I just had to share one (OK, two!) photos from Katsura and Adam’s Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding this past Saturday. :)

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!

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!

Sarah was all smiles! From the moment I met up with her at the Pink Comb Salon, to the moment I left the reception, she seriously lit up the room with her bright eyes and gorgeous smile! Of course, I should have expected this since I had the same experience with Sarah and Drew at their engagement session. :) Check out my favorite photos from their amazing wedding – I think they radiate the happiness felt on that day!
Her dress, from Kleinfeld, was incredible and so perfect for her! And I love, love, love her bouquet.
It’s one of the best moments of the day when the bride’s father sees her for the first time in her wedding gown!
Their first look was so sweet, so heartfelt:
They’re pretty gorgeous, no? :)
Again, all smiles at the ceremony!
I loved these tender moments after the ceremony:
They had such a great connection, and Drew is ALWAYS making Sarah laugh. I love that. :) And I love this gorgeous wide photo on the right, below, from my assisting photographer, Pete!
Drew knew how to get the crowd dancing!
Wow, Sarah and Drew, thank you for being such an outstanding bride and groom and for allowing me to be there to capture the AMAZING moments of your day. I can’t believe how perfect you both are for each other! Congratulations! I hope you’re having a fabulous time in Vegas! I’m jealous!

I had such a hard time narrowing down the images for this post! Jessica and Gregory are an absolutely beautiful couple. I mean, drop-dead gorgeous. Jessica’s bridal portraits alone took me hours to sort through because I just kept stopping to admire how amazing they looked!
One of the most special aspects of the day was this incredible fact: Jess did her own flowers with the help of her mother and her bridesmaids. All of the flowers. Bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, the flowers on the cake. Everything! I was seriously floored by her talent. Please, read on and enjoy these images from one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve had the privilege of photographing this year!
Love this shot of Greg that my second-shooter Pete captured.
See what I mean? Gorgeous bride, gorgeous flowers. I still can’t believe she did them herself!
The couple made time for a “First Look” before their ceremony and it was such a beautiful moment. They knew that this was a sure way to get the BEST romantic, emotional images on their day – and they definitely got them!
Remember, Jess is the mastermind behind the flowers! Amazing!
The dancing was absolutely fantastic.
I loved using the stems of a bouquet for the ring shot, and the LOVELY cake decorated with flowers by Jessica and her mom!
Jess and Greg, I can’t thank you enough for being such a great couple to photograph. I was so honored to be there for your beautiful, amazing day! Thank you!
