What goes better with Super8 than a fun-time couple whose immediate family owns a craft brewery? No need to actually answer that one but Mike and Robin are that couple and Crooked Eye was fueling the fun. Like I always says, “those who love craft beer love craft filmzzzz” -Dutch, 7/13/16 Good times had by […]

And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth. -Raymond Carver Julie and Jesse are kind, intelligent and creative. It was really a joy to photograph their wedding and meet their family and […]

So you’re the other Julie Melton. Worlds collide. I’m at my doppelgänger’s wedding to photograph her and Jesse. We not only share the same name, but we’re both blonde and fair-skinned and the same age. We could probably pass as sisters. Weirder still, when we discovered each other we only lived 20 miles apart! Imagine […]

A sneak peek for Julie and Jesse. That’s Julie Melton & Jesse Chan-Norris. Why is this important? Because my name is Julie Melton. Wait, what? I’ll tell you the story tomorrow. Look how happy they are!

A heavy sky loomed over the Mallard Island Yacht Club when we arrived to begin documenting Jenn and Marc’s day. I would have never guessed the weather was stormy when you entered the room with Jenn and her sisters and friends. And really, that’s how it should be. You are marrying the person you want […]

Besides an elopement we photographed with just the bride and groom, Rachel and Bill’s was the smallest, most intimate wedding we’ve ever photographed. It was delightful. Close family and a handful of friends, 16 in total. Just enough to fill the upstairs table at Vetri. Yes, Vetri. They did it right. Perhaps the best dinner […]

A cheese cake, ladies and gentlemen. No, not cheesecake. We are literally talking about a tower of cheese. And since Eric is a chef and built the cake himself, you can imagine he used some deliciously stinky cheese, too. It was divine. Love this wedding, these two people, this whole group of friends and family. […]

We can’t get enough of this garden wedding. Terrain is so charming and as for Larissa and Eric, well, they’re just about as cute as you can find. They’re also our neighbors, our friends, and dog park buddies…we actually met through Doc and Leo, woof woof.

Larissa pulled up wearing her mother’s wedding dress, a leather moto jacket, a big grin, and happy sad tears. Her mamma would have been so proud. Heart of gold, this girl. We have so many beautiful pictures of her and Eric’s Terrain wedding to share, but on Mother’s Day, I just had to post this […]

Jenn and Marc’s wedding was just as heartfelt and lovely as we knew it would be. The ceremony was my favorite part, located in the boathouse just a short path from Mallard Island Yacht Club. Huge stone fireplace adorned with bright spring flowers, large windows, and open air sides… all elements for beautiful pictures, particularly […]

Back at Congress Hall for another winter Super 8mm wedding. And yet again, another gorgeous and unseasonably warm day to film. This time I’m filming Justine and Daniel, a fun-time, travel-bound couple living in Brooklyn and getting married in Justine’s hometown, Cape May. I have many things in common with these two…the first being a […]

I shot this wedding 39.5 weeks pregnant and couldn’t have asked for a sweeter family to be documenting at such a time. Dutch was shooting Super8 film on this one (see in previous post) and we had our trusty sidekick Hieu and our Associate photographer Matt shooting alongside (doubled up just in case I went […]

I’d be willing to bet that when Kaitlyn and Brad met one of the two was dancing. More specifically, spinning while dancing. They’re both so good at it. Just watch the film and see how anyone who hangs out with either one of them ends up spinning. Kids can’t stop spinning. Even Kaitlyn’s dress spins […]

We were both excited and nervous for Katie and Charlie’s wedding. Not for the obvious reasons that usually go along with shooting a wedding – not missing a moment, keeping everyone on schedule, traffic, etc. But mainly because Julie was due to deliver our first baby anytime around that weekend. So you could say there […]

In case you missed it, our bride Christine asked her 89-year old grandmother, Nana Betty, to be her bridesmaid. Soon after we posted the pictures of her fun-loving grandma looking […]
