Sea Isle City Engagement Session: Billy + Amy

On a warm Sunday evening in July, I met Billy and Amy in their favorite place Sea Isle for their engagement session. As we started off in the sand and towards the ocean by the dunes and then Billy told me his family was gathered on the beach still. So we had to head over to take a photo with them! They were sitting in a circle, laughing, talking, and if his is any indication of how fun the wedding is going to be… let’s just say I’m ready for a good time! Amy and Bill twirled, toasted, ran and cuddled… all the fun things that take place during an engagement session. I’m so excited for their wedding TOMORROW. Join my in congratulating the very happy couple!

Batsto Village Engagement, Hammonton, New Jersey: Taylor and Matt

Taylor contacted me specifically looking for a winter engagement session. I was THRILLED because usually clients want the warmth of summer or the leaves falling, so I love when someone comes along and shakes things up! Taylor and Matt landed on Batsto Village in Hammonton for their session location. Batsto is such a great spot- there are so many great locations/textures, there’s water, tall grass, rustic buildings, and to top it off- it’s DOG friendly! Which brings me to the star of the engagement session- Archie, their adorable pup. Well he wasn’t the star, but I sure thought he was the cutest teddy bear I ever saw. Taylor and Matt, we had an amazing session, congratulations on your engagement!!

Allaire State Park Engagement: Kyle and Meghan

Yesterday was one of those unicorn kind of days- 50 degrees in February with plenty of sunshine- perfect for Kyle and Meghan’s engagement session at Allaire State Park in Wall Township, New Jersey. I learned some interesting insights into their lives- like how Meghan likes to have “just a bite” of Kyle’s french onion soup, but has a little too much and was told she needs to get her own from now on. Or when I asked, jokingly, which kind of dog they would each be, Kyle immediately answered German Shepard and Meghan answered Golden Retriever. I loved that they took my advice and went out for dinner after their engagement session. I think making the engagement session a part of the wedding experience is so much fun- much like having the cake tasting- it should all be enjoyed! Meghan and Kyle are getting married this fall at Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm and I’m so excited to capture it!

Ridley Creek State Park Engagement, Media, Pennsylvania Engagement: Rob and Heather

Heather and Rob’s engagement session was my last session of the year- December 30, 2018. Typically, my season quiets down in November, but this year, I was lucky enough to have several winter weddings and ended the year on a beautiful December afternoon with these two who were home visiting family in PA for the holidays. I had actually run into Heather and Rob the day before their engagement session, while I was photographing a wedding at their venue. We had the warmest winter sunlight, and they also brought along their adorable pup, Lucy, so we could grab a family photo. I cannot wait to see Heather and Rob again this summer at The Flanders Hotel for their wedding!

Ridley Creek State Park Engagement, Pennsylvania: Joe + Amy

Joe and Amy wanted a gorgeous location for their engagement photos with lots of greenery and somewhere their pups could enjoy as well. They came up with the gorgeous Ridley Creek State Park in Pennsylvania and I'm so glad they did! The Hunting Hill Mansion at Ridley Creek State Park, is now used as a wedding venue, and my goodness, how could you go wrong with such a stunning backdrop? Amy and Joe are so much fun to be around- joking every minute, so grabbing smiles was not an issue! Cheers to Amy and Joe’s gorgeous Ridley Creek engagement session!
