Baby Peyton, Newborn Christmas Photos

I am so excited to be posting these photos of baby Peyton. Last year I shot the wedding of her parents Alison and John, and earlier this year we photographed her aunt Dani and uncle Jimmy’s wedding. When I saw Ali at the rehearsal for Dani’s wedding in April she told me that she was pregnant. I was so excited for them, because I knew that Ali and John were going to make great parents. Days after Peyton was born, I got an e-mail from Ali asking if I could do some photos of the baby. Even though I am super busy, I knew there was no way I was going to miss out on this. I love babies, and this little one happened to be exceptionally cute. Congratulations to Alison and John on their new little bundle of joy, and the great family that Peyton has to look forward to being part of.

Surprise Proposal Shoot- Pat and Hillary Voorhees, NJ

Earlier this week I got a message from my friend Shannon asking me if I would do a proposal shoot for she and her boyfriend George’s friend Pat who was proposing to his girlfriend Hillary this Saturday. Now, of course I was up for it, because this would be my first proposal shoot, and something totally different from all the other shoots I have done. George and his friends helped Pat plan the proposal, and came up with the idea to have George call Pat and tell him that he wanted him to meet him out at the Main Street pub after dinner because he had an “imaginary” quarrel with his girlfriend Shannon. So, Pat planned a nice dinner over in Center City Philadelphia, stopped in a Martini bar and walked around Christmas village. Meanwhile, Austin and I had already arrived at the Main Street Pub to plan out where we were going to hide for their arrival. Needless to say, Pat was about 40 minutes late, and it was 36 degrees outside. Austin and I hid in the bushes and behind a fountain wall for over an hour waiting for them to arrive in the freezing cold. When they arrived, Hillary had absolutly no idea, and as soon as Pat started to get down on one knee, we popped out of our hiding spots and started shooting. At the same time, many of Pat’s and Hillary’s family and friends came out from the pub cheering and spraying champagne. Congrats Pat and Hillary!

Jessica and Trent- Married Terra Nova Sewell, NJ

We met Jessica and Trent through one of our favorite hair stylists, Dawn, who had done the updo’s of a few of my brides, and worked with me at a boudoir model photoshoot in Philadelphia. When Dawn contacted me and told me that she wanted me to shoot her twin sister Jessica’s wedding this November, I was both flattered and excited. Jessica and Trent actually had 2 weddings. The first wedding was in St. Lucia at the Sandals resort. Then, Jessica and Trent had this wedding when they got home a couple weeks later so that all of their loved ones could see them get married and celebrate with them. We are so grateful that we were part of their day. The reception was held at Terra Nova in Sewell, NJ. This whole family was full of energy, and we are so glad that Jessica and Trent had a wedding that they could share with family and friends.

Felicia and Weston- Married Luciens Manor Berlin, NJ

Ever since Felicia and Weston’s engagement session we have been looking forward to this wedding. These two are great in front of the camera, and being around them feels like hanging out with friends that we have known for years.

The ceremony was held at the Kingston christian church in Cherry Hill, NJ and was followed by the reception at Luciens Manor in Berlin, NJ. The room that Felicia and Weston chose was gorgeous and the tables were decorated with candy apples and red roses. I can’t even begin to explain how stunning Felicia looked. The look on Weston’s face as she was walking down the aisle was priceless, and the whole place was teary-eyed. It was so nice to be able to capture the wedding day of these two high school sweethearts.

Jenny and Mike- Married Valleybrook Country Club Blackwood, NJ

Last weekend Austin and I spent the day shooting the wedding of one of our favorite couples, Jenny and Mike. These two are so much fun to be around, and all they were worried about all day was that their guests were going to have a great time. While Jenny was getting ready she asked me if I was going to be dancing at the reception. I told her that I would be working, but she was insistent that she would get me out on the dance floor at some point in the night. Even despite everything going on, Jenny didn’t forget, and she pulled me out onto the dance floor with her. She wanted to make sure that even though I was working, that we were having a good time. That is just the kind of people that Jenny and Mike are, and they truly care about their family and friends.

The ceremony was held outside at the Valleybook Country Club, and was aisle was decorated in colorful mums and rose petals. Jenny made a stunning bride, and she was one of the happiest brides I have ever been around. They had an extended reception, because they knew it was going to be quite a party. The dance floor was packed until the very last song of the night, and . This couple really has something special, and Austin and I hope to be seeing them much more after they get home from their honeymoon in Jamaica.
