I’ve been told that I gush over my clients here … but it is difficult not to when a couple is just so wonderful to work with and makes their wedding day (and the photography) just a pleasure. Merisa and Sam’s wedding took place in January, during one of the slightly warmer spells. Which meant that we were able to do some of the romantic portraits outdoors. Even the bridal party was willing to venture out in the rain.
With a bit more of a fashion styling, this next image was taken at the reception venue – the Richfield Regency in Verona, NJ.
There are more images from the day on the photography page on Facebook.
Going back to earlier on the day – here is one of the handsome ringbearers ..

Sam and the guys photographed by Monika Broz who helped me on the day.

The ringbearers who had to stop for an encouraging hug along the way …
… but this little guy just entirely threw away the ring pillow when he saw his dad!

Apparently Sam was not allowed to watch Merisa approach down the aisle …

Merisa and Sam … best wishes and a thank you.
I truly had a great time as the photographer at your wedding.

Hey, I know that bridge… fairly certain I have shot on that bridge, in that park, on a fairly cloudy, rainy, cold day. I do enjoy seeing your take on locations I recognize. I’m still waiting for the day when we run into each other at a venue.
Stunning work Neil, I love the natural lighting and all the relaxed posing, not all this over done poses we see these days.
God bless
Paul
Hi Neil,
First of all, beautiful work. I have a question…the most difficult shots, I find, are the ones like the 15th you posted (groom behind bride on the dance floor). Every time I try this shot, it is on pure faith that the exposure and flash will come together to get a result like the one you took. Furthermore, I don’t even know how to practice trying to get this shot. The result – sometimes a winner but often a shot that is way off balance in terms of exposure between the foreground and background (many stops…much lightroom correction).
My question…how have you trained yourself to consistently take solid on-camera flash reception shots?
Sincerely,
Gabi
