Maureen and Dave

A few weeks ago we got to shoot for a few hours with Maureen and Dave at their Avon wedding-- It was a very touching ceremony that clearly demonstrated how much they loved one another. After we had some time to let loose on the Avon boardwalk with great results!!

Danielle & James E-Session

Sometimes E-Sessions are so much fun that you forget that you're working... we felt like that when we shot Danielle and James. Their Red Bank E-Session was full of laughter, smiling, and a positively stunning couple! We hit old locations and a few new ones-- just check out how cool the Red Bank Library and the Hovnanian building photographed!

You really need to check out their Facebook Album to see the full shoot-- just stunning!

Baby Willa-- part 2

Baby Willa is special to us because we photographed her when she was just 3 months old and now she has just celebrated her first birthday! It was so exciting for us to see her grow up and we hope to continue seeing her so we can photograph this beautiful little girl :)

Catherine & Derek--E-Session

Catherine and Derek came to us through a previous bride and groom-- Larry and Andi-- and we couldn't be more thrilled to continue a relationship with the family! They braved a chilly day with some sharp winds for their Red Bank e-session but it was well worth it because the pictures look awesome! Red Bank is one of our favorite locations because it is versatile and we always find cool new spots (just check out our cool new "nook")! Here is a little taste of their E-Session:

Marielle and Jason

We had a stunning wedding last weekend at the PNC Art Center with Marielle and Jason. Marielle had been devoted to the details of her day and it paid off-- she looked amazing, her venue was perfect and her photographs came out immaculately beautiful. We found two awesome walls for our house session-- a faux-stone that really took the light well and a royal purple wall that offered a POP of color. Marielle worked the camera like a seasoned model.

Marielle and Jason met one another for the first time on the steps of Monmouth University's ever-gorgeous Wilson Hall. He was struck absolutely speechless by her and it was clear from the way they couldn't drag their eyes off of one another that these pictures would glow with love-- and they do!

When we got to PNC there was fantastic up-lighting that transformed the room-- up-lighting should be a consideration for every bride who wants to take a room from functional to fabulous.

We hope that Marielle and Jason had a "Beautiful" day!

Jennifer and Jeff

Most brides BEG us to give them perfect weather-- they plead with us for sunshine. Brides ask us to make sure that we keep it at least 70 degrees and we desperately wish we could give it to them but it really is out of our hands. It breaks our hearts not to be able to magic in the good weather for our girls... but Jennifer was a little different. Jennifer planned a winter wedding and one day asked us if we thought she was going to luck out and get snow! With a mid-January wedding we felt pretty confident telling her that snow looked promising ;)

Jennifer was always a winter-loving girl and we couldn't have been more happy for her that she got her dream wedding-- snow included! She accented her day with gorgeous purple bridesmaids' dresses and matching purple pumps for our glowing bride. Even with snow on the ground the bride (and bridal party!) made it outside for pictures.

Lindsey & Kevin

This New Year's Eve Heyn Photography had the pleasure of ringing in 2011 with a truly wonderful bride and groom-- Lindsey and Kevin. We'd met them before-- not just on their engagement shoot but on a few weddings within their circle of friends (best of all-- we get to see them at a few upcoming weddings as well)! They are sweet, down-to-earth people who had a wedding reflective of that love: a pure celebration, tons of fun, and absolutely no stress. Lindsey was a truly calm bride and a joy to work with (the camera really loves her!) and Kevin was a groom who was happy to help his bride achieve the photos she wanted.

Lindsey even climbed on a piano for us and braved the snowy outdoors at Fairleigh Dickinson University for her pictures and we couldn't be happier with the result!

Besides FDU we were located at The Madison Hotel and we just have one word for you: conservatory. Although you probably haven't used "conservatory" in a conversation since the last time you played Clue it was an absolutely BREATHTAKING location for a wedding ceremony and reception! Outside you could see the ambient light from a gorgeous winter sky, inside the lighting was dimmed to a romantic glow, and it felt like being in a winter wonderland.

Congrats to Lindsey and Kevin and thank you for a memorable New Year!
