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.

All about light

Photography is all about light and how we see and use it. Many times we'll be working at a location and "see" an idea or a scene.
This particular location was on the Jersey shore. As I was checking out the house, I noticed the door frame leading out to the small deck. The sun was lighting up the deck and the Adirondack chair. Clouds in the sky. I...

This is something I was thinking about recently. Not sure why this popped into my head, it just did.
A few years back, I met with a potential bride and her mom. We had a nice conversation. To the point I thought they would book, however, they wish to check with her fiancé, and since dad was writing the check, with dad also.
About 5 days later, I...

From time to time, we'll attend a model event put on by Model Me Photography. These events are a way for models to work in front of a camera, gain experience and possibly get published. I have been published a number of times through Model Me Photography. Here are a few favorite photos from an event at Keansburg Amusement Park.

One of the funniest things I have heard a bride say on her wedding day.

One of the funniest things I have heard a bride say on her wedding day.
As we were photographing the marriage license and Ketubah signing, at the conclusion, the Cantor announces, "Congratulations, you are officially married."
The bride blurts out "OH, SH!! OOPS."
OMG. We all laughed out loud. The couple will have a funny story to tell their kid...

I haven't done a Model Me Photography event in a while. Been a little busy. Here is the most recent one. We were at White Hill Mansion in Burlington, NJ. A 1700's building that has been used as a home over the years, and most recently from the 1930's to 1990's as a restaurant. It is going through renovation at this time. Anyway. here are a few hpto...

At one of our weddings this past weekend, our couple chose to do an anniversary dance. That's when all married couples are invited to the dance floor and the DJ will ask those married less than so many years to step to the side of the dance floor until we have the longest married couple left.
Before he started the dance I asked him to leave our ne...

Be prepared. You never know what could and probably will happen on any wedding day. Emotions.
I love the groom's reaction to something the bride said. I have no idea what she said, however, it must have been classic.

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...

With the advancement in lighting technology, many venues include uplighting or your DJ can provide uplighting if your venue does not include it.
There is a fine line between being able to see the uplighting in your photos and overpowering your photo with a flash that you cannot see the uplighting or the uplighting "spills onto the dance floor cove...

When Lauren and I present our work at bridal shows, we hear from many couples that they see a difference in our work compared to many other photographers.
I believe the reason for this is simple. We pay attention to the small details when creating your photographs. Where hands are in your photos, how people are connected or engaged with each other...

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...
