What a pleasure it was to photograph the Christening of these two adorable twins! What a wonderful family and I wish you the best!

I was in awe of the meticulous handmade outfits, bibs, and bedspreads. What a talented Grandma they have! Reception followed immediately at Portuguese Fisherman in South River.

Enjoy!

I had a wonderful time shooting again with my friend Marco, the Videographer at Costa Del Sol. His studio is Marco Antonio Studio and he caters to a large Portuguese and Brazilian community. I have known Marco many years and we have shot MANY events together- always having a great time! I handled the photography for the event while he handled video, and I was very impressed with Gabby and her friends and family- what an awesome teen and I wish her the best! It was also fun to learn that one of the photographers (Jackie Photography) in a new Facebook Photography Group I joined had done the photography for the posters that I found myself admiring all night. We coincidentally realized it and I thought that was so nice.

Enjoy!

This was my first show at Park Avenue Club’s Bridal Show. I had such a wonderful time and met so many talented vendors and interesting people. I wanted to photograph my table so I brought along a camera and I’m glad I did because I was suddenly bit by the photo bug and HAD to cover the event. Hey, its my nature! And I’m so glad I did because it reveals what a lovely show it is.

This is my table- we each had a raffle at our tables and I used a hand-painted faux vintage trunk as my raffle box, and I brought some odds and ends from home to make it my home away from home. Congratulations to Vivian who won the complimentary Engagement Session and Brittany who won a $100 Gift Certificate towards Wedding Coverage!

Wow, what a bash- I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. It was truly outstanding! What a great job and so much fun. I want to thank my team for helping me with the coverage that evening- could not have done it without them. With over 400 guests and every room filled with action, there was a lot to cover! Two live bands, a DJ, a gameroom, two full ballrooms and a dessert room, a photobooth and memoir room, the Mayor of Westfield and Fire Chief, an excellent magician, and cool, entertaining characters interacting with guests, we were busy, busy, busy! Even Miss New Jersey wouldn’t miss it!

Thanks to: John Curia, Jake Curia, James DiMascio, and Marco Leite for all their help. Thanks to Cindy Williams for honoring me with the privilege of being their chosen photography studio for this once in a lifetime event.

Enjoy!

Started this lovely day at Liz’s house- made our way to St. Theresa’s in Kenilworth, then off to The Westwood in Garwood, NJ. Had a wonderful time working with Liz and Dan and wish them much happiness! Lisa at The Westwood handled the floral arrangements, which were the most colorful, adorable little dainty bouquets.

Shot this wedding for my long time friend/associate Marco’s company. He is a very good friend in the business and the only person outside of my company that I work with. This is his gig and I even featured him in a collage- he’s holding that adorable baby! LOL

Very sweet couple- wish them much happiness. Started the day at the bride’s, off to church, then off to the gorgeous Nanina’s in the Park.

Enjoy!
