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.

Got to admit I was really looking forward to Denise & Dave's wedding for some time. Denise and I have been friends for some time and I was both honored and excited to capture her & David's day. Another reason was they gave me so much time to do what I love most. Taking our time with the pics. We met at Denise & Dave's home for some prep shots where we were greeted by 2 of the cutest kids in a bridal party ever. After getting ready we headed for The Broadway Theater that Denise had rented out for her pictures. We had a great time taking over the theater. And although it was cold outside we were still able to take some outside shots as well. After the ceremony we headed over to Filomena Lakeview for a cozy intimate dinner. I also want to thank Denise & Dave for their special donation. In lieu of gifts for guests Denise & Dave made a special donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help cure this disease which my daughter has. They also made a donation to a local animal shelter. Thank you both so much. It really meant a lot when I saw that at the gift table!!
Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Denise and her sister Elaine getting ready for the day.

As a Devil fan I was able to put my dislike for the Flyers aside and rise above it all and still photograph their day. :)

Nice detail of Dave getting ready.

Denise heading down to meet Dave for the first time.

WOW!!! Denise was absolutely beautiful.

Denise made her bouquet herself. It was really different. The only drawback I can say is that it was really heavy!!

Loved this shot of Dave and his best friend.

The ring bearer Elijah.

The flower girl Riese.

Love the next 2 shots. One of the reason I love what I do so much is always being in a different place and situation and having to make images like this.

The bridal party in the theater.

Just a cool detail shot I really liked.

My fav. of the day! Really love this image.

You can't tell it's like 20 degrees. Thanks for putting up with me Dave!!

One more outside. See guys, I'd say it was worth a few minutes of cold!! :)

Liberty House
Jersey City, NJ

Right from the moment Steve & I arrived in Lynn's hotel suite we knew it was going to be a great day. There was such a great energy in the room. Everyone was relaxed and having fun. After some prep shots and detail shots we headed downstairs to meet Kirk. The restaurant & bar at the hotel was also the sight for their very first date so it seemed appropriate they have their first reveal their as well. After some shots in and around the hotel and waterfront we headed to Liberty State Park. We were soon joined after by the bridal party and families and eventually made our way back to the Liberty House for a amazing fall afternoon ceremony. One of the highlights was Kirks daughter singing them a beautiful song. Of course a rockin' party ensued as the Manhattan skyline served as the backdrop. The night was capped by smores' and hot chocolate by the fire pits.

Some fun with Lynn's shoes.

Loved the angles in the room.

Great capture by Steve of Lynn & mom having some fun getting ready.

Kirk getting ready for the day.

This was Lynn's nephew receiving his first "film" camera from Lynn's dad. Yes, a "film" camera.I could get into what "film" is but I'll just say look it up... :)

Beautiful moment when dad first saw Lynn. I could tell these 2 had a very special bond with each other.

This is so great. When Lynn and Kirk were having their "first reveal" I turned around to find these 3 peeking from behind a wall to see the moment.

Shot in front of Jersey City Hyatt. What you don't see his Steve literally hanging on the edge holding the reflector with the Hudson River behind him to break his fall in case he falls backwards. Thanks Steve!!

Loved this shot of Lynn. Amazing eyes!

Kirk and his posse.

Def. my favorite from the day.

Another great capture by Steve. It really was a perfect day.

Love this image of Lynn & dad walking up the aisle. It was so great to see Lynn so in the moment. Really enjoying it!

The kiss as the moon rises in the distance.

The new Mr. & Mrs.

Kirk used to be a boat captain so we wanted to include some of the boats that were docked next to The Liberty House.The nice little sunset behind them didn't hurt either. Figure I'd include that as well. :)

First dance.

Good times. This really was a fun group to be around.

And of course I had to include NYC in some of the shots.

Citizens Bank Park
Philladelphia, PA

Got to admit I was pretty excited for Alison & Tim's wedding. Not because I'm a Philly fan or a baseball fan. I'm a hockey fan and this is where The Winter Classic was taking place!! :) I now consider it one of the biggest hockey stadiums in the world, not a baseball stadium!! Of course I'm just kidding. One of the things I love so much about what I do aside from taking pictures are all the great places I get to see. Of course photographing an amazing couple like Alison & Tim just make it that much better. We had such a great time. The stadium was ours. I could have shot here for hours. We did all the photos before their ceremony that took place in a room overlooking the field. So great!! Really was one of the funnest weddings I've ever had the pleasure of capturing. How could it not when even the "Phillie Phanatic" cleared his schedule to be there? Allison & Tim surprised everyone with the special guest. Great times!!!! Thanks for a pretty special day guys. That was fun!!

Alison looked beautiful and was smiles all day!

As a surprise to Alison & Mike they had their names on the big screen for the afternoon.

We had access to the Phillies dugout. Pretty cool hanging out down there.

Love this shot.

Nice moment during the ceremony as they said their vows to each other.

Just a few of the details from the day.

Their first dance together.

Love the next two as the best man gives his speech and totally embarrassed Alison.

Alison having some fun with the Phanatic.

HA!!! Here's Tim having his whole head swallowed by the Phanatic.

Great party!!

I'm sure these two will never watch a game here the same way. Here's a great shot from high above the stands.

And now introducing...DOMINIC!!! Here's a fun shoot I did with a great couple I was lucky enough to photograph 3 years ago. I love staying in touch with my couples and help them capture moments in their life. It is really an honor and I'm so thankful for it. We spent an afternoon in my studio having fun and capturing some great images of Dominic. Here are a few favorites from the day.
