Kayla + Matthew • Sandy Hook Engagement
• NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER •
Amidst the golden hour's warm embrace, Kayla and Matthew's love story unfolded on the picturesque shores of Sandy Hook last August. As the setting sun cast a soft glow across the sand, I was so excited to capture their engagement session filled with so much love and laughter.
Their journey began in the halls of high school, where their paths first crossed. While the details of their first date may have faded, a simple lunch, perhaps, shared after school, it was the beginning of their love story.
Fast forward to a breathtaking evening on Cape Cod beach, where Matthew dropped to one knee, professing his love and leaving Kayla speechless. And of all the places they've traveled together, it is Cape Cod that holds a special place in their hearts—the backdrop for their engagement and the beginning of their journey towards forever.
Reflecting on what draws them most to each other, Kayla speaks fondly of Matthew's good heart, his unwavering kindness, and his ability to find the beauty in every soul. For Matthew, it is Kayla's infectious sense of humor that captivates him most. Her laughter, genuine and effervescent, has the power to light up every room.
As a couple, they are the perfect balance of opposites—complementary in their differences yet united by a shared vision for their future. Whether breaking a sweat at the gym, strolling hand in hand along the beach, or whipping up culinary delights in the kitchen, Kayla and Matthew find so much joy in each other's company.
As they danced among the waves on Sandy Hook Beach, basking in the golden glow of the setting sun, Kayla and Matthew’s chemistry and connection were so evident! From the way they laughed together to the tender glances exchanged, it was clear that their love was deep and genuine.
Congratulations, Kayla & Matthew!
I am so excited to capture the next chapter of your love story- your wedding day this September!

Brianna + Nicholas • Bear Brook Valley Wedding
• NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER •
The couple chose this picturesque venue for its serene outdoor setting. Surrounded by their family and friends, Brianna and Nicholas exchanged their vows in a dreamy outdoor ceremony.
The couple's beloved pups Bailey, added a touch of playfulness to the ceremony. Dressed in a flower collar, Bailey trotted down the aisle, capturing the hearts of everyone present. Her tail wagging with joy, Bailey brought an extra layer of love to Brianna and Nicholas' special day.
After the ceremony, as the sun began to set, we took advantage of the golden hour for Brianna and Nick's portraits. The warm and golden glow cast a magical ambiance, creating captivating images against the backdrop of the vineyard and a few blooming trees adding a delicate touch of white.
May your journey through life continue to be as beautiful and captivating as your wedding day.
