyes when he saw his beautiful bride. There is a comfort that can be felt whenever these two are together!

 

Sarah and Matt wanted a low key wedding where they could enjoy nature and have a good time with their guests. Farm to table food, sunshine, and the sound of the stream trickling through the gardens… Taking wedding photos at the Jamie Hollander Pearl S. Buck Estate is a dream!

 
 

Charisse and Ames | Basking Ridge Country Club Photographer | Basking Ridge Wedding | New Jersey

 

When two devoted, loving, funny people meet and fall in love… it is magic!

This ceremony has to be my favorite, out of the hundreds of weddings that I have photographed! Pure emotion and love was overflowing from everyone!

 

The ceremony took place at the bride’s church in Lyndhurst New Jersey. Then, off to the Basking Ridge Country Club for an elegant tent wedding… And, I still think about the mac and cheese at cocktail hour!

And today, these two are amazing parents to their growing little family!

 

Gym Engagement Shoot | Montclair New Jersey Photographer

Nothing says love like kettlebells and rope climbs!

While these two can dress up and look pretty, they are most comfortable in work boots and a bun! The only thing stronger than Ames’ legs, is their love for each other and their families. When you are around these two it is a guarantee that you will be laughing non stop!

 
 

Leigh Ann and John | The University Club of New York | NYC Wedding Photographer

 

College sweethearts with that New York swagger.

A black tie affair in the big city. If you thought dress one was stunning, wait until you see dress number two!

Leigh Ann and John don’t like posed photos at all! They like to stay in the moment, and have a good time. So that is exactly what we did! And the Silver Arrow Band had everyone on the dance floor until the very last song!

 

University Club of New York is the perfect venue for a Manhattan wedding! We popped right over to Grand Central Station for some photos with the wedding party. Elegant with that timeless New York charm.

 
 

Sumana and John | San Francisco Wedding | Bicoastal Wedding Photographer

 

A multicultural celebration of love and life.

After photographing this wedding, I told myself that I wanted an Indian wedding! The symbolism, the colors, the casual feel, and the inclusion of all the family members to not just witness, but to take part in the ceremony…. I loved all of it!

After some beautiful and emotional toasts, everyone let loose and had the time of their lives on the dance floor!

 

It was a sunny and warm day in San Francisco, California, the perfect day for a wedding! Sumana and John brought together their families from all over the country. The garden was the perfect location for their Hindu ceremony.

This was my first trip to the west coast, and my very first destination wedding. I took full advantage and traveled around San Francisco, as well as the beautiful redwoods.

 
 

Nini and Cliff | Family Farm Wedding | Catskills Wedding Photographer

 

Backyard weddings are always the most unforgettable!

Nini pulled out the paper with her vows only to realize it was her shopping list. (Yup! Like- Soda, Ice, Chips…) So her real vows must be somewhere in the kitchen or car, who knows. But when you love someone the way these two do, it’s easy to go off the cuff.

With the view of the Hudson Valley, stone walls, and tall grass, this back yard was made for weddings! Plus, dogs are always welcome at the upstate family farm!

 

Not a fan of stiff family photos? Us either! Nini and Cliff had a blast taking pictures with their family and friends. You can see the joy, and feel the warmth.
