A recent wedding

November 16, 2023  •  Leave a Comment
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...

Many couples often say to us as we begin their session, "OK, tell us what to do." Most times we understand their trepidations about their session. Nervous, not know...

A favorite photo to capture

October 29, 2023  •  Leave a Comment

Once the bride and her father pass me, I turn and try to get the groom's expression and emotions between the bride and her father walking toward the groom. Most times I can get it as you see here. Occasionally I'll get the image with the groom to the side, which is still a great phot...

Working with poor lighting situations.

October 23, 2023  •  Leave a Comment
Our bride wanted to do the first look in front of the ceiling to floor windows, however, she was concerned about how that would look considering the light and view. We told her we could handle it and not to worry. We did not shoot in front of the window, however, along the window, using the curtain more as a backdrop and a defuser to soften the li...

Little things, or changes that can make all the difference in an image. A subtle change that you may not think makes a difference but does. Sometimes a huge difference. Our point, Do you want som...
