Christie & Stephan managed to tie both of my fav things into their engagement sitting wine & old buildings. I love peeling paint and broken down buildings, I also love vast scenic landscapes and of course I LOVE red wine so put all three together and you get the following. Here is a sneak peek from their engagement sitting at Alba Vineyards in Milford NJ. It’s such a great location I would LOVE to shoot a wedding there! More images to follow……

Serafina called me in January of 2011 asking if I could photograph her daughters baptism, I had never done one except for family members but it’s winter and well not a great time for weddings so I said yes and from there we formed a great working relationship. Olivia’s party went on to be featured in the blog EAD or Elizabeth Ann Designs you can check it out here. So now Olivia is one and has quite a big personality for such a little girl! She is not a fan of sand or wind, a trait she seems to have inherited from her Grandmother so posing a little peanut on the beach was not easy, BUT, it made for some one of a kind pix. Be sure to check out my fav series “The Meltdown” at the bottom of the post for a laugh!

Adrienne & Aaron had a great wedding at The Imperia in Somerset NJ. The wedding took place the Friday after hurricane Irene and although the ballroom was heavily damaged at the Imperia it didn’t stop the party from going on they rolled with the punches and pitched a tent in the courtyard and hosted a sweet summer wedding. The work on the ball room will be completed in November and it will look even better then before with all the upgrades they are adding.

Rebecca & Chad are not you typical couple and so they didn’t have your typical wedding. First they had a wedding during a hurricane LOL! They didn’t plan that part but they were so laid back that they didn’t let rain stop their outdoor wedding! We still did photos and made the best of a rainy situation. Rebecca & Chad are artists and musicians and chose the perfect venue The Stockton Inn, It’s such a quaint venue being both a small Inn and an amazing restaurant in the cutest little town you can’t help but feel at home here. They brought so much personality to the wedding by having a vegetarian menu and a great band that played classics by The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison and some great new music by Ray LaMontagne and David Gray. They chose to let their personalities show through by allowing the groomsmen to choose a hat and the ladies to choose any shoes (one of the bridesmaids wore Dr. Marten’s while another wore Converse). I loved the feeling of this wedding and this couple!
