Engagement sessions are a great way for us to get to know you and you to know us. We often go to a location picked by our couples, because it's special to them. Some couples ask for a suggestion for a location. It's really up to you. We can go nearly anywhere you wish.

When we're setting up a photo, Lauren will often fix the bride's dress or set the pose. I'll set up the lighting and help with the posing. Many times, while we're going through our process, I catch Lauren in all sorts of photos setting or fixing something. Here are a few of our latest. Sorry, Lauren... A little info on the photo. The...

Unplugged wedddings, Our thoughts.

January 04, 2024  •  Leave a Comment
This is a follow up on the previous post about unplugged weddings. A number of years back we noticed this trend of cellphones and Ipads at weddings. It never really bothered us. We made adjustments and included them in our photo set. By adjustments, one thing was to NOT be at the top of the aisle where most photographers would stand and hav...

Attention to detail, the little things.

December 28, 2023  •  Leave a Comment
Hi I often hear at bridal shows or during a client meeting that a couple likes our work over other photographers, which is excellent. They usually will say that they are not sure exactly what it is, just that they do. I believe I know what it is that they like. It's the attention to detail that we take in our approach to your wedding day photos.

Before and After

December 11, 2023  •  Leave a Comment
I recently helped a friend with a wedding. We were running into a situation where we would miss the sunset. We grabbed a few photos and headed off to the reception. It's amazing what a little editing can do. The original is still a nice image, however, editing can bring out the colors. Cropping can give the image a better look or angle. What do y...

A recent wedding

We have worked at the Holy Cross Church in Rumson in the past, however, not as our photo location. The plan was to arrive on the church grounds prior to the ceremony to create our family photo, bridal party photos, and couple photos. We planned our time so we could finish early enough to hide our couple before their guest arrived. Our timing work...

You bring the costume (and your child), we do the magic. We photograph your child on a white background. The magic is done in the editing. Because we photograph on a white background, your child...
