Cara and Mike's engagement shoot took place in Red Bank, NJ. This is really a great little town for a shoot because there are so many textures and colors to work with. You can see the photos from there shoot here ---> Cara and Mike in Redbank
For their Wedding, Cara and Mike chose the Historic Smithville in NJ. The feel was carefree and fun. The colors and atmosphere exuded a true summer vibe with rustic accents. Sunflowers, and pastel pinks colored the day. Cara looked stunning in her lace dress with hair and makeup done by Natalie Dresher . Mike looked dapper from head to toe in his flawless blue tux topped off with a burlap boutineer.
Cara and Mike were a dream to work with from the start. They possess real genuine ability to let go in font of a camera and let their love speak through their eyes and body language. Mike and Cara are one of the nicest and sweetest couples I have worked with. I feel honored to have been able to capture their love and to co-create a visual story through my lens :)
