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.

Wow I can't believe wedding season is kicking in again, and I also can't believe that I had such an awesome couple to start it with! Jim and I headed up north to Meet at Daphny's parents house which was pretty cool, everywhere I looked there were little "setups" for detail shots. From the walls to the chairs to the carpets and even the stairs had an awesome tiling on them - very exciting for someone like me ;-). We shot Daphny in her sisters room using her curtains as our main light and I will say they are some of my favorite bridal portraits I've taken, You have to love the natural light of large windows! We then headed over to the ceremony in Montclair where I had to scale a fence put up to keep people from getting on the balcony and almost fell but it was well worth it for the shot of Daphny walking up the isle with her father! After the ceremony it was a mad dash to get some photos in Montclair before heading over to the reception, I'm very happy that Scott and Daphny were up for running through the shots and we knocked out the ones Jim and I scouted while people were exiting the church. When we finally arrived at the reception, we quickly set up some lights and did a little shoot with the awesome Cadillac that they cruised up in. Scott pulled out a rocking photo in front of the grill.
Simply put you guys were great and I can't wait to show you the rest of your photos!

Jersey City, NJ

You know your in for years of good luck when you exit the church and a mob of drunk people shout out "no way, did you people just get married?" What gave it away? The white dress?? :) It turns out for some reason St. Patrick's day is now celebrated over several weekends and this was the start of it.
Doreen & Jim had a beautiful early spring day for their wedding. We met at The Jersey City Hyatt where both Doreen & Jim were getting ready.
For the relaxed formal pics we were able to shoot on the roof of the hotel and then we made our way around Jersey City with the NYC skyline in the backdrop. We were able to take our time and get all of the pictures finished before the ceremony. After the ceremony we headed back to the Hyatt and danced all evening to the sounds of Creations. They were an awesome band that had nearly everyone up & dancing all night. I want to also give a big thank you to Daniel from the Hyatt who helped out all day with everything & anything Doreen & Jim needed.

Greetings everyone and a "late" happy new year!! It's been crazy the last few months. The next few blog entries are a bit behind. They're from shoots I did around the holidays and some family portraits from fall. 2009 was an incredible year and 2010 is shaping up to be just as fantastic. I am lucky enough to have some great couples booked in some amazing locations this year. Even after all the weddings I've done over the years there are new locations to discover. Like I say every year to all my couples past and future.... THANK YOU!!!! I am so fortunate and lucky to do what I love and have the best time doing it. I can not thank you enough!! Also with my weddings this year I was able to donate to several organizations on behalf of my couples. I am also donating a Family Portrait to "Benefit Haiti Earthquake Relief." It takes place at the Nassau Inn in Princeton on February 10. All proceeds will go to The America Red Cross. There are lots of great people making donations. There will be wine, beer food and live entertainment. So if you want a family portrait check it out and help out.

Hello all. Here's a great wedding I had the pleasure of photographing in late fall that got published in the recent issue of New Jersey Life. It's always exciting to go to a magazine stand and pick up an issue and see your work published!! Also they had a feature on flowers and featured 1 of my shots as well. I want to thank Teri at Main Street Catering and Adrien at Dahlia Flowers for all their hard work in making this such a great wedding. And also to Christina & Mike for including me in their day.
