I LOVE shooting destination weddings. Like, love love LOVE it! So whenever a bride + groom ask me to travel to document their wedding day, I’m so humbled and honored because it’s such an amazing experience for me. So when Dana + Paul found me through an internet search for light + bright wedding photographers and asked me to travel to Stone Harbor, New Jersey for their wedding day, I jumped at the chance. And it was truly meant to be because during our initial phone chat, I found out that both Dana + Paul graduated from Gettysburg College – my alma mater too! So fun!! It made the entire experience even more special for me!
The forecast leading up to their wedding day wasn’t looking great, but Mother Nature answered our prayers and delivered an INCREDIBLE day for them. The overcast skies kept the heat at bay and provided soft, gorgeous lighting for portraits. We started the day on the beach, where everyone was getting ready. Before we knew it, we were off to the golf club, where Dana + Paul shared a sweet First Look. They were up for anything and even trekked into some tall grass for some of my very favorite portraits of the day. THANK YOU for trusting me, you guys!! It was totally worth it!!
They were joined by their bridal party and family for group photos before their sweet ceremony on the patio, which was officiated by Dana’s cousin. Then, the party got into full swing and the dance floor was PACKED all night. At the very end of the night, Dana + Paul exited through a tunnel of sparklers… the perfect ending to the perfect day!! Here are some of my favorites from Dana + Paul’s beautiful Stone Harbor Golf Club wedding…

I love it when my couples opt to do an engagement session with me before their wedding day. While it’s by no means necessary, I always really love getting to know my couples before the wedding day – and I also love being able to take some epic photos of them during this special time […]
From the very first time I spoke with Caroline, I knew that her wedding day was going to be so special. With just their immediate families in attendance, Caroline + Kevin’s day was centered around family – and they wanted to begin their life together surrounded by the people who love them the most in […]
Lauren + Matt are the embodiment of pure, unfiltered JOY. The way these two look at each other. The way they smile from ear to ear when they are next to each other. Absolute, contagious, electric joy. I truly feel so lucky to have been in the presence of their love. It’s a love that […]
In May, I headed to Atlanta for Lynsey + Tyler’s romantic wedding at Summerour Studio. I knew their wedding weekend was going to be special and it absolutely was! Their celebration started with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at the Peachtree Club, overlooking the city. It was so great to meet all of their VIP’s the […]
I first met Tori back in 2016 when I photographed her older sister Kiersten’s wedding.

Legacy clients are so special and the Stolen family means so much to me. They […]

Elizabeth wanted […]
