Getting to Know – Shawna & Brad – Sea Isle City, NJ

July 10, 2010

Shawna was a bridesmaid at a wedding I captured in 2007.  She wanted to have her GTKY session in Sea Isle City and her parents have a house down there which was at a perfect spot.  The day we had their session was spitting rain the entire time we shot, but it just added to the ambiance.  They also brought their dogs with them for the shoot.  Anyone who knows me understands my love for pups!  I also took them to the carnival that was under construction in Sea Isle.  We had an awesome session and can’t wait until their wedding in March of 2011. 


I thought this mailbox was ridiculous, so of course we have a series of images from this ;)

Getting to Know – Jill & Ryan – Playa Mujeres, Mexico

This is the first time I photographed a Getting to Know You session in another country.  We captured their session the day prior to Jill & Ryan’s wedding.  The setting is beautiful and I could have photographed all day there. Excellence Resort in Playa Mujeres, Mexico has so many different locations to create photos in that it is absolutely perfect.  This was captured just a few hours after our plane landed in Cancun.

The bugs by the pool were out of control, good thing I always bring bug spray with me on shoots.

Photoshow – Getting to Know – Katie & Phil – West Long Branch, NJ

February 8, 2010


Getting to Know – Katie & Phil – West Long Branch, NJ

It turned out to be a beautiful day for Katie and Phil. They met during college at Monmouth University, so it was the obvious location for their GTKY session. Katie and Phil are very cool people with a classic, vintage style about them.  Phil loves James Dean, so I studied some of the iconic portraits of the actor and we took some shots of Phil in the same fashion. We hurried to the beach to finish our session.  Phil broke out some acoustic guitar, which he is rather awesome at.  This couple will be getting married this fall at The Merion in Cinnaminson.
