{shanna and craig}

On a rainy Sunday afternoon, Shanna and Craig had their very intimate and beautiful ceremony at the Berkeley Carteret in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Shanna was a stunning bride dressed in a vintage style wedding gown and veil. The veil was a family heirloom passed down from her Aunt. The bridesmaids were amazing and oh so helpful! They even made all the bouquets by hand!

The bride and groom are high school sweethearts and truly have a deep love for each other.

There was not a dry eye in the house when the newlyweds shared their first dance. I started crying watching them dance and made sure to cover my face with my camera (sneaky sneaky).  Thank you to John for letting me take part in this special day.

Sweet little Mariana is one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen. Such a gorgeous baby and blessed family full of love and laughter.  Congratulations Georgiana and John!   xoxo

Being in love is such an amazing feeling. It makes you cry, laugh and smile all at the same time. Watching two people who truly adore each other is such an honor especially when it's true love. Andy and Rachel were married in a small chapel on a sunny April day. My friend John asked me to join him on this wedding and I'm so happy I photographed this wonderful day with him.

Oh what an awesome way to start off the wedding season!!  These two lovebirds  (and the hysterical bridal party) were up for anything. They had me laughing the entire day.  We went from the beach to Monmouth University to stage a classroom scene. I love when the Bride and Groom have ideas that they want to share with me. Always nice to work with a creative couple!   They even had a photo booth at the reception which my friend John and I took some hysterical photos with. The dance floor was packed the entire night and of course I was dancing! ( NJSBEST DJS had the guests dancing the entire night!) Megan and Morgan are so happy and so in love that it made for some awesome photographs.  Thank you to Megan and Morgan for allowing me to be a part of your day.
