Another visit to my favorite Long Branch location- the walls , this time with Jill and Dan.  On Septemeber 3rd they will be married ” in the beautiful garden and back yard on the Navesink River designed by Jill’s father, mason and tile artist, Frank Settembrino. www.franksettembrinomasonandtile.com, where you will find some pictures of the garden and yard where the wedding will be.

Like Frank and Missy’s yard this releationship is in bloom. This couple knows where they are going. They are young BUT they are wise.

They have been going out for almost six years and slowly simmered this love affair. They are lovely, gentle and sweet. The kind of people who will do wonderful things together and touch many lives. Their success is clear and their love the foundation of everything they will build.

Thank you Jill and Dan for giving me the honor of telling your story. It is the highlight of this photographic season.

I want to wish them the best life has to give and  I am  thankful to be able to tell the story of their wedding day.

Some technical notes: I photographed this session with my canon 5d mark2 with my medium lens 24-70 mm and an off camera light using the Canon the 580EX through a soft box.

Weather wise it was just how I like it – cloudy.
