August 29, 2022  •  Leave a Comment
From time to time, I like to pull several photos from various weddings and play around with them in Photoshop. Add textures, change the look. Play around just having a little fun with different techniques. Here are a few of my most recent attempts. Enjoy.

Red Bank Catholic High School Play

March 29, 2022  •  Leave a Comment
Well, this was a lot of fun for so many reasons. We had the opportunity to photograph RBC's high school play. One of our past brides (from many years ago), contacted us about photographing the play. They haven't had their play photographed in several years and she thought since her daughter was the lead we could photograph the play this year. Hopef...

Articles from the Knot on the average cost of wedding

March 10, 2022  •  Leave a Comment
The Knot average cost of a wedding in the US. The Knot does this annually. A survey for the average cost of a wedding in the US. Note your state. The national average may be higher or lower than your state. Don't assume 19,000 for the cost of your wedding if your wedding is in, let's say, New Jersey.

Playing in Photoshop

March 07, 2022  •  Leave a Comment
Ok, So... Photoshop is full of functionality that no one person will ever master EVERYTHING, I believe. I use Photoshop for what I use it for. Occasionally I have some time I'll try to learn something new. The past week I've been playing with double exposures. One photo on top of, or blended into another. Here are a few I've been working on. I hope...

February 24, 2022  •  Leave a Comment
How it was done. Let's see... Three photos were done as separate images combined into one. Each photo is photographed with a single light. We set up a loop light pattern. The light was to the camera left and a little behind our subjects. The difficult part was getting the dog to stay still. Once the photos were created the editing begins. Com...

We're back from Imaging USA 2022

February 07, 2022  •  Leave a Comment
Imaging USA is PPA's (the Professional Photographer Association) annual convention. This year it was held at the Gaylord Convention Center in National Harbor in Maryland. We haven't gone in a few years mainly due to covid and the location. I'm not a fan of flying, I'd rather drive. So, IF I'd have to fly, occasionally I'll skip that location. I ha...

Found a neat photo spot.

January 31, 2022  •  1 Comment
Lauren and I are always looking for interesting and different locations for photos. This wedding was at a restaurant in downtown Audubon NJ. We took a walk into the shopping district b way of an ally. I loved the red wall and the shadows as we walked by. I had to stop. Couldn't resist. I hope you like them as much as we did creating them.

December wedding with a special visitor

December 30, 2021  •  Leave a Comment
We have a near-perfect day with Lindsey and RJ. We had discussed the potential rain on their big day earlier in the week. I assured them to not worry about the weather. It won't rain, don't worry. Oh, boy, did I get lucky. No rain. Overcast, but no rain. We had plenty of time for photos. AND a special visitor. We were glad he found the time in his...
