katie & todd

katie is a volunteer for the non-profit animal rescue, karma cat + zen dog rescue society, that my sister and i founded in 2010.  katie and todd also adopted two of our karma kitties! and todd is no stranger to the wedding scene.  he is a manager at a new jersey wedding venue... so with a seasoned volunteer and animal lover and another wedding pro, i knew i'd be in for a great time with these two!

we started off in asbury park at the beautiful berkeley hotel and then headed over to windows on the water- sea bright for a beach ceremony and fun party....

i always love the look kids aren't afraid to give me...

i headed over to see what todd was up to...

awesome stacy adams shoes....

love this...

awesome shoes, awesome socks and a funky rug to top it off!

loved katie's headpiece...

the texture of the bridesmaid dresses was to die for...

shoe time....

a little gq pose.... a little laughter....

stunning...

i always love genuine laughter in my photos...

a little stroll on the asbury park boardwalk...

you gotta love the shoes!

 cutie pie...

the hand-off...

love the texture of these dresses....

katie and todd donated to karma cat + zen dog rescue society as their wedding favor. this inspired an idea for me. i decided to give them a free set of printed proofs and custom box and any future couples that donate $300 or more to karma cat as a wedding favor will also receive a free set of printed proofs and custom box as a thank you from me for helping the animals...

  

as much as i love laughter in my photos... i do love me some tears of joy!

hah! love this one!

hah!

todd takes a turn up in the air....

katie was a little bit hesitant when her turn came....

but i think she liked it...

love this moment between todd and his little sister...

hah... this is todd and a guest sitting a the bride and groom table really enjoying some cake together!

such a pleasure working with katie and todd from start to finish! thanks again for their generosity to the animals and for being so fabulous to work with! thanks to my husband brian for assisting me.
