weddings: patty & david

Patty contacted me a while back after seeing Nicole & Robert’s engagement session and falling in love with it.  The minute we sat down there was instant chemistry between myself & Patty & David – I knew it was going to be a fabulous wedding.   Here are just a few of my MANY favorites.

Patty got ready at The Berkley Oceanfront Hotel in Asbury Park, NJ.
