Hi All.
Lauren and I recently had a Mini-wedding for lack of a better word. John and Jaime were planning the big wedding and as we know, things this year have been a little wacky. Making the tough decision, and several phone calls, John and Jaime decided to move their wedding to their home and scale down the guest list.
We still did g...

Hi all.
Most of our weddings for this year have either postponed or have done a mini-wedding. This was our first full day wedding since this virus mess started. Our couple chose to do a backyard wedding with plenty of space for social distance. Laura and Dan made the day fun and a pleasure.
Here are a few photos for you. Enjoy.

Hi all.
It's good to get back in the swing of things. Photographing weddings, that is. With the Coronavirus shutting everything down, we've been waiting patiently for things open up and let us get back to what we do.
Many of our couples have postponed or are having "mini" weddings this year and the reception on a larger scale next year.
This was...

Hi, We've been busy over the past few weeks. Here is our latest post.
How it was done. We haven't posted one of these in a while. This was created with the available room light and the videographers on camera light as a fill light. The ambient light around the room makes for a dramatic look. The "spotlight" on our couple's first dance brings the...

With the shutdown, we are unable to meet in person, so, we've been having a zoom meeting with an image presentation. We pic...

We haven't posted one of these in a while. Our latest how it was done.
Most times when we are working it our couple's church, we have to be considerate of the church and be appreciative of them letting us the church for family, bride and groom photos. This particular church was very accommodating.
We usually don't have a lot of time after the cer...

Hi all.
I've been a little lax the last few weeks with our blog post. I've gotten tied up with household projects lately. Getting some odd jobs done around the house. Every year I start projects and finish it months later if not the following year. Once the wedding season starts it's difficult to finish those projects. (annoys my wife, lol)
We...

Ok, I was contacted recently by a neighbor who asked if I was doing the Front Proch Project. Initially hadn't planned on getting involved for various reasons. After speaking with my neighbor, we decided to do this.
I reached out to our local hospital to make arrangements for donations to go to the hospital fundraising group. In the next few days,...

How it was done- Engagement Photo

Hi,
Our latest how it was done. This is a photo from a recent engagement session at Monmouth University, near the Library.
What we like about the setting is the "rim" light around our couple. You can see a light around them especially around their heads. This gives us some separation from the background. There is also the framing. Our couple is s...

I don't get to go out often enough to create photos for the fun of photography. Not that I don't love photographing a wedding and working with our couples for their weddings, just that I like photographing other stuff also.
I was given the opportunity to go out with a good friend recently. We went, well, I really don't know exactly where we went....

Ok, here we go. As you can see this is how the photo was set up. This is an "available light" photo. Meaning we are only using ambient (the light around our bride and the light through the window)
The exposure is balanced between the outside light and the room light. You can see a little bit of light bounced back into her face, off of the white in...

A quick post today. I thought everyone knew this.
BTW photo of Ruby our Mascot.
I had a phone conversation with one of our brides about her upcoming wedding. She needed to make her next payment and asked if I preferred a check or credit card. I asked which is better for her? It didn't really matter. That some people gain points or miles on card p...
