Remembered to pick up the film camera again.

There’s just something about getting your film scans back that feels like Christmas morning.

These two beautiful people are MARRIED! ✨

Sincere, genuine, chill, fun, and absolute party animals, just a few words to describe Alexis & Lou!

It was such a pleasure being part of their wedding day. We had so many great moments, laughs, happy tears, and a whole lot of dancing throughout the day. I can’t wait to share more!

But for now… here’s a little preview into their wedding day.

It’s been almost three months since I photographed Aleks & Mark’s wedding at Bear Brook Valley, but I still remember it all so vividly—their smiles, the happy tears, the excitement, and that incredible feeling of finally getting to marry each other.

I met Katie & Derek a few years ago at our neighborhood block yard sale. They were visiting Derek’s parents and helping out, and somehow between the yard sale chaos, we got to chatting and discovered that Derek’s dad is a photographer too!

So when the time came for Katie & Derek to get married, I was SO happy when they reached out and even happier that I was available to be there to document it.

These two sweetest souls tied the knot this past weekend at Forest Lodge in Warren, NJ, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better day or better people to spend it with.

Something like this 🎶

and this

😎

But we will sneak in some pretty wedding portraits of you and your partner somewhere in between wedding chaos.

Like this one.

But there will be plenty of fun in your reception photos.

As long as everyone is having fun of course.

It’s in the little glances you exchange.

Walking into your reception.

Blurry details.

Final moment. ...

I’ve seen A LOT of first dances in my career… but Kim & Justin just raised the bar!
These two are the definition of adorable. The giggles, the smiles, the way they looked at each other, you could just FEEL how genuine and sincere their love is.

And Kim’s smile?! Absolutely contagious!

This first dance was giving all the feels and I was here for every second of it! ✨

Being around Anda and James, you could feel the sincerity of their love. Every glance, every smile, every quiet moment spoke volumes. As they became husband and wife, their eyes glistened with emotion, their hearts seemed to beat a little faster, and the joy on their faces said everything words couldn’t.

Such a joy witnessing their love unfold at Arrow Park.
