Jillian & Ricky ~ Spring Lake Bath & Tennis Club, NJ photographer

04.25.16 Posted in Weddings

Jillian and Ricky love everything related to the ocean, are both athletic and very much in love 🙂 So they planned a wedding day that suited their personalities perfectly. They had their first look on the Breaker’s Hotel large front porch before we shot sunny boardwalk portraits. Then they had their ceremony on the top deck at the Spring Lake Bath & Tennis Club over looking the ocean 🙂 These college sweethearts had quite a beautiful day. I wish them all the best and loved being their photographer!

Meghan & Kevin’s Wedding ~ David’s Country Inn, NJ Photographer

02.11.16 Posted in Weddings

Meghan & Kevin share a love for fantasy, Sci-Fi and cats…so a Halloween themed wedding on October 31st at David’s Country Inn suited them perfectly 🙂 They had masquerade masks, hand carved pumpkins, black cats, spooky signs, black dresses and Halloween candy jars on every table. Kevin is a graphic designer so he created the black invites and candy gift bags. Meghan got a hint of her love for Harry Potter through her special styled converse sneakers and she later surprised Kevin revealing her Star Wars leggings on the dance floor during the garter 🙂

It was such a cool party with the guests having fun wearing masks and as the night got late many wore vampire teeth. My face hurt from smiling so much during the party. These two are a perfect match!

It was so great to be their wedding photographer! I got to be Kevin’s B&W film photography professor at Monmouth University years ago… so it was especially wonderful to be able to see him get married!

Melissa & Christian’s Wedding ~Philadelphia, PA

02.05.16 Posted in Weddings

Melissa & Christian are this super creative, playful, sweet couple that planned an intimate Philadelphia wedding. I have never seen so many tears during as wedding ceremony as I have at their wedding. There was a single sky light that beautifully lite their ceremony (by artist James Turrell). All the details at the party were hand made by the bride & groom… signs, wine bottle labels, decorated rocks, lanterns, mini pins & more. They made it quite a special day and I was so happy to be there to photograph it! Melissa, Patch & I are all University of the Arts alumni 🙂
