Morven Museum Wedding Reception of Deirdre + Bill

I had long been anticipating Deirdre and Bills wedding reception at the Morven Museum and Gardens in Princeton. It was the former Governors Mansion of New Jersey and much of it has been preserved to it’s original state. Adding to the charm was the fabulous tent from L & A Tent Rentals complete with Edison lights adding to the vintage charm. Deidre ended the evening with an adorable dress change and Irish dancing with family and friends! A perfect first time at Morven for me!

New Jersey Bride Magazine Bridal Editorial

Several weeks ago I shared the covers of New Jersey Bride Magazine that I photographed. To top it off there was also a 6 page bridal editorial that is featured inside it’s cover. On a very windy autumn day last September at Mallard Island Yacht Club Michelle Indorato- Santanello of MDS Floral Design  and I planned a beach inspired bridal editorial. It was just such a perfect day and all the talent came together for one of those perfect shoots. I was in photographers nirvana! Finally got around to scanning the feature. Enjoy!

Bonnet Island Wedding of Kimberly + Josh

Early autumn at the Jersey shore, and what better place to be than Bonnet Island Estate!  Kimberly prepared for her wedding day at her parents home right on the beach! How perfect! I knew it would be extra special with Michelle Indorato- Santanello of MDS Floral Design doing all the florals and decor. Wonderful working with Michelle again! Kimberly and Josh said their “I do’s” in the charming rustic boathouse at the estate and it was off to a very festive party! Loved my wedding day at the beach!

New Jersey Bride Magazine Covers!

Every time I go to the grocery store I have to pinch myself. When I pass by the magazine rack and see my images looking back at me, gracing the covers of New Jersey Bride Magazine! Though I have had my work published in hundreds of bridal magazines over the past 15 years the elusive “cover” has always passed me by. In the current issue I not only got the cover but I got all 4 covers. Talk about hitting the JACKPOT!!!!! Thank you so much NJ Bride editor Molly Tully for making this wedding photographers dream come true!
