Hoboken - a "mini-city" as Colton calls it.  I love Hoboken for so many reasons, yes being mini means its much easier to get around to different locations, perfect city views + sunsets, and fantastic architecture.  And even though I wasn't much of a Hoboken bar hopper back in the day (Philly took care of that for me) I still admire the history and love that goes into Hoboken.  Hoboken is a hop, jump, and skip away from Eli and Krystle so it was the perfect setting for their New Jersey Fall engagement session.  We did their session in November so it was definitely bordering on winter temperatures but these two were such troopers! Krystle and Eli definitely became more than just clients, they have become friends that make you feel so comfortable to be around.  I can't wait to show off their winter wedding at the Brownstone!

Besides always looking forward to being with a couple and all their amazing guests, as a Bergen County Wedding Photographer, the reception venue definitely plays a huge role in a couples' day.  When I found out Megan and Mike were spending most of their day at Ramsey Country Club, So, maybe I'm a bit biased, but since it was Joe and I's venue, it happens to be one of my favorites.  Mike and his staff truly make their couples, guests, and other venders at home.  Besides having the same reception venue, Megan, Mike, and I had a ton in common.  In between mutual friends, Megan and I being teachers, and fixing up our old/new houses, I think we spent more time talking about life rather than weddings. Not only did they celebrate at one of my favorite Bergen County Wedding Venues, but they also had their ceremony at one of my favorite churches, Our Lady of Victories in Harrington park (Gina + Sal also had their ceremony here). I've loved looking back at some of the best moments from Megan and Mike's wedding, I hope you do too!

So excited to finally show off Kyle + Sarah's beautiful fall wedding! Sarah and I ended up having a ton in common from the get-go, both graduates from ESU, both teachers, and both of us in the wedding industry.  And Kyle? Well Kyle is just down to earth, kind, easy going, thoughtful, and will do anything for his bride.  I was looking forward to Kyle and Sarah's wedding all fall, Sarah's attention to detail truly brought to life the most personal and romantic reception that fit them perfectly.  The room was filled with burgundy, gold, and candles everywhere you looked.  Sarah and Kyle were on the dance floor all night long, as were their guests who you could tell were having the best time, as were Jess and I! Thank you Kyle and Sarah for sharing your incredible day with us!

My favorite thing about being a Bergen County Wedding Photographer is meeting up with old friends! When Stephanie contacted me, we hit it off right away.  Stephanie is an incredible stylist at LuLu Blowdry and beauty lounge as well as an on-site stylist with Pin It Up and Pout who has done quite a few of my previous brides! I'm so excited its finally her turn! It only got better when I found out Stephanie was engaged to an old high school friend Sully.  For their session, we stuck with our Bergenfield, Bergen County roots! We started off with Cooper's Pond, a hidden gem in Bergen County.  Growing up in Bergenfield, Cooper's pond was known for doing prom pictures and that was pretty much it.  All my Bergenfield Alum clients are always shocked when I take them to other parts of the Cooper's pond grounds.  It truly is beautiful and has so many different aspects and layers to it.  After exploring Cooper's Pond we hit up one of our old stomping grounds - Bergenfield High School! Having not been back there in over 12 years it certainly brought back so many memories. Between Sullivan and Stephanie wearing their old varsity jackets ( Don't worry Stephanie, we'll forgive you for the Old Tappan one ;), to the track memories, and even the marching band rehearsing for the next week's game, it really did bring us back in time.  Thank you Stephanie and Sully for allowing me to relive old and new memories with you guys!
