Happy Father's Day!

 •  NEW JERSEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER •

"A father’s love is silent strength—always there, always felt, even when unspoken."

Father’s Day is a reminder of the quiet strength, the early mornings, and the way you pour yourself into this family, day after day.

Today, I just want to say thank you—to my husband, the man who shows up with love, patience, and steady hands. You make this family stronger and warmer, simply by being you. Watching you be a dad is one of my favorite things in life.The way you listen, guide, and love our kids is something I admire more than I can put into words.

Happy Father’s Day. You’re everything they need in a dad, and everything I need in a partner. We’re lucky, and we know it.

Love always. 💙

And a very Happy Father's Day to my dad in Poland - Kocham Cię, Tato!

Meghan + Brian • Central Park Engagement

• NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER •

There’s something about spring in Central Park that slows the world down. For a few hours, the chaos of the city fades into the background, and you’re left with soft light, blooming trees, and moments that feel like they’re meant just for two people. That was exactly the vibe of Meghan and Brian’s engagement session—calm, intimate, and full of genuine connection.

We started at Bethesda Terrace, where the classic stone arches gave us the perfect setting. From there, we wandered to Bow Bridge, surrounded by the first fresh greens of the season and pops of spring color. Although full of life, the park felt quiet in that rare, magical way, and it let Meghan and Brian just be themselves—laughing, talking, soaking it in.

As we walked, they told me about their wedding plans and shared the story of how Brian proposed. It happened in London, over afternoon tea at the St. Pancras Hotel. Thoughtful and low-key—completely in tune with who they are as a couple: grounded, easygoing, and deeply connected.

They met through mutual friends during a weekend in the Poconos, and from their first date at a cozy French restaurant in NYC, it was clear they had something solid. Meghan says what she loves most about Brian is how caring, kind, and smart he is—and how he’s her biggest supporter. Brian says it’s her kind heart and beautiful smile that pulled him in.

Together, they’re steady and chill. They love trying new restaurants, traveling, reading, and watching documentaries. Their favorite trip so far? Greece in 2023—sun, food, views, and memories they still talk about.

They’re planning a spring 2026 wedding at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club, a venue they love for its lush florals and stone exterior. Meghan says it feels like being in England—and it’s the perfect backdrop for the timeless, romantic day they’re dreaming of.

If this session is any indication, their wedding will be full of love, meaning, and joy. I can’t wait to capture it.

Congratulations, Meghan & Brian!

Happy Mother's Day!

“Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had… and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.” — Linda Wooten

Motherhood is equal parts chaos and heart. It’s losing your patience, then melting at a smile five minutes later. It’s the noise, the mess, the magic — all rolled into one.

Today’s for the moms doing the everyday, unspectacular things that matter more than anyone realizes.

And today, I’m especially grateful — for the love, the lessons, and the little moments that make it all worth it.

Happy Mother’s Day!

And to my own mom, all the way in Poland — thank you for everything. I carry your strength with me every day. Kocham Cię, Mamo!

Kayla + Matthew • The Refinery at Perona Farms Wedding

  • NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER •

Kayla and Matt’s wedding last September at The Refinery was one of those days where everything just clicks. Perfect weather, a stunning setting, and a couple deeply in love—it all came together in the best way.

They kept their ceremony personal with handwritten vows that hit everyone right in the heart. It was quiet, emotional, and honest—the kind of moment you don’t forget.

The style was effortlessly elegant. Bridesmaids wore champagne silk dresses that looked amazing in the soft light, and the groomsmen kept it sharp in black tuxes and bow ties. The floral design was classic: white blooms with rich greenery that gave the whole day a clean, timeless look.

Start to finish, it was the kind of celebration that reminds me why I love weddings in the first place.

Here’s to Kayla and Matt—wishing them nothing but good things ahead.

Congratulations!

Maria + Chris • Rutherford Engagement Session

 • NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER •

Some love stories begin in unexpected places, but for Maria and Chris, it all started right at home. Last November, I had the honor of capturing their engagement session in the heart of Rutherford—where their journey first began. Every location we visited held a special piece of their history, making the session not just a photo shoot, but a walk down memory lane.

We began in their childhood neighborhood, strolling through the familiar streets where they grew up. There was something incredibly nostalgic about revisiting the places where their friendship first blossomed. The highlight? Stopping by the football field where Chris once played, with Maria cheering him on from the sidelines. Standing there together again, this time as an engaged couple, brought a beautiful sense of closure to one chapter and excitement for the next.

From there, we made our way to Lincoln Park in downtown Rutherford. The fall colors were in full bloom, painting the backdrop with warm hues of gold, amber, and crimson. Despite the autumn setting, the day felt more like summer—bright, joyful, and full of energy, mirroring the love between Maria and Chris. The sunlight filtered through the trees just right, casting a golden glow over every shot. It was one of those sessions where every moment felt effortless, as if the universe itself was celebrating their love.

Engagement sessions are always special, but there’s something uniquely magical about capturing a couple’s love story in the place where it all began. Maria and Chris’ journey has come full circle, from childhood friends to high school sweethearts to soon-to-be husband and wife. 

I am beyond excited to photograph the next chapter of their love story this August.

Congratulations! 

Carey + Christian • Willowwood Arboretum Parents-to-be Session

 • NEW JERSEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER • 

One of the greatest joys of my work is getting to be part of so many love stories—documenting the big milestones, the quiet moments, and everything in between. Watching couples grow, from engagements to weddings and beyond, is a privilege I cherish every day.

Carey and Christian’s journey has been one of those incredible stories. From capturing their engagement to their wedding, and now their maternity session, I’ve loved witnessing their love deepen with each chapter. Their session was simply magical—the golden hour light, the love in their eyes, and the quiet anticipation of this new beginning made every moment so special.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do. 

Carey and Christian, thank you for allowing me to document your love story—I couldn’t be happier for you both and can’t wait to see the love and joy this new chapter brings!

Samantha is 13!

• NEW JERSEY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER • 

Today marks an incredible milestone—Samantha is officially a teenager! It feels like just yesterday she was a little girl, full of wonder and curiosity, and now she is stepping confidently into her teenage years, growing into an extraordinary young person.

This past year has been nothing short of amazing. Samantha's hard work and dedication paid off as she earned a spot in both Algebra Honors and English Honors—an achievement that speaks volumes about her intelligence, determination, and perseverance. She continues to thrive in school, challenging herself and pushing beyond limits with a drive that is truly inspiring.

Beyond academics, she shined in cheerleading during the fall season, bringing energy, spirit, and dedication to the sidelines. Her love for tumbling remains strong, and it’s incredible to see her grow stronger and more confident with each practice. Whether it’s nailing a new skill or supporting her teammates, her passion is undeniable.

Sam also took the stage this winter in her middle school play, Legally Blonde, where she showcased her love for singing and acting. Performing brings her so much joy, and it’s amazing to see her confidence grow as she steps into different roles and shares her talent with others.

One of the most remarkable things about her is how beautifully she balances ambition with kindness. She is smart, funny, curious, and fiercely driven, but she is also compassionate and full of heart. She makes people laugh, asks thoughtful questions, and approaches life with a determination that is inspiring. Watching her grow—not just in height (she’s almost as tall as her mom now!) but in wisdom and character—brings so much joy.

As Sam enters her teenage years, she will undoubtedly continue to take on the world with the same energy and passion that she always has. It will be exciting to see all the amazing things she will accomplish, the memories she will create, and the adventures that lie ahead. No matter how tall she grows or how many years pass, she will always be the little girl who stole my heart.

Happy 13th birthday, my Love! 

You are truly an inspiration, and this new chapter is sure to be just as amazing as you are. 

Heidi & Joe • The Madison Hotel Wedding

   • NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER •

Last September, love was in full bloom at The Madison Hotel as Heidi and Joe exchanged their vows in a breathtaking celebration. With their closest family and friends by their side, they transformed this already stunning venue into the perfect setting for their love story.

The day began with an elegant ceremony in The Conservatory, where natural light poured through the glass ceiling, creating a magical atmosphere. Heidi looked radiant as she walked down the aisle, and Joe’s expression was pure joy as he saw his bride. 

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued with an unforgettable reception filled with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt toasts. The Madison Hotel provided the perfect blend of sophistication and charm, with its elegant décor setting the tone for an evening of pure magic. From the delicious cuisine to the carefully curated music that kept the dance floor alive, every detail of the night reflected Heidi and Joe’s love and personalities.

As the night came to a close, it was clear that this was more than just a wedding—it was a true celebration of love, family, and the beginning of a beautiful new chapter. 

Cheers to Heidi and Joe—may your love story continue to be as magical as the day you said “I do.”

Gianna & Aaron • Bear Brook Valley Wedding

  • NEW JERSEY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER •

Last August, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Gianna and Aaron’s wedding at the breathtaking Bear Brook Valley. The day was nothing short of magical, filled with heartfelt moments, laughter, and love that overflowed from every corner.

While the day began with a bit of rain, the weather added an unexpected touch of romance to the occasion. As the sky cleared intermittently, we seized every opportunity to step outside and capture stunning outdoor photos. 

Bear Brook Valley provided the perfect backdrop for the celebration, with its blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The couple chose a sophisticated color palette of navy blue, gold, and white, which was beautifully reflected in every detail of the day. From the stunning floral arrangements to the beautifully designed table settings, the décor perfectly complemented the couple’s timeless style.

The ceremony itself was a deeply emotional affair filled with touching moments. Gianna and Aaron’s vows were heartfelt and deeply personal, reflecting the love and respect they have for each other. As a photographer, these intimate moments are a privilege to capture.

The reception that followed was a lively celebration of the newlyweds. Heartfelt speeches from family and friends brought laughter, tears, and rounds of applause, while the dance floor buzzed with energy. Gianna and Aaron’s joy was contagious, and it was clear that their love had brought everyone together in celebration.

Congratulations, Gianna and Aaron, on your beautiful wedding day and the start of your new journey together. Thank you for letting me be a part of such an extraordinary celebration—it was truly an honor to capture your love story.
