Sandy Hook Beach Engagement | Jessah + Josh

 

Gateway National Recreation Area | Middletown, NJ

Jessah and Josh's engagement session at Sandy Hook Beach beautifully captures their journey from college friends to lifelong partners. Their story began at Rutgers University on the intramural volleyball court, where they started off as teammates not knowing that it would lead to a deeper meaningful connection. Funny story is that I was actually a referee for the intramural program thought my entire time in college and I reffed MULTIPLE of their games.. it feels like a full circle moment photographing them as an engaged couple now! As the waves lapped the shore, we celebrated their love with stunning seaside photos, reflecting their journey and how it all started. We even ended the night with a little volleyball bump session ;)

 

Liberty State Park, Jersey City | Maternity Session

 

Liberty State Park | Jersey City

Love a good manhattan backdrop!! There’s something about a family session that can feel refreshing after the long wedding days. As a new mom myself, yes, trying to gather kids can be stressful but these sessions can also be playful and fun! I try to tell the family, to just embrace the kids as they are and we can try to work around them — maybe you’ll come home with one or two photos of everyone looking at the camera, but there’ll be sooo much more laughs if we let the tickling, running around, and playing happen. After all, parenthood is not picture perfect journey, so our photos capturing that moment shouldn’t be any different.

 

Prallsville Mills Wedding | Sara + Paul

 

Prallsville Mills | Stockton, NJ

Boy do I love a wedding in a cute, little quaint town. Sara and Paul had a beautiful fall wedding and exchanged vows at Prallsville Mills in Stockton, New Jersey, surrounded by the warm hues of autumn and with the love of their family and friends. The historic charm of the inn provided the perfect backdrop for their special day, adding a touch of old-world romance to their modern celebration. The whole day felt so intimate and sweet, and might me up there with one of my favorite weddings from start to finish. :O
