Becky + Sam

Time for a road trip!!! My trusty sidekick Adrienne and I journey'd out west to central PA for Becky and Sam's big day. We were fortunate enough to have some brilliant sunshine the entire day and a perfect temperature to work with. I knew this was going to be a great wedding from the start because we met up last year for an engagement shoot in Harrisburg and had a blast. Becky got ready at her parents house, then we headed to St. Joan of Arc Church where it was all made official, and finished the day off at West Shore Country Club for a wild party. Check out a few of my favorites from the day!

The Past Few Weeks...

...have been hectic to say the least!! Lots of weddings and shoots to show you guys from the past couple weeks and tons more coming up. Back in NJ, ready for the summer season!!! Time to give the blog some attention again :)

Below are a few of my favorite shots from the last couple weeks down under before the big move back across the earth. Over 24 hours it took this time around with an additional flight thrown in there, yikes! So without further adieu, here's a few new frames to keep you distracted from your work for a couple extra minues...

checking the morning misty bumps down at avalon real early

got to hop over the rocks to get to one of the southern breaks... can get a bit hairy!

April + David - Long Reef Sydney Wedding

Mad has known April and her family since forever, even took some awesome photos of April's little girl recently, so it was only natural to shoot her wedding with David a couple weeks ago. They got married ontop of Long Reef headland on a beautifully sunny day, such an incredible spot. Then we all went back for a couple photos and reception at Dee Why Surf Club. Some delicious home cooked food was on offer as well, so good! Here's a few of my favorite shots throughout the day. And a link to what Mads lenses saw here.

Bondi Light Bath

A couple weeks back, I was down at Bondi beach having a swim with Mads when this incredible light came out of nowhere. It took us by surprise, and pained us more than anything because it was probably the one and only time neither of us had a camera ... not even an iPhone in sight! Silly mistake. I never thought sunset on the east coast would backlight a beach so beautifully, but Bondi's layout is just perfect for not only sunrise but also sunset. No wonder it's so popular. So I waited for a clear afternoon a couple weeks ago and was able to sneak in a few frames while there was a little swell on before the sun hid behind the clouds. 

really like this shot

a bit of salt haze on the horizon

and just as the sun went behind the clouds, lighting up the sloppy drop in
