Baby cousin Tony aka T3 featuring big sister Alyssa

Although he's been here a little over a month now, let me introduce to the world my adorable baby cousin Tony III otherwise known as T3 since his father is a Jr. The proud mom and dad brought this little bundle of joy to me to photograph him at just 10 days old. Here's some of my favorites...

Proud big sister Alyssa joined in on the fun. When she first got to the shoot she decided she wasn't going to take any pictures but one promise to let her play with my little Bichon Frise', Diamond, changed her mind very quickly. And I was shocked to see that she was a natural in front of the camera, I loved her energy and ability to take direction so well. She could really do some damage in the industry, look out world!


And here's the proud poppa, Tony Jr., such a good father and husband. These two together are just too cute!








Alyssa had to get one last shot in before it was time to go home. I love my family!

Lewis & Myriam | Wedding

Okay, so I'm a little late, but better late than never, right? I'm so happy to post the wedding of Lewis & Myriam. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Kip's Castle in Montclair, NJ and God truly blessed them with a gorgeous day. The sun was shining, the temperature was perfect, and the Bride & Groom were absolutely stunning! Here's a peek at their special day...

Chad Pennington assisted me with shooting and he got this great shot of the castle and ceremony space. You can see just how beautiful the weather was. Love it!


LOVED THE SHOES!


A peek at the beautiful Myriam as she prepared to walk down the aisle to meet the love of her life.
Check out the guys...SHARP!

Sorry Lewis, but I had to post this one. Most guys try their best not to cry when they first see their bride coming down the aisle, but they almost always let at least one tear slip out and I don't blame Lewis, his Bride was GORGEOUS!

I can't say it enough, this was a most beautiful ceremony, complete with praise dancers and all.




I love this one, Myriam's face right after being pronounced husband and wife is priceless!

I think she still can't believe it...

Their guests then joined them at a lovely reception at The Richfield Regency in Verona, NJ, and they had an unforgettable PARTY!




Again, I must say it, Myriam was a gorgeous bride! Hair, makeup, dress, flowers, jewelry, and how can I forget the shoes...all flawless!


Lewis and his best men had a little fun with their pictures, they were hilarious. And the bridesmaids were beautiful in those dresses. I love bridesmaid dresses that you can wear again after the wedding. :-)

Working with real pros here...




Thanks again for allowing me to capture your special day. I had a blast!

Donald & Monique Wedding | Preview

For Mr. & Mrs. Devereaux! I couldn't wait to post a preview of their much anticipated wedding day. There were so many beautiful elements of this "Garden of Love" themed wedding and I had soooo much fun. I even found myself out on the dance floor towards the end....don't know how that happened...lol.

Monique has been following the growth of my photography business from conception and in fact used to help me coordinate family portrait days at my church and she's seen just about every photo I've done whether I showed it to her or not...lol. I tried to get away with only posting one teaser photo but I know my Bride isn't having that...right Mrs. Devereax? So here's a few more teasers from that very special day. Enjoy! (P.S. 'Monique Devereaux' is the coolest name ever!)








I can't wait to share the rest of their beautiful day with you!

Milton & Kimila Wedding | Preview

Ahhh, what can I say about Milton & Kim? They are just the sweetest couple ever and so deserving of the love they have found in each other. Milton & Kim have been on the most amazing journey and these two have quite the story to tell. It's almost like a fairy tale, but there is no happy ending to this story, only a happy BEGINNING. Here's a preview into their beautiful beginning...

I love this photo, this is the moment before Kim joined her son and walked down the aisle to meet her future. Like I told her, this moment sums up the entire journey...



I love these girls, they weren't afraid to show me their personalities during our portrait session. Funny stuff!




Stay tuned...there's more to come!
