When Julia and Robert chose a winter wedding, they knew exactly what they were doing. Their St. Catharine Church wedding ceremony in Glen Rock, followed by a reception at The Westin Governor Morris in Morristown, gave everyone a beautiful celebration on a crisp December evening. I’ve been photographing Northern New Jersey weddings for over 30 […]

Last updated: January 2026 Planning a proposal in one of New Jersey’s beautiful parks? You’re not alone.

Brian and Nancy’s winter wedding at The Rockleigh felt calm in the best way. Elegant, yes, but not stiff. The emotion was right there, and nobody had to force it. The Rockleigh gives you a lot without making you run all over the place. Good light where it matters, a staircase that actually earns the […]

Angela and Zev showed up at Skylands Botanical Garden in Ringwood with an ease between them that you cannot fake. It was late winter, snow still on the ground, and the light was soft and clean. We used the stone arch, the entrance gates, and the long paths through the gardens, and let the session […]

Joyce started her day in a red qipao. Raymond was in Marine dress blues. By the time they stood together at Rockleigh’s outdoor pavilion that evening, everything between those two moments had been about family, tradition, and the kind of quiet pride that doesn’t need announcing. I photographed their Rockleigh Country Club wedding the way […]
