{ An Ivy Affair • Alison & Drew • Princeton University Wedding }

The first time I spoke to Alison, I knew I was speaking to a remarkable person.  Both she and her beau at the time, Drew had attended Princeton University.  The couple had graduated and are embarking on their bright futures.  I learned they had taken Chinese together at Princeton.  In fact, Drew even taught English in China for a year before they married.  Alison’s very compassionate and caring way, complimented her choice to become a doctor.  In fact if you were to meet Alison, you would probably compare her to Audrey Hepburn, because she exudes elegance and compassion.  If you ask me, they make a perfect match.  Naturally, they chose Princeton campus for their wedding day.

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.

{ Dina & Tom • Asbury Park Engagement Session }

Tom and I have been friends since high school- and through college.  Our group of friends are still my closest and best peeps- ahheim 10 years later.  (Ugh, it hurt to say that, lol.)  When Tom asked me to photograph his wedding to beautiful Dina, I was delighted.  They are getting married in May at the picturesque Rutgers Gardens and I cannot wait.  I know its going to be beautiful…especially with all the blooming May flowers.

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

{ Bungalow Hotel • Goddess Boudoir Marathon }

In February, I hosted my first Goddess Boudoir Marathon at the beautiful, Bungalow Hotel in Pier Village.  It was  fabulous day of shooting.  The most excellent part, we had the entire hotel as our canvas!  Image that!  The hotel is gorgeous..and we were really able to incorporate Bungalow’s unique features in the photos.  The rooms are excellent, each featuring a fireplace and chandelier, but the lobby was the most spectacular.  It had huge rustic trees, fancy chairs, billiard table and more!  A photographers dream!

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:)
