Remington’s Restaurant ~ Manasquan, NJ

Remington’s is an excellent restaurant on Main Street in Manasquan. The co-owner’s Matthew Schmid and Rod Kerr recently launched their website including these photos of their Fall 2010 American Cuisine. Chef Michael Dolan works with the finest local & seasonal ingredients to create these delectable dishes which were a real treat to photograph. Enjoy…

Sweetheart’s…Jill & Christopher

Jill and Chris were a lot of fun to photograph this past fall. They decided they wanted to hang out on the beach in Deal, NJ for their engagement photo despite almost canceling due to nerves, ha. Chris loves surfing and Jill is a yoga instructor so they were able to relax and make the beach their own in no time at all. The evening light hues were just right for their whimsical personalities.  They were married on the Sea Bright beach this past September….photos to be posted soon.

Vermont Lake House Wedding

This past June, a friend and I took a drive and then a ferry to Grand Isle, Vermont to photograph my good friend Stacey’s marriage to Will. The entire wedding was held at a 1903 historic lake house. They chose all local Vermont wild flowers in simple jars for the tables which set a sweet, playful tone for the day. Will’s brother was their wedding officiant as they walked down the outdoor aisle to the musicians playing the Beatles song “In My Life“. Their wedding day came together perfectly and suited Stacey & Will’s style and personality’s just right. It was wonderful to see Stacey so happy and also be there to photograph it all.

Wedding Location: Grand Isle Lake House  in Grand Isle, VT

Florist: Gwen & Minner Hobbs – Flowers in Season South Hero, VT 

Make up: Cynthea – Cynthea’s Spa in Burlington, VT
