Caragh & Brian at the Beautiful Belle Mer in Newport, Rhode Island

As I am catching up with blogging my summer weddings, I have to say, I love thinking about being on the beach right now! Caragh and Brian had a beautiful, elegant wedding in June, which was my second time photographing a wedding at Belle Mer. They used bright pinks for their florals – again done by the very talented  Stoneblossom – and the bridesmaids wore gorgeous Coren Moore in navy blue. Caragh’s dress was Jenny Lee Couture that she bought at Mark Ingrahm’s Bridal Alteier in NYC.  And something I’ve never seen before: Brian changed jackets and wore a white dinner jacket for the reception. Went really well for their first song: “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliet.  Caragh and Brian immediately made everyone feel welcomed and were extremely gracious to all involved. Loved it!!!

Liz & Brendan’s E-session in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia

Picked another hot, but beautiful day to take Liz & Brendan’s engagement photos in Philadelphia! I really love doing these engagement photo sessions, and getting to know my clients a little better. What a great job I have :) Thank you Liz and Brendan – and I LOVED going to the Phillies game!! Can’t wait to see what we’ll do for your wedding at The Curtis Center in 2010!

October 13th is Etched in my Heart Forever

With hope and faith that someday the disease of breast cancer will be eradicated. Every year in October since 2000, a project I have proudly worked on with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation of North Jersey, entitled “Journeys of Courage”, is on display throughout the Mall at Short Hills. These are portraits of breast cancer survivors and people I greatly admire. I photograph them with love and admiration, and in honor of my sister, Karen, who lost her battle on this day in 1988 at the age of 34. It is so encouraging to see how far research has taken us. It’s also a time to remind our sisters, moms, and daughters to get their mammograms!
