Kind Words from Kelly & Aaron

I truly cannot imagine my wedding without Lizzie and her team! Lizzie is an absolute dream to work with. Leading up to the day, she was so organized and curated a very detailed timeline for us. On the wedding day, her kindness, patience, and professionalism allowed us to be carefree and calm, knowing she'd perfectly capture our day. Lizzie was SO quick to find all the best spots around our venue and effortlessly worked around the wind and lighting. I cannot recommend Lizzie and her team enough!!!

Elegant Fall Wedding Portraits

Before their church ceremony, we took advantage of the breathtaking grounds for the couple’s portraits. After their sweet first look, we captured their bride & groom portraits and photos with their bridal party. The combination of the autumnal colors and the couple’s effortless chemistry made every frame a masterpiece. One standout image featured the bride’s veil blowing in the breeze as the groom held her close. These are the kind of timeless shots that truly tell a love story.

Ceremony at The Presbyterian Church in Westfield

Photographing a wedding at the Presbyterian Church in Westfield offers a unique blend of history, charm, and elegance. The church’s stunning architecture, with its tall white steeple, intricate stained-glass windows, and warm wood interiors, creates a perfect backdrop for timeless wedding portraits. The natural light streaming through the windows highlights the sanctuary’s serene ambiance, making it ideal for capturing heartfelt moments during the ceremony. The church’s classic and spiritual atmosphere ensures that every image reflects the profound beauty and emotion of the day.

Golden Hour Portraits

Capturing post-ceremony bride and groom portraits during sunset is a magical experience that combines the couple's love story with the breathtaking beauty of nature. The soft, golden light of the setting sun creates a romantic and ethereal atmosphere, casting warm hues that enhance the couple's features and the details of their attire. This time of day, often called the "golden hour," offers a perfect opportunity to create timeless, intimate portraits filled with natural glow and rich tones. Positioning the couple against the horizon, embracing silhouettes, or framing them within the dreamy interplay of light and shadow can add depth and emotion to the shots. These moments are not only visually stunning but also provide the couple with a serene, private time to savor their connection amidst the whirlwind of their wedding day.

Lively Country Club Reception

The reception was held in the country club’s grand ballroom, where candlelight and floral arrangements created an inviting and romantic ambiance. The night was filled with heartfelt toasts, a lively dance floor, and even a surprise performance by the bride’s sister. One of the most memorable moments came during the couple’s favorite song, guests encircled the dance floor and rocked out with them.

Photographing this elegant October wedding at a private New Jersey country club was a reminder of why I love what I do. Every wedding is unique, but this one stood out for its seamless blend of sophistication, intimacy, and the natural beauty of the season. From the tender pre-ceremony moments to the lively celebration on the dance floor, it was a day filled with joy and emotion—and I feel privileged to have been a part of it. Congratulations Kelly & Aaron!
