I love an educated bride and groom.

What I mean is educated photographically. That they have some knowledge of photography. These couples often book us because they can see the difference from our work to other photographers.
The look and feel of our images is what catches their eye. Often, we're told that they like our work, however, really cannot put a finger on exactly why our im...

Something that happens when we photograph a wedding.

Lauren and I have been a team for a long time. We work well together and usually know where the other is so we're not in each other photos. Occasionally, we catch the other in the background, inadvertently.
This was one of those times. I was on one side of the door and Lauren on the other. She peeked around to see if I was done or about the change...

All about the details. Those little touches.

I've written about this in the past. If we pay attention to the minor or little detail in your photos while we are creating your photos a few things happen. We have to do no "fixing" like many of today's photographer feel they will just fix it later. The other thing is you have much nicer photos with faster delivery. We can deliver quickly because...

We do not offer hourly packages. Never have, never will. We feel it's not fair to you to squeeze your day into what we feel like working. That's not want a wedding day is to us.
We consider our time with you as "Full Day" coverage. Meaning, if we time out your day and we feel 11 hours is what is needed, then we have an 11-hour day with you. Most t...

November 11, 2024

Less than a week. Typically, if your wedding was Saturday, we'll have your photos ready by that Wednesday or Thursday.
How? A few reasons.
First, our photos are "clean" coming straight out of the cameras, meaning the exposure and lighting are right on the money and very little needs to be done to them. Second, we do not "overshoot". We have years...

Big scenes or an Epic Scene. That's what we call an image that encompasses a view with our couple place somewhere in the view of an image.
This photo was from a recent wedding Lauren photographed at a park in New Brunswick.
Not a park we would consider a great photo op park, but we can work with it knowing how to use light and camera angles.
