I fell in love with Kate the moment we spoke on the phone. 

As she described her vision for their at home wedding in New Jersey, it felt like the perfect fit. Kate laid out clear priorities for their day: color, forest vibes, friends & family, and lots of dancing.

To capture the feeling of the day Kate knew she wanted some motion blur and film photography in the mix, which is a total match for my style. The movement of her stunning Monique Lluillier gown was so fun to photograph. My favorite vintage film cameras lent their nostalgic style to the day and the party all night. 

The level of creative freedom Kate and Tim gave me was unmatched, and their wedding was a highlight of my season. I can’t thank them enough for letting me do what felt right to capture their day. I had so much fun!

Do you love the look and feel of film photography at backyard weddings as much as Kate? Check out Helen & Russ garden wedding!
