gorgeous views + golden hour
One of the most joyful and unexpected treats of becoming a wedding photographer has been the relationships I’ve forged – not only with my couples, but with their bridesmaids! There’s always such a fun, contagious energy in the bridal suite the morning of the big day, and I absolutely adore connecting with the bride’s favorite few. It’s truly so heartwarming to see these bonds at work, and I’m always moved when the sweet clan “adopts” me to for the day. I’ve kept in touch with many bridesmaids over the years, and Chelsea was one of the first.
I instantly loved Chelsea as soon as I met her at her friend Courtney’s wedding. A photo of her sharing an endearing laugh with her soonly-wed pal was an instant favorite of mine and has been front-and-center on my website for years. So I was absolutely thrilled to hear when Chelsea became engaged to love of her life, Sean. These two are such a perfect pair, and we had a great time catching the last of the summer breezes at Barnegat Light.
