Rachel & Joe – their wedding day on the Jersey shore

A wedding down on the Jersey shore on a Tuesday! Count me in. On their wedding day, the weather on this early Spring day turned out to be wonderful – surprisingly warm after a colder weekend. Just perfect for their portrait session on the beach. We did the photo session before the ceremony, but also snuck out later on when the light was just perfect with the sun going down. Great light, a great setting, and a good-looking couple – a photographer’s dream. Rachel and Joe, it was an absolute pleasure working with the two of you as your wedding photographer!

Lindsay & Chris – their wedding – Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore hotel, MD

It was hugely flattering when Chris approached me way back to photograph his and Lindsay’s wedding. Chris follows my Tangents blog, and my writing and photography there had convinced him that he would love to have me as their wedding photographer. Even though I am based in New Jersey, I happily do weddings further afield … in this case, Baltimore.

Lindsay and Chris’ wedding took place at the Lord Baltimore hotel, which is a historic building. Now, the word “historic” to me means an interesting place with all kinds of nooks and crannies and places for great photographs with the couple. We even went out onto the street outside the hotel, stopping by the Subway station a while with the colorful lights as background. The image at the top was inspired by the wisps of steam floating up at a street corner. Perfect opportunity for romantic portraits with a mood.

To top it all, Lindsay and Chris were an endearing couple who happily worked with me to get these great images! It’s one of those weddings where the images really show how much fun it was to photograph it. Lindsay and Chris, thank you! It was a pleasure and an honor to have met you and photographed your wedding. Best wishes for the future.

Alli & Scott – their wedding day – Temple Israel of Lawrence, NY

With Alli and Scott’s engagement photo session, I already knew I was in for a treat – a photogenic couple with tons of personality, I knew they’d be a joy to photograph on their wedding day. The entire day took place at the impressive Temple Israel in Lawrence (Long Island). Since it is winter, we had to mostly work indoors, and the location lent itself to dramatic portraits of the bride and groom. The best way I can sum up the day is that it is this kind of wedding and couple that makes it extra rewarding to be a wedding photographer.

Scott and Alli, thank you and congratulations!

Andrea & Rui – their wedding day – The Newark Club

It is always wonderful to work with a couple who are so in love with each other, and easy-going with any ideas for the romantic portraits. Even going out on the cold evening and patiently working with me for a few killer photos outside, didn’t faze them. The photo at the top was taken outside their reception venue – The Newark Club. The photo session earlier on was at Verona Park – great as a romantic setting.

Andrea and Rui, congratulations. It was a lovely experience meeting you and working with you as your wedding photographer.

Alissa & Nick – their wedding day – Westmount Country Club, NJ

A downpour of rain in the afternoon, right after the ceremony, didn’t seem to affect anyone’s spirits – Allisa and Nick’s wedding day remained vibrant and colorful. So this is one of those times where I should let the images tell the story. (Yup, as their wedding photographer, I am particularly proud of this set of photographs.)  The evening ended with a spectacular reception at the Westmount Country Club.

Kelly & Lee – their wedding day, New Jersey shore

How a couple’s engagement photo sessions goes is always a good indication of how the wedding day will be. With Kelly and Lee’s photo session on the beach, I already knew their wedding day would be energetic and a huge amount of fun … and here’s the proof. Kelly and Lee brought the same amount of energy to the wedding day photo session. Everyone in their bridal party had tons of personality as well.

Kelly and Lee, it was just wonderful working with you as your wedding photographer.

Jen & Chris – their wedding day – The Venetian, NJ

This was one of those weddings that I was really looking forward to this year. I mean, really looking forward to it. With the engagement photo session last year, we had a heavy rain downpour, but Jen & Chris really brought the sparkle to the rainy day. So much that I used photos from the engagement session to illustrate a chapter in my book on off-camera flash photography. Lots of energy and tons of personality just made it one of the most memorable photo sessions I’ve photographed in New York.

Which leads us right to their wedding day, an exuberant affair …

The wedding reception was held at The Venetian, in Garfield, NJ

Jennifer and Chris … thank you! It was just an incredible day, and it was a privilege to be your wedding photographer.
