{Betsy and Jeremy} A New Jersey Destination Wedding

This is quite possibly one of the biggest blog posts I’ve done in a while… Betsy and Jeremy were married in New Jersey recently and I had the honor and privilege of flying out to document their big day! Betsy actually booked me ages ago! I feel like by the time we actually met we had become good friends and it was so much fun to shoot her wedding. Every last detail was perfect. This wedding, the scenery, the people, and everything was really elegant but casual and I felt like it was the perfect fit for my photography. When I first started narrowing down images for this wedding, I had 90. It was really a struggle to even get it down to this many but here are a few of my favorites… enjoy!

Your portraits should do more than live on a hard drive—they should be printed, framed, and enjoyed every day. If you’d like help designing artwork for your home, I’d love to guide you.

A little saltwater, a lot of love, and two kids who refuse to stay dry for more than 30 seconds! The kind of session where no one wants it to end because everyone’s having too much fun.
I believe portraits should be simple, natural, and full of love—not stiff or overly posed. If that’s the style you’re looking for, let’s make it happen.

Some families I’ve photographed since before their kids were born. Now those kids are teens. That long-term connection is what makes this work so meaningful. If you’d like that kind of relationship, let’s start today.
