Alis and Donnie -Married Running Deer golf club Pittsgrove, NJ

I really love September weddings, because its just when the chaos of the hot humid summer finally settles down leaving us with perfect days for beautiful outdoor weddings. Donnie and Alis really could not have picked a more perfect day for their wedding celebration. We got to shoot at one of my favorite wedding venues,Running Deer Golf Club in Pittsgrove, NJ. They have a great setup for outdoor weddings and cocktail hour. We also got to work with one of our favorite and very talented florist, Savannah’s Garden I am really a bit obsessed with how awesome Alis’s bouquet was, and amoungst the flowers in her bouquet, was her mom’s handkerchief from her own wedding. This wedding was actually a Sunday brunch wedding, so I have to say that serving eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, and a whole spread of lunch foods as well gets an A+ from me. I also can’t help but mention the Red Velvet Cupcakes from Century Bakery, because I got to have one and it tasted even better than it looked. By the end of the day, I felt like we had known Alis, Donnie, and their friends and family for years, and I’m so glad that I got to be part of their special day.

Kristen and Shane Married The Merion Cinnaminson, NJ

I have decided to do something a little different for Kristen and Shane’s wedding debut, and put the photos into a slideshow rather than just posting them here. I will add a few, but check out the slideshow below to see over 90 images that tell the real story of Kristen and Shane’s wedding day. I have to say that Kristen, Shane, and their wedding party were real troopers that day, because it may have been the hottest day of the summer. When we saw the weather was going to be gorgeous and sunny all day I was excited… until I saw the part where it was going to be over 100 degrees all day. The heat didn’t stop anything though, and we were still able to get some great outdoor portraits. The wedding ceremony took place in Maple Shade, and was followed up with a grand reception at The Merion in Cinnaminson, NJ. I wish these two all the best, and I hope that you love the slideshow to your wedding song!

It’s a Girl…Baby Chloe …

Well, if you read the post before this one then you knew that Jenna and Mark were expecting a little one. Last night we got together to get some pictures of their little bundle of joy. Baby Chloe wasn’t too happy about most of our ideas that included taking the binky away, or trying to make her fall asleep, but I was still able to grab some really cute photos of her. I am beyond excited for these two, and they already make great parents. I can’t wait to see Chloe grow and experiance lots of new things. Onto the little cutie pie…

Jenna and Mark Plus 1

A few weeks ago when I took these photos for Jenna and Mark, they were patiently awaiting the arrival of their little bundle of joy. They waited the whole 9 months without finding out the sex of baby which made the anticipation even more exciting. So, the baby is actually already here, but I’m not posting the name or gender. It’s a surprise because tomorrow I am shooting the newborn photos for them, so you will just have to stay tuned to find out if it was a boy or a girl. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you already know that these two are one of my favorite couples, and you may remember their perfect spring wedding last year, which you can check out their wedding photos and slideshow here. I am so lucky to be part of this journey they are on together.

Melissa and Adam- Married Newark, DE

Getting Jiggy With It…. thats really the best way to describe the wedding day of Melissa and Adam. We started off the day with a little Backstreet Boy reminiscing with the girls getting ready, and it set the mood of the rest of the day… Pure fun. Last year when we did the engagement photos of Melissa and Adam, we knew that the wedding was going to be a lively one. The ceremony took place at the United Methodist Church in Newark Delaware and the Reception was held at the Red Clay Room in Kennet Square, PA. When Melissa and Adam entered the reception room, Austin and I set up in our usual spots to capture the first dance… about a minute into the dance the music stopped. I knew right away what was about to happen, so I quickly ran up to the other side of the dance floor to capture a first dance to be remembered. The music switched over to some Will Smith, getting jiggy with it, and Melissa and Adam broke out into a series of dance moves that had the whole place cheering and laughing. We definitely saw some staple dance moves like: the sprinkler, the worm, the dip, the jiggy, etc and ended with a flip. The rest of night was one big party, and I am glad that Austin and I got to be part of it.
