Natirar Park, Peapack Gladstone NJ Engagement Session Photography {Leah & Stephen}

Thursday, April 24, 2014

I am so excited to be photographing Leah and Stephen’s wedding! Leah has assisted me at so many weddings and it is now her turn. And Stephen is the perfect guy for her, he brings out all of Leah’s personality and causes her to forget where she is and just be in the moment, with him. Such a beautiful thing to witness! Here in their words is how they met:

Stephen was sent to train cadets at West Point for the summer of 2012. He had been there for about a week and had some free time to go out and about. Him and some of his new buddies went to checkout the September 11th memorial. Stephen had never been to NYC and didn’t particularly want to but figured he’d check it out. After seeing the memorial the guys went bar hopping throughout the city for the night.

Leah and her best friend who are big hockey fans went into the city that night to watch their 2 teams fight for a spot in the Stanley cup finals. Unfortunately Leah’s team lost. Which lead to bar hopping after the game. Leaving her, her friend and her sister at a bar called the Social bar. Which is where Stephen and his buddies ended up. Which lead to them meeting at that bar and hanging out the rest of the night. When the night had ended and as they were both getting on to their separate trains Stephen asked for her number. The rest is history…

Leah and Stephen, I am truly honored to be photographing your wedding and witnessing as you exchanged vows!!

Bamboo Brook, Far Hills NJ Engagement Session Photography {Lara and Joe}

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Lara and Joe are one of the most relaxed and laid back couples I have had the privilege of photographing! They came into their engagement session without expectations determined to just enjoy their time together. Though it was a little chilly we enjoyed the amazing views, babbling brook and romantic atmosphere at Bamboo Brook. Lara and Joe met while volunteering on a youth trip their mutual friend Jon was running. Apparently Jon (whose wedding I photographed a year or so back) had been trying to get the two to meet for awhile. I really enjoyed my time with them with Lara’s absolute sweet personality and Joe’s carefree sense of humor and loyalty. I am honored to be your wedding photographer Lara and Joe and look forward to your wedding!!

Willowwood Arboretum, Gladstone NJ Engagement Session Photography {Jillian and Franco}

Thursday, April 10, 2014

I am so excited to be photographing Jillian and Franco’s wedding later this year! I had already met them last year while photographing Natalie and Anthony’s wedding. Jillian was one of Natalie’s bridesmaids and reached out to me when Franco proposed to her. Natalie and Anthony stood out to me last year as such a genuine and sweet couple, especially in the way they so naturally engaged one another. Jillian and Franco were exactly the same. Playful and loving with every laugh, word and touch. Here is how they met in their own words:

“It all started at The College of New Jersey in 2008, when Franco’s fraternity and Jillian’s sorority were teamed up together to participate in TCNJ’s Homecoming Spirit Week. On the first night, friends introduced them and they hit it off right away! From day one, they knew they had something special together. “

They wanted to bring some details into the engagement session that fit their personalities and since they love Italy and wine they thought a glass of wine would be appropriate. Such amazing picture of an amazing couple. I am very much looking forward to capturing your wedding day Jillian and Franco!
