There wedding was very elegant.   The reception and Chinese Tea Ceremony took place at the Princeton Marriot Hotel. Alison changed into a gorgeous red gown to honor their relatives by serving tea.  What a beautiful way to show respect.  Alison and Drew’s first dance was to the song “I won’t dance” which was awesome!  Drew needed some coaxing to dance:)  Guests danced the night away to the music of Elegant Ensembles.

Alison and Drew- thank you so much for allowing me to capture your day.  It was a pleasure.

Ocean Cliff is an amazing venue and offers spectacular views of the Newport bridge…truly a beautiful New England destination.  Cat and Jeremy made quite a dashing couple.  The gorgeous flowers we put together by Philadelphia florist Chartreuse.

I had so much fun…congratulations Cat & Jeremy!!!

Enjoy!

Dina and Tom make such a sweet couple.  I especially love when they recounted the story of how Tom proposed.  He asked her on the “top of the rock” in NYC in the middle of winter.  It was freezing outside, but Dina said she barely felt the cold because she was so happy.  I just love stories like that:)

The following are some photos from their engagement session taken on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, NJ.

enjoy!  xoxo

Thanks so much to the fabulous ladies who took part and to my fabulous concierge Nathalie!

Here are some shots from the beautiful Miss S’ goddess session.

The lobby has beautiful ornate chairs…perfect for boudoir photos!

Billiards and boudoir:)

We met up on a gorgeous Sunday in Brooklyn.  The sky was a beautiful blue and white snow was piled on the ground- perfect for a winter wedding bridal session.    Snow- but not actually snowing!  Sarah put on her fabulous gown and cowgirl boots…and we headed the Brooklyn bridge! My amazing Mike came too to help with all the props (thank you sweetheart.) It was a great day…and we only got yelled at once by a cyclist:)

Thanks again Sarah for being such a wonderful bride- you make me love what I do even more!
