We love wallpaper. One of the perks of mulling through thousands of photos for a living is that you occasionally stumble across one and think, "Yes. This was made for my iPad/iPhone/Desktop." If we find one on one of our shoots, we'll share it here. This gorgeous lens flare goodness comes from Diana and Mike's Engagement [...]

Another great wedding at the Madison Hotel! Darren and I shoot there often, and we're always happy to hear that the ceremony will be in the gorgeous Conservatory. Tons of glass, light everywhere... it makes picture-taking become a lot simpler technically, allowing us to really zero in on some emotions of the bride and groom, [...]

It’s a pretty huge blog post, but I couldn’t resist sharing so many of my favorite images from this great day. Diana and Mike are one of our favorite couples. You might remember them from a classy shoot in New York City. For their wedding, we went to the beautiful St. Francis Cathedral in Metuchen, [...]

There's a new section of the blog we want to open up: it's a place for photographers and lay people alike to reference some of the useful bits of information we have slowly picked up through the time of our endeavor. Education is a beautiful thing, we wish there was a lot more of it [...]

The setting sun was the biggest star at this quiet outdoor wedding last fall. I love shooting into the sun, making the subject light up in an angelic glow, fabricating orbs of lens flare all over the composition. This wedding was on the edge of a little lake, with the sun beaming through the leaves... [...]

When Chris and Hannah first contacted me about their wedding and told me about their plans I was very excited. Hannah was a bridesmaid in one of my very first weddings, and the wedding ceremony was being held in an outdoor chapel in the middle of the woods at Schooley's Mountain Park in New Jersey [...]

If you saw the Photo Booth pictures from Troy and Glynnis wedding, then you already have a taste of the crazy frenetic energy at this place. What I found shocking was not only these people's uncanny ability to dance, but the raw emotion that connected every moment of this day. In Glynnis and Troy, there [...]

Madison, New Jersey is kind of a famous place, as far as New Jersey goes. Episodes of "The Sopranos" were filmed right here. And scenes from "A Beautiful Mind", "Guess Who", and "The Family Stone." All of that was stuff I learned from Tom and Ashley as we walked down the historic-feeling streets and through [...]

There's nothing like New York City. In a single square half mile you can be walking past giant murals of street art and graffiti, knee high grass and monolith skylines, and the fierce sun setting on the Hudson River. Amazing. Diana and Mike brought their dramatic class to the New York piers on this fantastic [...]

Darren and I love photography for the details. A good picture takes something small that should have been missed, and turns it into something symbolic, powerful, and emblematic. At Patrick and Cam's wedding, detail was literally, everywhere. Detail that was beautiful, shocking, and fresh. It was a perfect match. Ocean breezes and the balconies of [...]

Okay. We knew that Troy and Glynnis were hilariously fun and crazy, but nothing could prepare us for what awaited our Photo Booth at the Madison Hotel Conservatory. Apparently, everyone at this wedding was equally... well let's just say it's clear now why they're friends with Troy and Glynnis. I was manning the Photo Booth [...]

We had a great time photographing Troy and Glynnis at Sandy Hook State Park in New Jersey. Sandy Hook has all kinds of interesting buildings and beautiful scenery, given that it is the home of an abandoned military base called Fort Hancock as well as some beautiful beaches. There are all kinds of abandoned military [...]

A little while back a friend of mine asked me to take some photos of her baby boy. I usually just stick to couples so I had never taken photos of a toddler before, but I thought it would be a great learning experience and agreed. It was a LOT of fun as well as [...]

Patrick and Cam recently got married at The Chelsea Hotel in Atlantic City. They really know how to throw a good party, and their guests completely ROCKED IT in the PhotoBooth! It was non-stop action from the moment we opened the booth until the party was over. Wes from Film Jones.

This is definitely one of the raddest couples that we've met. Cam is a stationary designer and owner of the fabulous Cam Turner Design. Cam and I actually met while I was a repair technician, or "Genius" at Apple. I replaced something or other on her iMac when it was in for repair and managed [...]

I recently went to the 2009 New Jersey Festival of Ballooning. I originally didn't plan to blog any of these photos, but I was so happy with the them, especially the colors, patterns and textures that I was able to capture, I just have to share! It was not unlike a normal carnival with stands, [...]

We had the privilege of photographing Richard and Rebecca's wedding just a few weeks ago on the 4th of July. It was an exceptionally beautiful day! The whole house was decorated with balloons, banners and American flags. Pink EVERYWHERE! The cocktail hour and reception were held at Bretton Woods and everything was ridiculously green and [...]
