welcome to the journal

Dani and Mark met in college. They met over a Domino’s pizza get together and they were quite smitten with one another. Dani being from Staten Island and Mark grew up in New Jersey, so when Mark asked Dani on their first date they decided to go out on Staten Island.

Tina and Mike met through social media and Tina popped up on Mike’s feed as someone he may know. They were both attending Montclair State University at the time and Mike says he could have sworn he saw Tina on campus before!

A springtime engagement session is always a delight for me! I was so excited when Sherilyn and Kyle chose the beautiful state park Waterloo Village as their special place for their engagement session! It turned out to be a beautiful and glorious morning even though when we arrived it was raining!

Chelsea and Jon both grew up in the same neighborhood in Mountainside, New Jersey.  They met in elementary school and remained close friends throughout their high school and college years…….

I received a phone call from a woman who told me that she was getting married in six days! As we spoke, I soon discovered that this sweet girl was planning a wedding that quickly because her dad has been ill and she wanted him to enjoy her wedding day. I love how Diana, her sister, and mom came together to plan a beautiful wedding!

What a wonderful blessed year it has been! It is such a wonderful feeling every January to recall and recapture the beautiful memories that I was so blessed to have captured for all of my beautiful couples!

Congratulations to Jackie and Jon who were married at the Wilshire Caterers this past weekend! Their perfect day began where Jackie and her whole family were able to be with her as she prepared for her big day!

Alyssa and Mike met through a mutual friend back in July, 2014. When Claire, (Alyssa’s best friend) met Mike while coaching at Morris Hills track team, she thought that this would be a perfect match!

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing Brittany and Brian’s beautiful vow renewals at St. Bartholomew’s in Scotch Plains, New Jersey.

When I first heard from Jackie about photographing her wedding I was immediately excited! This bride grew up in my neighborhood in Staten Island and I always love going back there to feel like I am home.
