Sheena and Brian family shoot

What a great time shooting this family… I really have to stop saying, “shooting” people are starting to think I’m really shooting people! Anyway, back on track. What a great time we had with Sheena, Brian and their kids. We walked around Allaire State Park on an absolutely gorgeous day. We really had a great time. I mean, how can you not with such a photogenic family. Thank you guys for such a great time! Can’t wait to do this again. Here are some samples from the shoot.

Soccer and pumpkins

This weekend was so fun. We had a photoshoot at the Strand Theater for the Garden State Philharmonic concert on Saturday. Many happy returns: Garden State Philharmonic! Then, on Sunday, we went to Ricky’s soccer game. It’s a shame they lost though.. After the soccer game we went to pick some pumpkins. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend if you ask me. Here are some shots from the weekend.

Jennifer and Bob

“I love rocks!” That’s what Jennifer said as we wandered around Grounds for Sculpture for her and Bob’s engagement shoot. And we found some! Actually, we found a ton of things to shoot around while there that made for some great photos of these two love-birds. The day couldn’t have been more perfect as the temperature was around 70 degrees and the sun was just right. Here are some teaser photos. More to come!

The Weise Family

There’s nothing better than photographing family! As I have a bit of writer’s block today, I think I’m just going to keep it short n’ sweet and just say, “Meet the Weises”

Stacey and Frankie Wedding’s

What a fun night. We had the pleasure of working with Veronica Lola as our 3rd for the night. She provided some simply amazing shots! Thanks Veronica!

Here’s a sample from Stacey and Frankie’s wedding. They are just the perfect pair! We’ve had a busy weekend with Stacey and Frankie’s wedding on Saturday, and Dan and Gloria with the kids on Sunday in Spring Lake.

Here are some sample photos from Stacey and Frankie’s wedding. Enjoy!

Here’s Stacey sitting pretty!

The rings.

Stacey getting into the wedding dress was no small task…

I seriously adored Frankie… he was a man truly in love with his fiancé.  Here he is looking dapper!

The sun was just right for this shot.

These shoes were shot by the ever awesome Veronica Lola who helped us out tremendously throughout the day! Thanks Again Veronica.

The Dress

Everyone was very emotional.

The Weather is Cooling, and a cool Wedding tomorrow!

I love this time a year. The brisk fall air flipping (or messing up) everyone’s hair! Hopefully it doesn’t mess up our bride’s hair tomorrow as we have a shoot to do. What’s cool about this shoot is that we’re working with a 3rd photographer, the ever awesome Veronica Lola. This should turn out to be a awesome time. Hooollla!

On the business side of things, we signed up with The Leather Craftsmen custom bookbinding for our albums and they are just incredible! Please show them some love and check out their site.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s wedding!
