Jacqueline + Greg // Lake House Inn Winter Wedding

December 24, 2019

I could not have asked for a better way to end my 2019 season than to celebrate with my favorite family! I have known Greg’s family for seven years now and am beyond proud to say that I have photographed each of the siblings weddings! Seeing Mama and Papa Reed just lights up my day. I cannot tell you what it means to me to be a part of this family’s story and to celebrate all of their engagements, weddings, births and everything in between.

So I first met Greg at his brother Jerry’s wedding. (I love that we recreated an image from his wedding day!) I didn’t know it at the time but Greg and Jacqueline had really just started dating and soon after jetted off to Hawaii for a month as soon as they met! What can I say – when you know, you know.

When I first met Jacqueline it was when they got engaged and obviously I was ELATED. Like, I’ve just been waiting my whole life for Greg to hurry up and marry you. And she is just the sweetest! They will make the cutest babies ;)

Jacqueline and Greg’s wedding at The Lake House Inn was just gorgeous during the winter with florals from Petals Lane. We had a great team of people from Jeffrey Miller Catering. I absolutely adore our DJ’s Anthony and Vince from East Coast Event Group.

For real, this was the BEST. DAY. EVER. Jacqueline and Greg, I can’t thank you enough for asking me to celebrate with you and your families and I wish you all the best! Congrats you guys!!

Emma + Dave – Fall Wedding at Avalon Yacht Club

October 11, 2019

Emma and Dave’s wedding at Avalon Yacht Club was the perfect start to my Fall wedding season. They are just so cute and quirky together and their families, so sweet. When Dave was growing up, his brother tells us that Dave used to visit the Wetland’s Institute in Stone Harbor, NJ and save baby sea turtles. I bet he never thought he’d be there on his wedding day romancing his new wife with that smolder he’s been workin’ on. ;)

I LOVED Emma’s dusty blue shoes and her bridesmaids soft pink and plum dresses. And the super cute lantern escort table made everything just glow. I’m at Avalon Yacht Club quite a bit and it’s always a wonderful experience. Perfect sunset every time!

Dave and Emma, I hope you guys stay weird together forever.

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

Alex + Alex // Intimate rainy Summer Valenzano Winery Wedding

February 4, 2019

The sun is out today and it feels amazing!! Reminded me of this intimate rainy summer wedding I photographed this past summer. Alex and Alex’s wedding was at Valenzano Winery one late summer afternoon. They brought along their super cute pomsky Milo to celebrate the day with everyone!

The day was hot and the rain started to creep in right as they began their ceremony! Not a problem, it held off until their first dance when Alex grabbed his new wife and spun her out onto the open dance floor and danced in the rain!! It was perfect! Eventually the sun came out again and we ran through the field taking photos of the late summer sun drinking moonshine. It was the perfect summer wedding ;)

Mallory + Michael // Classic Wedding Manasquan River Golf Club

December 19, 2018

Mallory and Michael’s classic wedding day this Fall was just GORGEOUS! Their families were so welcoming and the team of vendors that we worked with were nothing short of amazing!

Mallory’s bridal bouquet and all of the florals by Kerry Patel Designs were just so breathtaking! Her planner Mallory of Mallory Weiss Planning made the day run so smoothly.

I always love to talk to the father of the bride on a wedding day while the bride is getting ready. I had a few moments to steal away with Mallory’s dad and he told me she is one of four girls and was the last wedding they would be planning. He was so proud to see her walk down the stairs and see her in her wedding gown.

The ceremony was held at the little Church in Brielle, just down the road from Manasquan River Golf Club where their reception was held.

The bridal party was stunning in their navy suits and maroon dresses. Along with the soft little touches of their bouquets and boutenniere’s. Perfection! We had the best time photographing Mallory and Michael despite Michael’s nerves about being in front of my camera ;)

Mallory danced her way into her reception wearing her Texas pride and of course, they repped Villanova!

What a spectacular day!

A special thank you to all of the people who made this day perfect!
