Jayson + Simone | The Mansion at FDU Florham

It was one of those kind of parties! But before we go there, lets talk about the simple beauty and fun of the day. Simone was an absolute dream to photograph while the bridal party was full of hilarious and boisterous characters. We found ourselves following Simone and Jayson of a fun ride of silly, to serious, to romantic, to stoic, to playful during our portrait time. So much in fact that below is barely a sample of what we did. Their families and friends were equally marvelous and spending the day with them was something like a phenomenon. The day ended with a dance celebration that will go down in history. See for yourself below!

Enjoy!

Katharine + Taylor | Ocean Reef Club Wedding

We couldn’t have asked for a better ending to our 2014 wedding season.  Katharine and Taylor’s weekend at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo was full of fun and love.  And when we say ‘fun’, we mean the huge, crazy, celebratory kind that’s infectious… and awesome. We were so happy to connect with Katharine’s family again (we photographed her sister’s wedding in 2012), and it was a pleasure to meet Taylor’s crew.  If there is one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that the people really make the wedding, and with this particular group of friends and family, it was guaranteed to be amazing.  It didn't hurt that they had the best band we’ve ever heard at a wedding, Soul Survivors, who kept the dance floor packed for the duration.

Thanks so much for including us!  We wish you endless years of the love and happiness that is in evidence below...

Looking back and moving forward

This was an amazing year for Kristiaan and me. Really amazing, but also a challenging year, in a good way. We grew in many ways, as photographers, a couple and as individuals. From our life changing Foundation Workshop experience to personal hurdles and accomplishments we would not be where we are without you, our inspiring and incredible clients, couples, friends and family. Moving forward there are big changes coming for us in 2015 and we're excited that you will be part of it!

Below are just a few images from 2014 that I picked that reminded how great the year was for us.

Enjoy and have a Happy New Year.

Aly + Ale | Barboursville Vineyard wedding

We delighted in Aly (Alyson) and Ale's (Alejandro) perfect wedding weekend at Barboursville Vineyards. It began with wine, laughs and tender moments on the rehearsal day. Kristiaan and I quickly realized there was a special buzz in the air between family and friends. A buzz that reminded us of our wedding. Visually, we are drawn towards physical connections, happiness and genuine affection, and Aly and Ale's wedding had all of the above and more. There was an incredible bond that extended past immediate family. We saw family and friends come together and open their hearts not just to each other, but to us as well. Below are just a few of the many great moments from their weekend.
