Amanda and Matt's Windrift Beach Wedding - Windrift Hotel Wedding - South Jersey Wedding Photographer

Amanda and Matt had the most gorgeous wedding at the Windrift hotel in Avalon, NJ. The Windrift is a favorite of mine because it provides a stunning backdrop and they are awesome to work with. How can you go wrong with the stunning, blue reception room and a wedding on the beach?!

Matt and Amanda got ready at the hotel in their suites. It was a very relaxed morning full of laughs and some champagne! The weather was perfect for their ceremony on the beach and then portraits after. The sunlight on the beach was ah-ma-zing! The dunes behind the Windrift are always a favorite spot of mine for portraits. The sun just peaks over the top in a beautiful way that perfectly backlights the couple.

After we were done with the ceremony and portraits we headed inside for delicious food and the party! We love when the dance floor is packed and Amanda and Matt’s friend’s didn’t disappoint! They came ready to dance! It was such an amazing day from start to end!

Renault Winery Wedding - Egg Harbor City, NJ

Angela and Mark held their wedding at the beautiful Renault Winery. They embraced the fall with pumpkins throughout their wedding decor, along with touches of wood and calligraphy. I’m not sure if I loved the glass pumpkin centerpieces or the pumpkins lining the aisle with the key moments of their lives together.

The rain threatened throughout the day to ruin the ceremony but it held off and they enjoyed saying their vows in the vineyard with the tall pines as their backdrop. Mark surprised Angela with a horse drawn carriage that whisked them off for some sunset portraits on the golf course. The final surprise came when zombies invaded during the entrances. They danced to thriller and then welcomed Mark and Angela in. The dance floor stayed packed all night long after that. It was an amazing day from start to finish!

Kiah and Sonny's Vow Renewal - South Jersey Wedding Photographer Medford, NJ

On a warm, rainy day in June I headed to Pine Hill, NJ for Sonny and Kiah's vow renewal. The day was incorporating two religious ceremonies so our first stop was the Sikh Gurdwara of Pine Hill. It was my first time photographing a Sihk wedding ceremony and everyone was so welcoming! Kiah and Sonny are surrounded by such wonderful family and friends. After the beautiful ceremony we headed to Medford, NJ to have a 2nd ceremony. The rain had started to come down before we went into the morning Sihk ceremony but the weather cleared in time for us to head to Kiah and Sonny's house in Medford, NJ. After we took some portraits Kiah then changed into her wedding gown. She looked stunning in both outfits! After she changed we did a first look since Sonny and Kiah hadn't seen each other yet since she changed. Afterwards we headed to the backyard for the Christian ceremony and then the reception. The entire day was so wonderful from start to finish and the weather held off for us!
