smiles & polka dot bow ties | courtney+scott

just when we thought that we couldn’t top the fun that we had during courtney+scott’s engagement shoot at story book land, we were proven wrong by their awesome carriage house wedding. these two really know how to have fun and laugh with each other at every moment they are together. it is truly an inspiration to be in their company. lauren and i were thrilled to see all the funky details that these two rocked out on their wedding day. seriously, old school vans and polka dot bow ties… that is the way to roll. congratulations, we wish you two the very best and are very thankful you have chosen us to be your photographers. may your smiles together last forever. (: enjoy.

historic mansion turns mexican fiesta | kristen+andres

do you guys remember kristen+andres (our couple from texas) that came to new jersey to have us photograph an engagement session with them a little while back? here is a little refresher to keep everyone in the loop – kristen+andres engagement – their wedding day at the glen foerd mansion on the delaware could not have been any more amazing. the day started out as a very intimate & romantic celebration with close friends and family. but as the night progressed they kicked it into high gear and made it a full blown mexican fiesta. it was so nice to see the two cultures merge so seamlessly together. lauren + i are so thankful to be part of your wedding day and we wish you the best back home together in texas. if we ever decide to drive across country we’ll have to stop over for another night of dancing, “texican style”.

wedding venue: glen foerd mansion – philadelphia makeup artist: cheekadee – mariachi band: mariachi puebla – reception dj: synergetic sounds & lighting – wedding photographers: dinofa (hey that’s us). enjoy.

private island bliss | megan+chris

do you remember megan+chris’s awesome beach engagement session we had in ventnor new jersey a few months ago? it was one of our all time favorites. needless to say lauren and i were excited to see these two again on their wedding day at the amazing bonnet island estate near long beach island, nj. it’s a charming little private island that has a personality all it’s own and the guests loved every bit of it. we highly recommend this venue if you are planning your own wedding, plus we would love the opportunity to photograph more beach style weddings at bonnet island. (:

megan+chris are two of the most thoughtful, kind and genuine couples that lauren and i have had the pleasure of spending time with together. we feel so honored to have been chosen and trusted to photograph the memories on their wedding day. we wish the newlyweds all the best in their future together and we are very grateful to them for allowing us to take part in one of the happiest days of their lives. oh yeah, as you’ll see in the photos below, megan totally rocked with the details of her beach style wedding. i wish every wedding we photographed had this much eye candy to capture. enjoy

Pinky - beautiful shots! love that shoe and all the details! awesome!

feuza - oh I had seen some pixs of this place before Bonnet Island,but not as cools as these, it is like my yearly salary to rent the place then again its an island lolllllllll
love the one of her back as she was about to go in, love the lighting, that cake pictures yummy,

Autumn Pittelli - Amazing as always! LOVE the kiddie pics

megcaffrey - Tim + Lauren how can we possibly put into words the gift you have given us? You captured every single moment of this day for us…the trembling hands, the happy tears, the moment we caught glimpse of each other for the first time, the sweetness that is Bonnet Island, all the little touches and surprises, the dancing, and the smiles of all the people we love the most. And yet still, after all of that…after the music faded, the dress is put away, for every day to come, from here until forever, we will have these memories that you have so magnificently captured for us. And further STILL, beyond being our photographers, you were treasured friends at our wedding. We have the fondest regards for you both. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. There is just no greater gift.
Meg + Chris

Tammy - I love EACH & EVERY one of them!! AWESOME shots! Perfect subjects!!! xo

Nikki T - ahhhhhhhh, such masters of light! That cake shot just glows! DeLIGHTfully Dinofa!!!!!!

Ro - love that venue ~ and as always your photography captures everything beautifully

beach cruisin’ | steph+brian

“big thanks” to our good friends heather & ken who referred us to photograph the engagement and wedding for their sister (stephanie) and soon to be brother-in-law (brian). it’s such a treat for us to be around two people who are so in love and happy. we had a super fun afternoon with them around the bay avenue beach and pier of somers point, nj. this area is very familiar to me, i grew up on this very beach almost my entire life. it was so nice to be back photographing around my old stomping grounds. the photo session couldn’t have gone any smoother, these love birds were up for anything and enjoying every second together. congratulations steph+brian, we can’t wait to capture some more awesomeness on your wedding day. enjoy.
