I just had to share one (OK, two!) photos from Katsura and Adam’s Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding this past Saturday. :)
Remember Jen & Anthony’s gorgeous wedding from this spring? Well, I was lucky enough to photograph them again! Since they weren’t able to coordinate an engagement session before their wedding, they opted to do a session after the wedding – and it was so much fun! The Planting Fields at Oyster Bay are drop-dead gorgeous in the summertime, so it was the perfect location for their shoot. Here are a few of my favorite photos of this wonderful couple from what I like to call their Just Married! photo session.

I LOVE beach weddings. There is something incredibly special about standing at the edge of the ocean, the salty sea air blowing through your hair, and the sound of a guitar strumming as the ceremony begins. Lauren and Jonathan’s beautiful, breezy, beach wedding was held right in the middle of the public beach in Spring Lake, New Jersey, on a very busy Saturday at the Jersey Shore! It was so cool when their guests descended upon the sand to stake out a gorgeous spot near the water where the couple would exchange their vows, right next to sunbathers and swimmers!
As Lauren got ready for the day, I was intrigued by the pearls on her shoes. :)
Special thanks to Pete for helping me out with shots of Jonathan getting ready!
The porch at The Breakers on the Ocean was the perfect place for their first look!
Don’t you just love their smiles?!
We had a few moments before the ceremony for wedding pictures on the beach. Love that these women walking by stopped to applaud and congratulate Lauren!
Here is the moment where all the guests began lining up to find a perfect spot on the beach for the ceremony!
I absolutely adore this photo of Lauren’s dad’s kiss of approval for Jonathan!
Everyone gathered in close for their vows.
The seaside theme continued with their escort cards and cake.
And the smiles never left their faces at the reception.
Later in the evening, Lauren changed into a gorgeous red dress, and her mother gathered gold and jade jewelry handed down through the generations for her to wear. Some of her other relatives also gave her new pieces to wear, and it was such a beautiful tradition!
I love this moment with everyone dancing around the bride and groom.
And one final shot on the beach in the gorgeous evening light.
Lauren and Jonathan, thank you so much for being such an amazing couple and for being so relaxed in front of the camera. I had an absolutely joy-filled time at your wedding, and I feel so lucky to have been your photographer!

Beautiful shots! The beach looks perfect – I’m kind of glad those people didn’t move out of the pavilion.September 1, 2010 – 5:36 pm
I don’t know why I’d never been to Asbury Park before this shoot. There are SO. MANY. AMAZING. COLORS. I loved it. I would even shoot there in the rain – which I did with Jenn and Phil! Even though it was misting for the first part of our session, they were troopers and stuck with me to prove that it’s possible to make incredible photographs on a rainy day. Check out my favorites from their engagement session and don’t forget to leave them some love in the comments. :)
Jenn and Phil – I just can’t wait for your wedding next year! You both are so much fun to be around!

One word… Outstanding!August 30, 2010 – 11:37 am
Hi friends! Just wanted to post a quick note to let you know that I’m in the Windy City August 21-24. I’ll still be easy to reach via e-mail and phone, so please don’t hesitate to e-mail or call. If you’re looking to book a 2011 Chicago, New York, or New Jersey wedding (or 2010 – I have a few dates left!) let me know. I’d love to meet with you while I’m here in Chicago, or in NJ when I return on the 25th!
Since I’ll not be blogging while I’m away from New Jersey, I thought I’d leave you with a few images from some recent weddings, portraits, and engagement sessions. Full blog posts from these shoots are coming up next week! You’re going to love them!
Here’s a peek at Lauren and Jonathan’s gorgeous Spring Lake, NJ, beach wedding:
A glimpse into Jennifer and Phil’s amazing Asbury Park engagement session:
And finally, a sampling of Jen and Anthony’s after-wedding portrait session at the Planting Fields of Oyster Bay, NY:
See you all later next week with lots more photos!
