welcome to the journal

Mike and Justine first met in September of 2013 online and had their first date in Montclair, New Jersey.  They decided on a movie date where they saw “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs two”.  With a title like that, we could see that they both share the same sense of humor!! 

Alyssa and Jeff first met in Ms. Sorrentino’s freshman year chemistry class. Jeff was immediately smitten, but Alyssa kept him at arm’s length for three years!  Eventually she relented, and they started dating senior year of high school.  

I first met Jeanine when she was one of my past bride’s bridesmaids.  She and her sister were in the bridal party and we hit it off right from the beginning.  She was so much fun to be with and she helped me out so much!  

Peter grew up in Virginia and Courtney is from New Jersey so when Courtney chose Virginia Tech to go to college, little did she know she would meet the man she would marry!  They just so happened to both attend  a Hurricane Sandy Relief event where they ended up going to dinner together with mutual friends and ended up sharing a cab home.  Courtney tell Peter that he had her laughing the whole ride home!

April had always dreamt about her wedding day since she was a little girl.  She thought about every detail!  What her dress would look like and what kind of pretty shoes she would wear.  

Sacha and Ricardo both grew up in Brooklyn and just love the city life!  When it came time to plan their wedding they wanted to incorporate their love for the city and love for wine!  What better place then the Brooklyn Winery!………….

When Nicole and Michael contacted me I was delighted!  They are a NYC couple and are so much fun!  I knew that we would have a wonderful engagement session in Central Park and I was totally right!

Lynn and Joe went to high school together but really did not know each other!  It wasn’t until 10 years later that fate brought them together………

April and Chris both moved to the Richmond, Virginia area within months of each other!  Chris had grown up there so going back home was a great decision.  April had just relocated from New Jersey and upon getting a job at Primrose School, she also got a fiance!……..

The weddings from 2017 were just amazing!  The friendships we made were so special to us!  I have to think each and every time we capture a wedding, what those images will mean not only to the couple, but to their families…….
