Allie’s Bat Mitzvah

Allie’s Bat Mitzvah was SO much fun to be apart of! Allie was surrounded by such a warm and genuine group of people, it was a real pleasure to witness. My favorite part of today though was when Allie’s dad totally surprised Allie by bringing in their two dogs to help her light the last candle on her cake! As with all my Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, it was a lively fun crowd and it was contagious! The reception was held at one of my favorite venues, The Stone House at Stirling Ridge, NJ. Congratulations Allie!

mmmm…..KETCHUP!

I love this moment between Allie and her Grandfather.


This is what happens when you tell a bunch of kids that the ice cream sundae bar is open! I’m just kidding, they were playing Coke and Pepsi.

2008 | Best of {Weddings}

I just can’t get over what an incredible year 2008 was! I had 41 awesome couples who let me share their big days with them. A GINORMOUS THANK YOU to each and every one of you! It was my absolute pleasure to capture your day of days, and I feel truly honored you chose me to do so! I put together a slide show using some of my favorite wedding images taken in 2008. It’s a little long though, so grab a nice cup of coffee, sit back in your chair, relax, and enjoy the show. Thanks again to all of my great couples, and a huge congratulations to you! Without further ado, I present to you all, The 2008 Best of Weddings slide show.

2008 | Best of {Details}

I decided to throw a quick slide show together using only detail shots I had taken in 2008. It’s mostly rings, a few dresses, a splash of shoes, and a peppering of flowers. Enjoy!

2008 | Best of {Engagement Sessions}

2008 was certainly a banner year for laffler photography! It was jam packed with unbelievable clients who entrusted me to record their special memories for them. It’s not something I take lightly, and am so grateful for the opportunity! A big thank you to all of you! I have compiled a slide show, sort of the greatest hits of 2008, of all the engagement sessions I did in 2008. Stay tuned for the 2008 best of Weddings coming soon! Enjoy.

Mystic 4

I just got back from attending Mystic 4 in Connecticut. Mystic 4 is a wedding photographer’s get together (about 250 of us) with some awesome speakers giving us a glimpse into their work and offering little gems of wisdom. Many thanks to Walter Van Dusen for putting this together and running such a great event like this. I’m really looking forward to Mystic 5 with Jerry Ghionis!


Here’s a shot of my good friend, and fellow photographer, Bob LoRusso, finding the light in Mystic during the snow storm!

AJ’s Bar Mitzvah

Today’s forecast: SNOW! Well, it did snow, but that did not stop all the fired up party goers from coming out to help AJ celebrate his Bar Mitzvah! The reception was held at Space Odyssey USA in Englewood NJ. The attention to every detail was amazing! The space was awesome for both kids and adults, and everyone had a blast! AJ’s dad even sang a little tribute to AJ as well, very funny! Congratulations AJ!


I loved how the snow coming down kind of looked like the solar system behind the Space Odyssey sign.

And here’s AJ!

Check out this mini bowling alley!

Here’s AJ while his dad sings to him.

Two words: Bad Boy!


Everyone watching the slide show montage of AJ.


I love this shot taken earlier in the day at the Temple of AJ with his Grandfather.
