Annapolis Maryland Naval Academy Wedding: Susie & Jordan

This Thanksgiving one thing I reflected on was how thankful I am for my job. To do something that brings me joy AND brings joy to others. I just don’t know how you can beat that. The weekend before Thanksgiving I traveled to Maryland to photograph Susie and Jordan’s wedding. I loved it for so many reasons. Susie’s cousin Kim, whom I went to college with, referred Susie to me and I am so thankful! It was such a beautiful day with such beautiful people.

Susie started off the day getting ready at The Maryland Inn in Annapolis. LOVED her dress! Also loved that there were plenty of champagne corks to do pretty ring shots on ;)

Susie and Jordan decided to do a first look so that they had plenty of time to do photos outside before the ceremony. This makes me so very happy :)

The day before the wedding I went location scouting and didn’t stop until I found the last remaining trees with beautiful fall foliage!

The groom and groomsmen are all Marines, I am so grateful to you all for your service! Also love the girl’s plum dresses, I might be biased since it was my wedding color too ;)

While we were taking photos, an adorable older couple came out of their house and gave Susie & Jordan a bottle of Processco to celebrate with. How sweet is that?!

Prallsville Mill Stockton New Jersey Wedding: Penny & Michael

You guys, I’m so excited to share this beautiful wedding. It holds a special little place in my heart. A few weeks ago I traveled to Stockton New Jersey to photograph Penny and Michael’s wedding at the Prallsville Mill. The very same mill where Fred and I were married last August :) I love the mill’s space – it’s character, it’s charm. The mill is such a unique venue, I think there is definitely something to be said about the couples that choose to be married there. Penny and Michael are no exception. They are so warm and welcoming. Meegan and I met them for the first time the day before the wedding and it was like hanging out with our super relaxed friends. While taking photographs of them every other second of course ;)

We started out the day at the Inn at Lambertville Station, shooting Penny’s beautiful Allure dress on a custom hanger with her new last name!

Penny is a graphic designer so naturally she designed their letter pressed wedding invitations, love them!

And check out her killer heals!

It’s great to be a bride with such creative and talented friends, one did hair and one did make-up. Both did a phenomenal job!

I love all the Thai traditions (and clothes!) that were incorporated in the wedding. How cute are the ring bearer and flower girl?!

I think the groomsmen were in just as much awe of Penny as Michael was ;)

After the American ceremony there was a Thai water ceremony in which friends and family poured water over Penny and Michael’s hand and wished them well.

It was so good go back at the mill and to document Penny and Michael’s love and commitment to each other. Thank you two for allowing me the honor!

Penny’s Bridals: New Jersey Wedding Photographer

This weekend in New Jersey reminded me of why I love my job. I love it so much, it doesn’t feel like a job. It feels like fun. And that’s why I love it ;) On Friday I picked up my dear friend Meegan from Newark Airport, we drove to Jersey City and met Penny and Michael at their apartment, which had an amazing view of the skyline. Then they bought us REAL honest-to-goodness pizza for lunch. I was in heaven. If you have been transplanted from the east coast to the middle of nowhere, then you know what I’m talking about ;)

We hung out in the apartment while Penny got dressed and then we headed over to Liberty State Park. Penny had already scouted it out in advance of us getting there and it was an amazing place for photos! We could see the Statue of Liberty and the NYC skyline, but we spent most of our time in this old train station. Loved it!

I know this photo is blown out, it was a test shot and the lighting situation wasn’t working. But I love it anyway :) Penny you are gorgeous!

Skyline photo: Favorite!!!

Penny changed into her traditional Thai wedding dress and we got a few photos at a park near her house. Isn’t she lovely?

Next up, Penny & Michael’s wedding at the Prallsville Mill!
