FAQ #1: “Do we own the rights to the Photos?”
“Do we own the rights to the Photos?” That is possibly the most asked question that I get from Brides and Grooms during our conversations or email exchanges. Possibly because it’s not answered on my website…until now! So here we go…. The short answer is Yes, you will have the right to print, copy, email, make an album, post the photos on your social media as you wish. Every couple gets a USB Drive with...
Wedding at Tim McCloone’s Asbury Park
I returned to Tim McCloone’s Supper Club in Asbury Park to photograph a wedding after being there last year, this time for Jovan and JT’s wedding. We had perfect weather for October…the beache actually had many sunbathers! In October! The bride and groom though had planned their wedding ceremony to be inside at Tim McCloone’s and not on the beach…after all who would know that a mid October Wedding would...
Mother and Son Dance
This photograph is from Jovan and JT’s wedding at Asbury Park’s Tim McCloone’s Supper Club, right on the boardwalk by the convention center. Actually I should write photographs … as in plural since I just had to attach these two photos together for full affect. The photos are from the Mother and Son dance. I think no further explanation is...
The Ring Bearer
This touching photograph was taken at a recent wedding at Tim McCloone’s Supper Club in Asbury Park. As the ring bearer walked up the direction of the groom he started crying…but he kept walking and eventually made it up there. The bride when you think of it didn’t see this moment since she was still outside of the room, but thankfully I caught this moment that will live in the family for generations to come! About...
il Tulipano Wedding
I recently photographed Heather and Alex’s wedding at il Tulipano in Totowa New Jersey. Everything was held at the venue from the first look to ceremony and reception. The ceremony was outdoors in their lovely garden area. The wedding had a big baseball theme more specifically a NY Mets theme, with the Met Blue and Orange everywhere! Turns out the Groom is a Yankee fan but the Bride is a big Met fan and she won this game! Check...
NY Fashion Week
While I specialize in wedding photography, I also photograph a wide range of subjects that go beyond weddings. I really put no limit to what I can photograph, it just has to interest me. For example when I can I enjoy photographing Concerts, its been a long time passion. I also enjoying walking around and finding things to photograph. For me its a great release of creative energy. You can see a variety of things I photograph on my...
Making the best of rain at a wedding
The weather looked really bad for last Sunday’s wedding. The Bride was somewhat upset that she wouldn’t be getting any sun on her wedding day. I mentioned to her that clouds are great for wedding photos, even better than sun and that made her feel better. But as the day got closer the forecast went from cloudy to rainy. Even worse was the fact that it looked like rain all day and that is exactly what happened. A steady...
Behind The Camera at Weddings
In 2017 I added a classic Hasselblad camera, which produces amazing quality photographs, to my camera bag and took it out for occasional photos at weddings. I decided to actually film what I see through the viewfinder as I am shooting which gives the viewer of this video a behind the scenes look at the ‘making of’ these photographs. Check it out and relive a few moments behind the camera with me in 2017! About the...
Wedding at The Chandelier
I photographed Juliet and Juan’s wedding at The Chandelier in Flanders NJ on a day that threatened heavy rain. When I left my house the weather was sunny but by the time I drove west on rt 80 dark clouds hovered. When I got to The Chandelier it was pouring. We started with the First Look since the couple didn’t want getting ready shots. Luckily after arriving at the venue, by the time we were all ready for the first look...
