Ocean City, New Jersey Beach Engagement- Jess and Justin
On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in June, I met up with Jess and Justin in Ocean City, New Jersey <- the best beach in the NJ! I may be partial to OC because that's where Mike and I were married- so naturally love is in the air there. Jess and Justin are getting married next summer on the beach, so this was the perfect time to invite sand in their toes and the salt water air to celebrate their love. We started off on the boardwalk and ended up on the beach. Here are the results!
Bogey's Club and Cafe Wedding: Everest & Allison
They were married on a warm June day. Every handmade detail was placed perfectly, the girls were looking gorgeous in their pale pink dresses, and the guys ready to go in their suspenders. I can't imagine how long Allison, the stunning bride, and her bridesmaids worked on every DIY detail of her rustic/romantic wedding. The ceremony set the tone of the wedding- there wasn't a dry eye in the room by the time the first kiss came. After Everest and Allison became husband and wife, we took the bridal party to a beautiful white barn Allison had found where we had some fun! Finally, we headed to Bogey's Club and Cafe in Sewell, New Jersey for the white tent reception. Everest and Allison's wedding was absolutely perfect! Enjoy!
Pink or Blue??
Let me start by saying, when I got married- there was no Pinterest! So when it came time for our gender reveal party, I started pinning everything! On a Thursday morning, my husband and I went for our 20-week ultrasound. The ultrasound technician put a piece of paper with the gender in a sealed envelope. A week prior, I bought two pairs of mini Converse- one pink and one blue and dropped them off to my neighbor. Only TWENTY FOUR short hours until I would know ... pink or blue. I dropped off the super secret envelope to my trusty neighbor and she wrapped the appropriate pair of Converse. Here are the pictures below that tell a beautiful story about how we got to know the gender of our sweet baby alongside our family and friends. We can't wait for the best part of all... in September when we meet the cutie!
It's a GIRL!

Moorestown Community House Wedding: Paul & Danielle
It was a gorgeous Sunday morning, as Danielle was getting ready for the best day of her life. She was calm and laughter was flowing while she prepared with her two sisters (her bridesmaids). They picked up their bouquets and were off to Marlton Assembly of God for the intimate wedding ceremony. Once married, the bride and groom left the church in a Rolls Royce, while their closest family and friends blew bubbles to send them off. The party took place at the Moorestown Community House in Moorestown, New Jersey as guests danced the night away.
Batsto Village Engagement
Meet Tim and Ashley. Back in the winter, I offered the biggest giveaway I ever have before... a completely free engagement session including a custom DVD with all of the images- a value of $300. Ashley entered and won! I'm so glad she did because Tim and Ashley are the sweetest, and sooo in-love! It sure makes my job easy! Our shoot was April 6th, they will get married one year from now (minus a day) on April 5th at a gorgeous vineyard. They chose Batsto Village in New Jersey for their engagement session. It was a perfect, sunny, but cool day. Tim was not only the groom, but a guide for me and Ashley as we spent the afternoon learning about the village. I had such a blast and wish this couple nothing but the best!
Newborn Maci Claire
Maci Claire entered this world when she was good and ready. A week past her due date and friends and family could not wait a moment longer. Turns out she was well worth the wait! I've been friends with Maci's mommy (Kristina) for a couple of years now and to see her become a mommy was absolutely awesome. Kristina and her husband, PJ, are thrilled to have Maci in their lives and I'm sure Maci feels pretty lucky too!
