Long Island Wedding Photography {Jenn & Jack} Northport NY Wedding

Jenn and Jack's wedding was a dream! This was a super unique wedding as it was not held at a venue but rather a private residence in Long Island with a gorgeous view of the river. I am totally in love with the rose gold color scheme and all of the pretty details included in their day! Jenn looked absolutely stunning in her gown and the flowers from The Flower Basket fit together perfectly! Some of my favorite moments of the day were Jenn's first look with her father, the ring bearer and flower girl being completely adorable at the park, and the romantic ceremony at sunset (seriously could not have been more perfect!). We were able to go to the Yacht Club next-door and use the pier for some bride and groom portraits with that amazing golden sunlight! It was so neat to see how they used the entire property for the wedding, from the tables scattered through the yard to the dance floor on the 2nd level, it's like this house was made to host a wedding! Guests enjoyed a fantastic night while This is it Entertainment kept the dance floor packed. I am so happy for these two and it was such a pleasure to capture their special day!

Congratulations Jenn & Jack! Enjoy the photos :)

I am crazy about this wedding! Every detail was simply beautiful, a perfect reflection of this equally beautiful couple :) I had been so excited about Carmella & John's wedding ever since she first reached out well over a year ago. I could tell right away they were a couple I would love to work with and after their engagement session in Point Pleasant last year I was even more excited! These two are so kind, light-hearted and incredibly sweet together. My associate and I had the pleasure of working with both families on family sessions before their big day, so we already knew them going in to it, which made the day even more special for us! They both have such wonderful families and I knew this day would be an emotional one filled with so much love! The morning started the ball rolling with lots of tears of joy and laughter while they were reading the letters and opening the gifts they had for each other. After a beautiful ceremony at my favorite church, Saint Aloysius Church, we headed over to LBI for the bridal portraits at Sunset Park. It was a bit windy by the water but that didn't stop everyone from enjoying every moment! John and Carmella's portraits there are some of my favorite ever! We also had the pleasure of working with an awesome videographer, Tim from Studio 94, who did an incredible job capturing their wedding day. Check out the video here! John and Carmella's reception was held at the The Stateroom of Long Beach Island, which is a beautiful venue and perfectly complimented their beach/nautical theme. The night started with the touching first dances and speeches which had the tears flowing again. We were even able to sneak out just in time to catch a few portraits with the stunning sunset behind them. The rest of the night was a ball and I saw some of the best dancing that I've ever seen from guests at a wedding. Even all the kids were getting in on the fun! It was just such an honor to capture this incredible wedding!

Congratulations John & Carmella!

This wedding was awesome! Super unique and fun :). From the very first time I met Kristen & Corey I knew their wedding was going to be amazing. One, because they are such an awesome couple and I felt so comfortable with them right away, and two because they were planning a boardwalk/shore themed wedding at the gorgeous 

Hyatt Regency

 in Jersey City.

City and Shore, the best of both worlds!

I could not get over the details in this wedding! I mean Unicorn shoes (and purse)...so much fun! I also loved all of the different shades of pink incorporated in so many of the details, especially her stunning dress!

Kristen and Corey shared their first look with the beautiful NYC skyline behind them followed by some amazing bridal portraits around the Hyatt Regency.

After a beautiful outdoor ceremony with some sweet, heartfelt wedding vows, guests enjoyed a lively cocktail hour complete with boardwalk games, a photo-booth, and a live band! One of my favorite details was the cupcake ferris wheel center pieces. The whole night was filled with laughter, happy tears, and lots & lots of dancing!

Congratulations Kristen & Corey, thank you for choosing me to capture your special day!

New Jersey Beach Inspired Wedding Photography {NJ Wedding Photography}

It's finally here! Our 2nd styled wedding shoot of the summer! If you missed the first one you can check it out

here

. Growing up along the Jersey Shore I have always had a love for all things beach related. We decided to go for a chic romantic beach theme with a light and airy feel for this shoot. I loved Dovetails Vintage Rental's lobster trap that our event planner,

Ally Dwyer,

re-purposed into a dreamy table for two for our models. The gorgeous floral arrangements were done by

Something Nice Floral Designs

. They were able to completely capture the feel for the shoot with the soft tones in each bouquet. (They also did floral arrangements for my own wedding and it was wonderful to be able to work with them again!) The beautiful table cards and menus were designed by

Jessica Chepauskas

,

and perfectly complimented the greens and purples incorporated in the table. We went all over with our models looking for romantic spots to shoot along the shore! This shoot was so much fun and I absolutely love how it came out! 

Our amazing team!

Baby Michael {Newborn Session} NJ Newborn Photography

Baby Michaels newborn session took place right before Christmas! There was a beautiful fire place in the home all decorated which made the perfect background for the photos :). Never before have I worked with a dog that was so easy going and willing to be in photos before. This precious pup laid down right next to Michael, it was the cutest thing! This family is so sweet and I was so happy I was able to capture this special time for them!

Enjoy the photos!
