A Boy & His Dogs – Nikki Family Session
It was 2009 when I first met Nikki to photograph her Senior portrait session at Shawnee Inn. I was living in East Stroudsburg, PA, at the time, and I believe she was one of the very first paying clients I in the history of my business. SIXTEEN years later, I feel...
Bonnet Island Estate Wedding – Kristen & Jake
It’s not every day you get to marry your best friend… literally… Kristen and Jake were roommates and confidants for years leading up to even going on a single date with one another. I know I’m stealing the officiator story here, but after they had moved on from...
Willow Creek Winery Wedding – Kate & Tom
My favorite line from Tom and Kate’s wedding came from one of the groomsmen who approached my second shooter and I at the reception and said, (pointing to my second), “You’re a super-cool dude, (then pointing to me) and you’re the best wedding photographer I’ve ever...
Sarah Debutante Ball – The Manor West Orange
I had heard of such a thing as a “debutante ball” only in fairytales… that was until planner-extraordinaire Saebina Ghoshal contacted me to photograph one such event for her sister, Sarah. Saebina was wonderful about walking me through what to expect for the day,...
Brant Beach Yacht Club Wedding – Avery & Jason
Bicycles and Bulldogs. Weddings don’t really get much better than this. Avery and Jason are a totally unique couple, and their wedding this past Saturday suited them perfectly. The girls’ day began at Avery’s parents’ gorgeous beach home in Surf City, NJ, and the boys...
Princeton Engagement Session – Vanessa & Alex
As an artist, there’s nothing more fun than having the opportunity to work with other artists. This past Monday I had the pleasure of getting to do just that. Vanessa and Alex are a fun, quirky couple who met while working as interns at McCarter theater in Princeton,...
Thoughts on Judging Wedding Photography Competitions
I see judging wedding photography competitions as a huge honor, and also a HUGE responsibility. Over the last four years, I have judged for the following major organizations: Fearless Photographers, Masters of Wedding Photography Italy, and now most recently, Wedding...
The Venetian Wedding – Danielle & Rocco
So I offered to loan Danielle my kittens because it seemed she had already incorporated everything into her wedding plans except kittens. It was just a joke, really, but it turns out she’s allergic to cats. Anyway, that was actually how a lot of our real-life plans...
Il Tulipano Wedding – Jen & Frank
When I first get to meet a couple whose wedding I’ll be photographing is an exciting time for me. I never know if they’ll be the type to go along with my crazy ideas, share in my sense of humor, or be anywhere near as enthusiastic as I am about the images from their...
Hotel Monaco Wedding – Ryan & Yann
There are certain things I usually like to think will make for amazing wedding photos, and those are: 1.) Small children, 2.) Pets in wedding, 3.) Big, crazy wedding parties. Of all of these things, Ryan and Yann had none… yet somehow we ended up with some of the MOST...
