For all of you that know me I am a very big advocate for the environment and an even bigger supporter of wolves. I have loved wolves for as long as I can remember. With each wedding I photograph I will be making a donation to the below organizations. Click on the links below to find out more.

Really had a great time with these 2. Adrienne and I met Christina & Mike at The Blind Tiger on Bleeker Street. This is where Christina & Mike met. Who ever said New Yorkers were not nice. People moved around the bar and were very accommodating giving up their seats to us and even offering a free beer!! We then headed to the streets and made our way up to Central Park. Along the way we met one of Mike's favorite sports announcers from ESPN. He even stopped for a picture.No matter how many times I've photographed in Central Park there's always something new. What an amazing place. Here are just a few of my favorites. Can't wait for the wedding guys!!

As the sign says. "Here's where it all began!! " :)

Love these next 2.

I always try to add a "time piece" in the pics if possible. So years from now when they look back at the pics there's a point of reference.

Here's Christina & Mike with Kirk Herbstreit, am ESPN sports announcer. I think Mike was more excited to meet this guy than the shoot. Lucky for Mike he just happened to have a professional photographer with him to get the shot. :)

Love the creepy looking Matrix guy in the corner in this one.

Def. one of my favs from the day.

Like I said above. I just love walking around Central Park. There's a photo op everywhere you turn.

Thought this was really great also. It's all about timing and knowing when to hit that shutter. Again, adding a point of reference or time to the shot is always a good thing.

Princeton, NJ

What an amazing couple these 2 were. After meeting them at our initial get together I knew they were going to be fun. They brought along board games and a great attitude as we walked around Princeton University capturing who they are together. Really looking forward to their wedding at the end of May at The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. Here are a few of my favorites from the day. See you soon guys!!

We stopped for a bit as they played a quick game.

This is their fist pump they do with each other.

Nothing like a little 'batman' action in the back of an ally!! :)

WOW!!!! I am thrilled and honored for a few reasons. First, I found out last night I was chosen as one of NJ Bride Magazine's "Love It" award. Only 16 photographers in the state were lucky enough to be chosen.
Editor Molly Tully says, "Our Love It list is indispensable for any bride planning a wedding in New Jersey, making it the premier go-to bridal resource. These are all the professionals—grouped together all in one list—who we truly love and trust to create the wedding you've always dreamed of. We want New Jersey brides to love every detail of their weddings, and these are the people who will help make that possible." As I said "WOW"!!!!!!

Now for a little bragging. This past year along with this award I was also recognized by "The Knot" as a top pick and 'Wedding Wire' as one of the best as well. Very exciting!! Which leads me to something that I have been meaning to blog for some time. I always encourage my couples to submit their images for 'real wedding's' stories in magazines and on blog sites. Well my amazing couple of MaryAnn & Ryan did just that. She got in touch with NJ Bride editor Molly Tully and she loved their images so much that for the first time in the history of the magazine they used a REAL couple for the cover. And as if that wasn't exciting enough, Molly reached out to me and asked for some other images. She ended up loving my couple Larissa & Steven so much she then made them the cover of the South Jersey edition of NJ Bride. So 2 covers!!!!!!! I also included from last winters issue another couple of mine, Jenna & Vincent who's wedding was orchestrated by one of NJ's premier wedding planner's Tina from 'Oh So Fab'.(and Love It award winner as well) Tina will stop at nothing to make sure your wedding is absolutely beautiful down to every last detail. I then received a call recently from the Daily News about my wedding at The Crossed Keys Inn of Jessie & Noah. They were interviewed and featured in their 'Down the Aisle' section of the Sunday paper.
I can not thank all my incredible couples enough who trust in me to capture one of the most important days in their life. I do not take it lightly and strive to be The Best and will continue to do so. I realize there are a lot of photographers out there and you have a choice.Thank you all again and to all my new couples I will stop at nothing to produce images you will hopefully one day see on the cover of a magazine!!
