We went to Sayen Gardens in Hamilton close to their home and a favorite place of theirs..

Our couple wanted to create a photo similar to the painting "American Gothic".

We visited the Park Loft in Oceanport this past weekend. Our first time at this amazing new'ish venue. The Park Loft opened a few years ago. The best way I can describe the look and feel, at least to me, is modern rustic. There's an on-site chapel and gardens for photos. An area for outdoor cocktail hour and more. The reception room or magnificent...

Which one?

I think it's obvious. Which photo was created by flash and which using sun light? I artificially create a "rim" light with a flash, however occasionally (not all that often really) we can do the same thing with sun light. For the left photo we happen to be in the near perfect location to use the sun light.
We were at a hotel along the Camden water...

What I mean: using the surroundings in a scene is create a frame. Using tree branches around the subjects of the image to create natural frame.
I often use the phrase "I see things" when creating your photos. Meaning I have a scene in mind or a look.

A great many photographers only deliver your photos by way of a download. No disks, no thumb drives.
Anyway, you now have your photo files downloaded to your hard drive. Well, hard drives fail, and computers crash. You don't want to lose your photos to a computer issue. We suggest picking up a few thumb drives, they're not expensive. Place your ph...

A while back one of our brides made a request. She did not want us in the church proper during the ceremony. Saying she had attended a number of recent weddings where the photographers were very obtrusive during the ceremony. She didn't want that at her wedding.
