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.

Hair by Janette Concepcion and makeup is by Samantha Acevevo

Invitations, water bottle labels and CD packaging by Duckie Design. Flowers by Peter James Floral Couture in Asbury Park.

I love seeing reactions to those that witness beauty.

Anticipation before the first meeting!

Hey, David, this is what moms are for, ok?

The cake was a RING DING cake (yes, I said RING DING!) created by Glenda Petruzzelli.

The bride and groom with the Owners of Watermark, Russell Lewis and Andrew Hacking.

Candyteria! - The fabulous Scott Petrillo of Candyteria was kind enough to let us snap a few shots in his SWEET store.

Thanks Scott!

Brown & Green M&M’s of course.

Patty and David also had custom Cubans!

David & Patty own Igloo Italian Ice & Ice Cream (Oakhurst, NJ). It wouldn’t be a party if there wasn’t some representation!

DJ Prestige, Vinyl Excavator Extraordinaire, Funk Soul, Jazz, Reggae. Definitely check out his blog too, here.

Party people

Patty and David love this building.

Patty and David, thank you for having me shoot your special day! You guys are GREAT! I’m blessed to have met you, such a fantastic couple with some amazing friends.

I cannot believe it’s been so long since I’ve blogged. I’m so behind! I’ll be catching up soon. In the meantime, take a quick peek at the bride of the next “to be blogged” wedding, Patty!

Patty, you’re gorgeous!

Luciana & Adam got married! I had such a great time at their wedding at Bonnet Island Estate in April (yes…I said APRIL…have I mentioned I’m wayyyyy behind on blogging???). Luciana is just SO sweet and Adam is so funny. The crowd was lots of fun and every detail beautiful!

Luciana is beautiful!

Adam, the Groom. He’s pretty happy here.

The Boathouse.

Warm, natural light was pouring through the windows.

Candy Buffet. Yum.

Father of the Groom was dancing like I have never seen before! It was almost as if he never touched the ground! Amazing!!

Fun time, had by all!

Luciana & Adam, huge congratulations and thank you so much for having me shoot this awesome event in your lives! It was a pleasure working with you. Big shout-out to my Assistant Michelle!

weddings: kelle & nick

I think this is officially the longest I have gone without blogging since the blog started! Whew, have I been busy. Playing a little catch up here, so expect a flurry of stuff over the next week or so.

Kelle and I clicked immediately on the telephone during our first conversations. She’s very bright and bubbly with a TON of creative ideas. Kelle planned her own wedding and designed pretty much everything. The wedding was very beautiful and Michelle, my assistant and I, had a great time. I’m excited to post these images, so without further delay…

Nicole Miller Gown

Kelle made her invitations using old letters that Nick wrote to her.

My daughter saw this one and said she can’t wait to be a flower girl, “They get to wear make-up!”

Too young for makeup!

Of course we remember when Nick first saw Kelle…

Here’s when Kelle first saw Nick.

Beautiful Kelle.

Off to the beach we go with the Bridal Entourage.

Sometimes, not standing still for a portrait makes a great portrait!

And a piece of art.

Avalon Yacht Club, Avalon NJ.

Floral Design by Primrose, Somers Point, NJ

I thought this was so beautiful and original. Place card settings in vintage bottles with handmade tags by Kelle, food choices were indicated on the floral stamp color. How fabulous!

Here comes the bride..

I’d say he looks pretty happy to see her.

Listening intently.

I’d say they’re pretty happy.

As is everyone else that went to this wedding!

When handed the bridal bouquet, this little guy took his job very seriously.

A favorite for sure.

They say “let’s jump!” who am I to argue?

Little dudes were rockin’ out in every possible way.

As were the little girls!

Kids are so much fun at weddings, aren’t they?

It was extremely hard to pull these two away from partying, but I managed to steal a moment for a beautiful silhouette.

Nighttime ambiance.

Party people.

Yes, I get down on the level.

Who, me?

My last fav -

Kelle & Nick, it was an honor and a pleasure to be a part of your day.

HUGE shout out to Michelle, my assistant, for this wedding!
