Gospel Celebration For All Ages



I love shooting all types of events because there always seems to be some "special" moment I'm able to capture. I recently photographed a concert with award winning gospel artist, Maurette Brown Clark. That special moment for me was when she invited a young fan onstage to sing a duet of one of her songs. It was a tender moment enjoyed by everyone and I'm sure the little lady will cherish the moment forever!

60 Years of Wedded Bliss


They say true love never fades. After shooting my latest wedding, I admit I truly believe!

This lovely couple has been married 60 years. To celebrate this momentous occasion, their daughters decided to put together a SURPRISE vow renewal. They worked tirelessly and organized the event with meticulous details... lit walkways, soft candles, beautiful flowers and hints of peacock blues and greens. They successfully surprised their parents separately by escorting them into different parts of the venue and disclosing the plans for the day. Capturing the Father's moment of surprise was classic! Their Mother was in equally stunned disbelief.

Both recovered quickly from the shocking surprise and were changed into their respective wedding attire. I personally loved that the Mother was given multiple choices of dress, shoes and jewelry. That was a beautiful touch!

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and touching and the reception was equally as special. If was very easy to see how much in love this couple was after 60 years. They held hands all day and never stopped smiling!

From the bottom of my fulfilled heart, congratulations on your 60th Wedding Anniversary and thank you for allowing me to share such a special day with you!

American Heart Association 2011

I was once again asked to provide photos for the American Heart Association on October 15, 2011 at Cooper River Park in S. NJ. It was a cool, windy day but the walkers showed up full of energy and ready for the day. I took candid shots all around and group shots of all the teams. It was nice to see so many people turn out to support such a worthy cause. Here are a few images from the day...
