Kristen & Theo’s wedding at The Imperia in Somerset, NJ

Sometimes it is simpler for me to not even try and describe just how much fun a wedding was, but to just show the photographs .. and let the images show the energy and personality of the bride and groom, and everyone else involved.

Here is the bridal party ..

Yes, Kristen actually made a flying leap into Theo’s arms!

… and the reception.

Kristen and Theo, I really had a great time at your wedding.  Thank you!

On Tuesday, a group of about 50 photographers, (along with 5 models), converged on the Meat-Packing District in New York for another photo-shoot-out that Rob Nicholson arranged.  I helped rotating groups of photographers, showing some lighting essentials with flash. 

An exotic model in a bridal dress;  some great light and some Photoshop fairy dust … and here are two images I really like.

Angela and Mike, thanks! It was nice to just roam around with the two of you for your photo session.  See you soon again at your wedding!

I met up with Colette and Chris in the early evening at the Hoboken waterfront.  With beautiful light and real chemistry between the two of them, the photos just had to look great.  Colette & Chris, it was great to work with the two of you, and I look forward to your wedding.

Ashley and Fred is another couple who I hadn’t met in person until their engagement photo session - which is why the engagement sessions are ideal to get to know the couple before the wedding day.  Ashley and Fred, with all your personality and energy, I know it will be fun to photograph your wedding.  I look forward to it.
