Ashley + Jonathan: sandy hook anniversary

10 years and counting

Ashley & Jonathan are longtime close friends of mine. From spending nights out to going away for birthday weekends with all our friends. These two show what it is to be fully in love and selfless.

I had the pleasure of photographing their special wedding day in October 2020 at The Graycliff in Moonachie, New Jersey. It was my first wedding and I was shitting bricks lemme tell yaaaa! All went well in the end and it was a big lesson to be learned about proper lighting in a venue with no windows, one flash and an extremely outdated camera :’)

Fast forward 2 years later and they are now celebrating 10 years together!

Ashley and I coordinated with an overall idea and put a moodboard together. We decided for a beach location and went down to Sandy Hook, New Jersey. It was a cold November afternoon but Ashley and Jonathan champed the cold with their bare feet on that cold sand! During the shoot Ashley said “this is exactly what I had visioned in my head, good job Jordy!” and hearing that confirmed that I’m on the right path, doing what I love.

Its more than just the photos, its the experience we get to create together and immortalize these ethereal moments for aeons to come.

Enjoy the full photoset down below and I’ll catch you on the next photoshoot ;)
