The first warm spring day and a beautiful sunshiny day .. and a gorgeous couple. Sometimes it is *this* easy getting great portraits …

Thank you again, Nicole & Peter … I hope you had as much fun during the shoot as I did.

Since Megan and Tony’s wedding day schedule wouldn’t have allowed for extended time for portraits, we decided on something unusual  - to wait until the end of the reception when everyone had left, and then take our time to do the portrait session with the two of them. It worked out very well since it allowed us pressure-free time for their photographs.

There is something I like to do during the family formal portraits if the opportunity allows - with most of the family group ready to be photographed but waiting for a few stragglers to join the group, it is a good time to grab a few candid portraits.  Especially of the kids in the family group …

Megan & Tony, thank you for having me there on your special day.

With Sara and Kevin’s wedding coming up shortly, and the weather just not improving - we decided to do their portrait session at the venue where their wedding reception is going to be held. They braved the miserably wet day and we even did some of the photography outside on the deck and the front.

Sara & Kevin, it was nice to finally meet the two of you, and I look forward to your wedding day.

Stef & Matt and I met in a park for their engagement photo session, and we were able to tough out the cold for a while.  Eventually though  we were so cold that we decided to take refuge at the venue where their wedding reception will be held in a few weeks - Valley Regency, (NJ).  Then we were able to get a series of romantic portraits in comfort and try out various ideas …

Steff and Matt, see you again in a few weeks .. and we’re going to have fun!

Marisa and Justin were married in the beautiful grounds of the Marriott Evergreen Conference Resort, in Stone Mountain, GA - and the lush surroundings made a gorgeous backdrop for the portrait session.

Marisa and Justin’s playful sense of humour came shining through.

From earlier in the day - a few portraits of Marisa …

The two super-cute flowergirls.  To everyone’s amusement, they were so caught up in the Big Moment that they completely forgot to scatter their flower petals down the aisle.

One of the most energetic garter grabs I’ve ever seen …

Marisa & Justin .. congrats and best wishes for your future together.
