Highlawn Pavilion, Eagle Rock Reservation, West Orange NJ Wedding Preview {Cassie and Gerry}

Wednesday, November 21, 2012

Cassie and Gerry’s wedding day was absolutely beautiful. There was nothing that did not reflect the beauty of the love between these two wonderful people. Branch Brook Park with the fall light was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart was grand, Highlawn Pavilion at Eagle Rock Reservation was fantastic, Cassie’s hair and makeup was flawless, her dress was amazing, and Cassie & Gerry were glowing. I think every single one of their groomsmen and bridesmaids were even glowing from the joy that was overflowing from the two of them. Cassie and Gerry could not keep from smiling all day long. I am so excited to share all the photos from this incredible wedding, but for now enjoy the preview!

Just before their First Look, Cassie & Gerry stood back to back and spent a minute talking and soaking in the moment.

Willowwood Arboretum, Chester NJ Engagement Photography Session {Juliann & Zach}

Thursday, November 8, 2012

Juliann and Zach are engaged! It was a perfect fall day last week when we met up with Juliann and Zach at Willowwood Arboretum in Chester, NJ for their engagement session. They are such a great couple. They so naturally fall into each other’s arms and make each other smile with ease. Our couples often inspire us to grow in love, and Juliann and Zach were no exception. It was truly inspiring to see them love on each other and see how much they enjoyed every moment of closeness throughout the session. It was an honor and pleasure to photograph your engagement session, Juliann and Zach. Congratulations!

Juliann and Zach are so sweet together. Right from the start they were smiling, laughing, and holding each other close.

Juliann! You are gorgeous!!

Love.

Juliann and Zach, your love is so clear.

Zach, you are a lucky man.

Zach was looking very handsome. We think Juliann is a lucky one, too.

On our way out of the Willowwood Arboretum, Zach pulled up his truck for a few more photos in the fields of tall grass.

While Paul took this photo using our softbox setup…

Hurricane Sandy

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

As many of you in the tri-state are aware, much of the east coast was hit by the devastating power of Hurricane Sandy. We were fortunate enough to not have any damage to our home but are currently without power, internet or consistent cell service. Our usual weekly blog posts will be on hold until things are back online and we will do our best to respond to emails when we have the opportunity to access our inbox. Our hearts go out to all those who have lost their homes and who are feeling the effects of Sandy. We hope you all are staying safe and warm!
