Happy Friday!

I just got back from a beautiful walk up the street with my buddy, Rocco, and after a little game of fetch in the yard, we had a quick photo session. I really hope the weather is like this all weekend!

Anything fun planned?

I will be spending Saturday morning + afternoon photographing Kayla+Brandon's wedding at Pier 9.
Afterward, I'm venturing over to one of my favorite Japanese restaurants for some sushi + socializing with friends.

And Sunday?
Packing.
A. Lot. Of. Packing.
I'm moving here three weeks from tomorrow!

I'll post more details soon, but in the mean time, here are some of my favorites from around the web this week:

Keep Calm Gallery has some of the coolest screen prints I've seen.

Taza makes custom wedding headbands.

Cushendall residents received some mysterious letters.

I love this post on dress design decor... probably has something to do with my crazy shoe obsession!

This photo on English Muse makes me want to take an evening stroll along the beach.

I think I want everything from this shop!

Yulia may be my new favorite artist.

GORGEOUS wedding invitations.

Have a lovely weekend!

Kara & Mike

I hope everyone had a fantastic Independence Day weekend - I know I did! I kicked it off on Friday photographing Kara & Mike's wedding in Pelham. I just loved working with K+M. They're both so sweet and so laid back and it's apparent that they're best friends. Kara is a kindergarten teacher and not only did some of her kids attend the ceremony at Our Lady of Perpetual Help (which has gorgeous stained glass windows!), her cute students also made the frames that graced each table displaying the donations made to Maryknoll in their guests' honor.

Once again I had the pleasure of working along side some incredible vendors, including the gracious staff of beautiful Pelham Country Club & awesome DJ Wayde West!

I have been having the BEST time going through these photos - their portraits are among my favorites. I hope you like them!



















Here's a photo of me, Kara, Mike & John Ciombor toward the end of the reception:

Coming Soon...

Enjoy your 4th!

I'm shooting Kara & Mike's wedding in Pelham today, and then barbecue hopping tomorrow - any big plans for the holiday weekend?

Here are some of my favorite finds from around the web this week:

Perfectly purple wedding inspiration.

Some gorgeous dianas from the Dominican Republic.

The worst wedding planning advice.

A gorgeous 40's inspired wedding.

A different take on Lady Gaga's Poker Face.

Some really beautiful photos of a great photographer & her husband in Hawaii (I especially love the underwater ones!)

Sweet new cards coming to MadeByGirl.

& in case you missed it, H&M's gorgeous wedding at Shadowbrook, complete with the prettiest butterfly release, and the latest issue of New Jersey Bride featuring yours truly!

Have a gorgeous weekend!

Hayley & Mario

On Friday, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Hayley & Mario's wedding. Not only were H&M so great to photograph (remember the engagement session?) but their reception had such great energy - it was so fun! Besides that, Hayley chose the most beautiful shade of green for her bridesmaids & they had such a gorgeous setting at the Shadowbrook in Shrewsbury, New Jersey.

And do you recognize this girl from this wedding last year?
She & her husband were both there & it was so great seeing them!!

Here's a shot of John, Mario, Hayley & I at the end of the night :)

I hope you like the photos!!
