So you’re planning to propose in Northern New Jersey, and you’re wondering what it’s like to work with a proposal photographer. Maybe you’re curious about how the whole thing works without spoiling the surprise. Or you’re nervous about whether hiring a photographer is actually worth it. After photographing over 500 proposals across Northern NJ, NYC, […]

When Sammi and Mike chose Park Chateau Estate & Gardens for their November wedding, they knew they wanted something magical. As a Park Chateau wedding photographer, I’ve shot at dozens of venues across New Jersey, but there’s something about this East Brunswick estate that just hits different. The Gothic chapel, the manicured gardens, that château-style […]

Winter Catholic weddings present a specific challenge most couples don’t think about: Christmas decorations are either going to compete with your florals or complement them. At Emmanuel and Cynthia’s Westmount Country Club wedding, the red and white poinsettias at St. Theresa Roman Catholic Church in Kenilworth became part of the story instead of fighting it. […]

Anna and Jeremy’s Kirkpatrick Chapel wedding taught me something I already knew but don’t always get to practice – sometimes the best photography happens when you have nowhere to hide.

The couple transformed their backyard into this romantic Italian dreamscape, and honestly, every corner was more Instagram-worthy than the last. As a Somerset NJ backyard engagement […]

The Conservatory at Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, NJ, is one of those rare venues that actually gets better in winter. While most couples worry about cold-weather weddings, Kaitlyn and Anthony leaned into it – and their winter celebration proved why this rustic barn venue works so well when there’s snow on the ground and […]

A Northern New Jersey wedding timeline typically spans 8-10 hours from getting ready through last dance. Planning your northern new jersey wedding timeline can feel overwhelming, but with over 30 years photographing 800+ weddings across Bergen County, Skylands Manor, and the Hudson Valley, I’ve refined the exact timeline structure that prevents delays while capturing every […]

Sayen House and Gardens engagement photos always deliver something special, and Kaley and Vincent’s session was no exception. These two brought their incredible chemistry—and their adorable dog—to one of Hamilton Square’s most beautiful locations, and we captured some seriously authentic moments together. Why Sayen House and Gardens Works for Engagement Photos If you’re looking for […]
