The day finally arrived! Alec & Ally (who I've photographed so often that they have their own tag), finally tied the knot on an incredible July day down in Delaware. It was so wonderful to see their love for each other play out as the day unfolded...from their first look on the very Titanic-esque stairs of the DuPont hotel, to their ceremony at The Grand Opera House, to the elegant reception, Alec couldn't keep his eyes off of Ally and Ally couldn't keep the smile off of her face.

This was by far one of the most meaningful weddings I've shot, mostly because I've known them both for so long and feel so honored to have been invited on this journey. Click the cut below to see more.

Sometimes it's crazy how full-circle life can be. Alec & Ally are high school sweethearts and met at Sacred Heart, which is also where I met them (Alec almost 12 years ago, now!). Alec and I floated in the same social circles and he was actually one of the first people to let me take his photo. As I was scrolling through their engagement photos, it gave me this eerie realization that I've been pursuing this passion for almost 12 years running, and it's still something I push myself to be better at.

I spent the afternoon with Alec & Ally down in Greenwich, NJ, enjoying their company & the beautiful grounds her grandmother lives on. They're so much fun to be around, and they put up with my shenanigans! Click the cut below to see more!

One of my oldest & dearest friends from high school emailed me months back to photograph a super secret operation. I've known Alec since 2002, and I've known Ally since 2005. They started dating in high school & it's been so fun to watch them grow as a couple and experience all of the pangs of growing up, side-by-side. So when Alec emailed me to ask if I would photograph his proposal to Ally, I couldn't help but jump at the opportunity. 

I'll say this much--for anyone that's popping the question, I don't envy your situation at all. I was all nerves, so I can only imagine how Alec felt! The energy throughout the afternoon was so high and exciting, and Alec pulled off his proposal flawlessly. Ally comes from a large family, so he coordinated with them so that they would be part of their special moment. It was so wonderful to see generations of cousins and siblings gathered together to help celebrate such a wonderful moment.
