What's even more amazing is how much they love God and really dedicate their lives to glorifying Him. Their wedding was one of the most incredible events I have ever attended. Jesus was definitely the guest of honor. I'm so excited to share these pictures and it was truly and honor photographing your wedding! God bless you always!!!

The Ashford Estate Allentown, NJ ~ Stephanie & Morgan {Married} Hurricane wedding Part 1

2011-09-27T05:06:00.000-07:00

Stephanie and Morgan were married at the incredible Ashford Estate in Allentown, NJ. Hurricane Irene hit during the early afternoon but their wedding wound up being just perfect! Everyone had an amazing time and danced their hearts out. It was obvious how much Stephanie and Morgan love each other! Every time I tried taking a picture of them on the dance floor, they were candidly kissing :) It was so sweet! I just loved photographing them because of their spontaneous and carefree nature (wait until you see how great their first kiss was!!!). Congratulations and thank you for being so light-hearted, funny and great to work with!

By far some of the most AWESOME shoes I've ever photographed!

Part 2 coming soon :)

Jamie & Brian {Married}

2011-09-21T08:22:00.001-07:00

"I'm dressed...we're getting married!" exclaimed the beautiful and determined bride.
Their wedding date occurred the day before Category 3 Hurricane Irene was set to hit the east coast. Mandatory evacuations forced their venue to cancel only hours before their big moment. Regardless, Jamie and Brian had one of the MOST loving and heart-felt weddings I have ever photographed. Love and determination set in as their amazing families came together to plan an impromptu ceremony and reception at a friend's beautiful house overlooking a golf course. Their love and endurance conquered all, and God truly provided for them. Jamie and Brian may God bless you throughout your marriage and may you always be surrounded by love.

Jamie and Brian were Interviewed by NBC about their wedding during the hurricane!

Meet their puppy Chase!

Chasing Groundhogs... (and why I love my husband)

2011-09-19T10:06:00.001-07:00

When I got my first camera, it became my ultimate goal-
To capture an amazing picture of a Groundhog! I know it sounds silly, but watching CaddyShack as a teen, I thought groundhogs were the cutest animals ever. I tried chasing the groundhogs to get a good picture of one, but it's harder than you would think. The have all these secret holes they easily run into. I told my wonderful husband John of my goal and he was supportive lol. As you all know, I started photographing weddings and my dream had to take a back seat. Several years passed... and anytime I was at an engagement shoot in a park I would see a groundhog far far in the distance. My instincts would say "just tell the couple you will be right back and run over there to get a picture of it!". But of course, I could never do that. My couples mean more to me than my silly dream from several years ago...

Then it happened! It happened when I least expected it...

I was photographing a beautiful wedding at a golf course when all of a sudden the bride turns to me and tells me to look by the tree. To my surprise, there lay the fluffiest groundhog I had ever laid eyes on. He was just like the one in the movie! The cutest bubbly cheeks and little whiskers. I grabbed my zoom lens and alas my dream had been fulfilled! I was ecstatic but no one would realize how excited I was. No one could possibly know how much time I had spent chasing groundhogs to get this one perfect shot. This was a shot that was years in the making!

So I decide to text my wonderful Husband John. I didn't think he would remember because it was so long ago.

He remembered!!!
I was just so happy, even more happy than actually photographing the ground hog. I love my husband because he really knows me. He knows me better than I know myself and I'm just really grateful to God for blessing me so much. And I'm also grateful to be there for my brides on their wedding days, to photograph them with the person who knows them better than anyone. Marriage truly is a gift from God....

And here is the picture that would make Bill Murray himself jealous!

Willy Wonka Inspired wedding shoot at The Ashford Estate in Allentown, NJ with MDS Floral

2011-09-06T05:07:00.000-07:00

Wow! I am just beyond excited to share this shoot with you! The idea was to design a Willy Wonka inspired wedding with concept and styling by Kay English, and event and floral design (including the candy bouquet) by the amazing MDS Floral Designs. It's obviously not a real wedding but it's so fun to inspire new wedding trends through doing editorial shoots! The shoot was set at the stunning Ashford Estate by Weddings of Distinction. The cappuccino colored wedding gown was provided by the incredible Sarah Seven and the beautiful purple hairpiece by Lo Boheme. The exquisite chocolate cake was designed by the lovely Jen at The Hudson Cakery. The delicious cookies and cake jars were designed by the awesome Tookies Etsy Shop. Krysalis Kreations did the stunning hair and makeup with the modern purple twist! The pretty purple belt is from Etsy's Bridal Shoppe and the golden bowtie was handmade by Etsy's Rufflentuck. The golden sparkle shoes are from Mod Cloth. Special thanks to Marla and Brian for modeling for the shoot and Kristina for 2nd shooting. So grab a bar of chocolate, and a cup of cappuccino and enjoy!!! :)

Those who follow my blog regularly know that I am not usually one for words. I like to let the photos speak for themselves, which is why I hardly ever give introductions to couples in a wedding post. But I just feel really inspired and truly blessed to have photographed Jamie and Doug's wedding that I have to write. Jamie and Doug love Jesus so much and you could feel His presence at their entire wedding. From the favors to the hymns, to most importantly the love they have for each other. It was such an incredible honor photographing your wedding and may God truly bless the both of you in your marriage. Special thanks to the amazing Nino Gallego for 2nd shooting :)
