Eagle Oaks Country Club, Farmingdale NJ Wedding Photographer {Rachel and Alan}

Wednesday, December 18, 2013

Rachel and Alan are married! The two met through Rachel’s friend Amanda who thought they would be perfect for one another. And they are! They look at one another and you can tell they know exactly what the other is thinking, and huge smiles would follow, or they would just make faces at each other to elicit a laugh. They were married at the beautiful Eagle Oaks Country Club in Farmingdale, NJ surrounded by loving family and friends. The country club was a beautiful setting for a fall day and Rachel was an absolutely radiant bride. Congratulations Rachel and Alan!!

Liberty House, Jersey City NJ Wedding Photographer {Alicia and Mike}

Wednesday, December 11, 2013

Mike told his future Best Man about the amazing girl he met. He asked, “When can I meet her?” Mike replied, “As soon as I meet her first!” At least that is how one of his Best Men, Nick, affectionately tells the story. Alicia and Mike met through mutual friends and first started to get to know each other over email. Then when they got together these two foodies immediately bonded over their love for a good meal!

Alicia and Mike are wonderful couple. You can easily see how much they care for each other in how lovingly they treat one another. I loved seeing how Mike looked at his bride so enamored with her all throughout the day. And how Alicia would often burst out laughing as she and Mike joked around and just enjoyed being together on this special day. Alicia and Mike, we are so happy for you two and wish you a lifetime of good food and happiness together!

Bamboo Brook, Far Hills NJ Engagement Session Photographer {Irene and Todd}

Monday, December 9, 2013

Irene and Todd met at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota while attending classes there. Irene couldn’t help but notice the tall guy with a distinct mohawk and thoughtful responses but he didn’t notice her until their second class together the following semester. Todd asked her to study with him and soon after for a date.

I truly enjoyed being around this wonderful couple. I had such a hard time choosing my favorites for this blog post, there were so many. Irene and Todd’s love and respect for one another was obvious and inspiring and I am looking forward to photographing their wedding next year!!

The Rockleigh, Rockleigh NJ Wedding Photographer {Jung and Kevin}

Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Jung and Kevin met at work when Kevin first came in for an interview. Kevin got the job and they spent the next few years working closely together and building a strong friendship. They not only helped each other with the difficulties of work but Jung helped Kevin with relationships and Kevin helped Jung get through thyroid cancer and treatment. Their friendship continued to grow and one night after teaching Jung to play golf, Kevin confessed his feelings for her. Now Jung and Kevin are officially husband and wife!

Jung and Kevin are both sweet and loving people. During her toast, Jung’s sister and Maid-of-honor, described just how giving the two of them are as individuals and together. And during the Best Man’s toast, he admired them for being such caring people. Jung and Kevin make each other so happy and it is beautiful to see how they put each other at ease and make each other smile and laugh so easily. We are so excited for you as you begin the next chapter in your lives together, congratulations Jung and Kevin!

Coindre Hall, Huntington Harbor NY Engagement Session Photography Preview {Laura and Dana}

Monday, December 2, 2013

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends! My son’s third birthday was the same day as turkey day this year so he was surrounded by so much love. (and food!) There are still several more weddings and engagement sessions to go up on the blog over the next few weeks, but for today Laura and Dana’s beautiful waterfront engagement session is here for you to enjoy. Since Huntington is where they both grew up, where they live, and where they met, it was the perfect place to photograph their engagement session. The harbor was such a serenely quiet place, the water dotted with sailboats. Take a look through to see their romantic photographs, I look forward to photographing their 2014 wedding!!!
