Hi! I am a photographer who was born and raised down on the Jersey Shore, and I want to be able to help my couples capture their most precious memories. I've always loved keeping a camera on hand and photographing anything and everything, to the point where I had collections of memory cards from family events to just walking around my hometown. I want everyone to enjoy themselves and be able to look back on the photos and feel that same amount of joy that they felt on their day the same way i look back on my own photos. There's so many little things that happen, and I am here to help the memories fly!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Maureen! We reached out to her only a couple weeks before our wedding reception and she thankfully had availability! She jumped right into working with us and her communication was quick and effective! We had secretly eloped prior to out reception and Maureen was in on our surprise! On the day of our reception, Maureen executed our vision. She was patient with our crazy families and efficiently grabbed all of the group shots we requested. Our albums were delivered quickly and we were SO PLEASED with all of the photos! It is clear that Maureen has a passion for what she does and we highly recommend her for capturing your special moments.

I love hanging out with my kids, beach combing for really neat shells, cuddling with my dog who just so happens to be named Princess Fiona after the movie Shrek, and being an amazing wife to my husband while bringing joy to peoples lives through professional photography. I am super down to earth, pretty dang fun, and super creative. When I get clients who trust me 120%, their galleries are beyond EPIC. At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who fell in love with photography! I also enjoy museums, and find inspiration in architecture, high end fashion magazines and underground art.

To say I love my photographer would be an understatement. Our special day was thrown together in 6 weeks, but you couldn’t tell by looking at our pictures. Lauren took the time to speak with me about the moments that were most important to me, and why. After explaining to her that my father had cancer and his diagnosis was a big part of our rush, she made it her mission to capture every smile every tear every dance and every look my husband and I shared, and my father shared with everyone in attendance, especially me. She set up the first look between my husband son and I, she understood my vision and my need to be different, her artistic eye and attention to detail turned a broken down roadside stand into the perfect fall/Halloween backdrop for our first look. When it came time for my father to see me, before our guest, she set him up, back turned and captured every smile, and every tear he and shared in that moment. She created memories for myself, my husband and our family, and froze them in time with pictures that I will always treasure, and I couldn’t be happier and anymore grateful for how much love and dedication she poured into making sure our special day and every moment of it was captured

5-Star Full-Service Catering from casual to elegant for all occasions since 1988. We offer packages for all occasions such as wedding receptions, rehearsal dinner, welcome parties, after-wedding brunch, clambakes, showers, anniversaries, and so much more. Our team will assist you from start to finish, planning your menu, coordinating rentals, linen colors, floorplans, timelines, vendor referrals, and so much more. We bring our catering services to all corners of New Jersey and will also assist you in trying to find the perfect venue to suit your event's needs.

When we tasted the food we knew that our guests would be happy with our selection of shore catering (and we were right! We recieved many compliments on the dinner and hors d'oeuvres). What we DIDN'T realize is that we were receiving more than just a catering service- we were receiving what felt like a warm welcome into a family business that took some of the stress out of the wedding planning process! Shore was the only caterer we encountered that was willing to work within our budget, and individually tailor a package to meet our needs, allowing us to feel comfortable financially without feeling like we were sacrificing ANY of the quality and elegance that we wanted for our wedding! Moreover, on the day of our wedding, summer took care of us as though we were her oldest friends, meeting us with so much genuine warmth and a contagious smile. She made sure we were able to actually eat and drink (which so many of our friends told us would be difficult to do at our wedding!) and kept the vibe HIGH even in spite of pouring rain and floods on the day of the event! We wish we could get married again and again and we would hire Shore Catering every single time!! I HIGHLY recommend Shore Catering to any bride and groom who want all of the quality with none of the stress!

Welcome to Hello Sunshine Treats! We all started in July 2019 as a home base business in Matawan NJ. We are now located at Airport Plaza in Hazlet NJ. Our motto is to provide fresh desserts for any occasion.

My husband and I were looking for someone to make a 3 tiered, 3 flavor cake for our fall wedding and Hello Sunshine Treats delivered! We had apple cinnamon, dulche de leche and espresso. Everyone raved about the not-so-common flavors! Not only that but Nikki (the owner) made a whole dessert table as well! We still have people tell us how delicious our desserts were. Thank you again!!!
