Desiree and Ryan were married on October 3, 2026, and their Collingswood Grand Ballroom wedding had fall details in every direction. A large oak tree, pumpkins, sunflowers, and a green suit beside an ivory dress made the historic venue a pleasure to photograph. The place also carried meaning for them, because it was connected to […]

On October 2, 2026, I photographed Morticia’s Ball 2026 at James Ward Mansion in Westfield, New Jersey. It was one of the most visually distinctive events I have worked, with masked guests, candlelit mansion rooms, themed entertainment, and an eclipse-inspired atmosphere built around TOTALITY. I have spent more than 30 years behind a camera, and […]

Two wedding photographs in my portfolio show how quickly light can change a picture. In the first, a bride and groom stand on a stone staircase with the sun behind bare autumn trees. Her veil lifts into the backlight, and the lace holds its texture. In the second, a couple becomes a clean silhouette against […]

Most engagement locations hand you one look. You find the pretty spot, you work it for an hour, and everything in the gallery starts to rhyme. Grounds For Sculpture does the opposite. When I photographed Yia and Jeremiah in Hamilton, New Jersey, we moved from monumental sculpture to quiet greenery to hard architectural lines without […]

Most couples arrive at Deep Cut Gardens and notice the formal garden first. It makes sense. The symmetry, clipped hedges, stonework, and long sightlines are immediately impressive. After more than 30 years photographing couples across New Jersey, I have learned that the strongest Deep Cut Gardens engagement locations are not about finding one perfect background. […]

A garden proposal is one of the easiest ways to get a beautiful photograph, and one of the easiest ways to get a disappointing one. The garden does a lot of the work for you: flowers, greenery, winding paths, stone, shade, and a sense of enclosure you simply cannot build in an open field. What […]

I photographed Antonio and Nadjah’s Abington Art Center wedding on August 8, 2026, in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. My coverage ran from ten in the morning until quarter to two, with their ceremony at noon and their portraits finished on the property before they continued the celebration in Huntingdon Valley. What makes this venue worth writing about […]

I have photographed hundreds of proposals across Northern New Jersey over the past thirty years, and the question I get asked least is usually the one that matters most: what happens in the twenty minutes after she says yes? Proposal and engagement photos work best when you plan them as one continuous experience instead of […]
