We had the pleasure of photographing Tim & Kim last month at Allaire Chapel (a favorite!) and The Water’s Edge (another favorite!). A beautiful day resulted in beautiful images. The weather in April in NJ can be challenging, but we had a great day in the park and on the beach. We were also lucky enough to work with some of our favorite people:

Congratulations Tim & Kim!

Our Belmar beach e-session couple finally tied the knot on a beautiful April weekend. Rachael and Chris have a great love story that involves running. He proposed at a race and they have been off and running ever since (ha-ha, pun intended!) This couple indulged us with some race props on the wedding day, with great results! Specially ordered sneakers from Nike were the perfect touch. The party continued at The Waterview Pavilion in Belmar. We loved working with you guys - we are still talking about your wedding.
Breakfast of Champions!

This is how you look when your bridal party gives you a Fine Art Wedding Album as a gift!!! The bride’s sister contacted me to purchase a gift certificate from CLB for an album - a BIG album!!!
Good times racing down the boardwalk
We are looking forward to designing a beautiful album!
Best,
Suzanne
I love a fun couple in love, congratulations to Patrice and Frank!!! I was hired to photograph their wedding for a few hours 3 days before St. Patrick’s Day. The wedding had a St. Patrick’s Day undertone, which was fun to work with. The ceremony was held at Chateau Inn & Suites in Spring Lake, really a pretty place. The ceremony was at Matisse on the beach in Belmar. Needless to say, this wedding was a blast :).
Enjoy the photos,
Chris

I had the pleasure of shooting a sweet couple for their intimate wedding at one of my favorites - Rum Runner. After 2 weeks of cold and crappy weather, a beautiful sunny day showed up for Meg & Chris. The staff at McLoone’s did a wonderful job with the ceremony and room set-up - thanks to Virginia and Lauren and all the staff. Also, Bonnie from Petal Beach did a great job with the flowers and Brian Kirk and the Jerks gave a great performance. Best Wishes to Meg & Chris!
A BIG congratulations to the new Stephanie and Peter Zelinskie.
What a great couple to start this years wedding season with. Stephanie and Peter where a blast to photograph, we laughed and cracked jokes the entire day. Their ceremony was held within our favorite bed and breakfast north of Cape May, Cedars and Beeches in Long Branch NJ. If you’re looking for a weekend get-away or planning an intimate wedding, this is the place!

Come on couples always kiss during their wedding - Pillow Fights are much more fun 
Finally - I am all caught up with our blog posts for 2008 weddings! We ended our year with a great couple, Matt & Lara, with a beautiful New Year’s Eve wedding at Ocean Place Resort and Spa in Long Branch, NJ. The boys relaxed with a shave at “Shaves” in Wall, NJ while Lara and the girls glammed it up at home in Freehold, NJ. This was possibly the most laid-back couple yet, with a few major differences in wedding themes. They had an “Un”-bridal party - everyone involved got to wear what ever they wanted and never once complained about taking picutres!!! We were banned from the aisles of church, so we perched ourselves up in the balcony for artsy ceremony photos - loved it! College pride took over: the bride attended Michigan State and the groom is Fighting Irish from Notre Dame. But in the end, New Year’s came and a great time was had by all. Congratulations Matt and Lara!!!
Cold feet? Not Matt…

Best Friends!
Seeing her groom for the 1st time.
Beautiful, old church - very drafty from our perch in the balcony!
Chris being creative - I just really like this shot. Killer shoes!
1st kiss of 2009!

We had a great time with Dana and Smitty in November 2008 at Branches. This beautiful venue lended itself wonderfully for pictures inside since it was cold and dark outside. Dayna and Smitty had a great time with the pictures, too. My beautiful bride (yes, my bride!) was relaxed and calm the entire day which made it so easy to photograph her.
Our special thanks to:
Branches - Long Branch
Dominic @ Elite Entertainment - great music!
India, maid-of-honor, sister of the bride - thank you for bringing this wonderful couple to us!
Dayna had a bit of a stressful time with her dress shop, so I love this shot!
Proud mom in the background.
I love the bridal suite’s mural!
This cute TV guide was designed by Dayna and Smitty for their guests. It was filled with cool puzzles and quizzes about the couple.
Hey, look - even we made it on our blog!

So, I have to be honest when I say I am a slacker sometimes. But, proudly, I can say I am almost at the end of the 2008 wedding blogs. Lori and Kevin had a very hot, but beautiful day on Sept. 14, 2008 at Mercer Oaks Country Club. Kevin and the guys enjoyed some golf beforehand and Lori spent time with her daughter and her best friend.
The butterflies were released to represent Lori’s dad. Those butterflies refused to leave us for most of the day - wow! And the LOVIN drink at the bar - very tasty!!! Good thing I don’t drink on the job! Take a look…
Enjoy! - Suzanne
