My Kid Cheats at Pin The Scar On The Harry
This young lady turned 9 not too long ago.
After so long, you watch these kids come into their own and it’s just incredible. This one has been through a lot, and she still has so much to go through.
For engagement sessions, I recommend my couple’s choose a place that means something to them. I want the place to help jog memories they enjoy and that will allow us to build up those feelings as we photograph together.
Karina and Zach chose Sandy Hook because it was the location of their first date. It was a great choice.
It was my first time going there. I was truly in awe at how serene it was at the time.
FYI if you want to get into the beach area we were in, you need to pay $20. They take cash, card, and contactless payment!
I love documenting weddings through photography and videography because of the feelings throughout the day that I get to experience as an outside figure that’s closeup to all the events of the day.
It’s all about the emotion. I’m the kind of person that feeds off of emotion surrounding me. If I’m around bridesmaids getting excited after seeing their bride in her dress for the first time or if I’m photographing a father and mother dance during the reception, I’m really in a good space mentally and that allows me to get the shots that matter to my clients and that they’ll love to see in their album.
A wedding is like a dinner recipe. It’s a few spoonfuls of joy, excitement, nervousness, and sentiment.
But with large events, especially a wedding where it’s a once in a lifetime moment, there’s the occasion where the boiling point will hit a high and things may overflow. In that case I, as a photographer and friend to my clients and their families, have to be present and put on my thinking cap to solve issues within my power to resolve. I’m not just a photographer on a wedding day. I am a servant to my couples and I love doing my best to make sure they enjoy their wedding as much as possible.
That aspect of problem solving, including working with the landscape around me as my “photo studio” for the day and working with families that aren’t my own really adds challenge that I thrive on. I also get to close my Apple Watch rings just with all the running around I do during an 8 hour wedding day.
Going into a wedding day, everything you do as a wedding photographer or videographer is in service to your client.
The keyword is service. You must excel as providing optimal service to your clients.
With that mindset, you will give 100% of yourself and then some to making sure your clients have a fantastic day. You are your clients steward from the moment they accept you into their lives till the moment you deliver their gallery.

My second photographer’s role isn’t just to aid me in obtaining your imagery, but to fill in your story with as much lush content as possible. They add the pages of your wedding story that I alone may miss for the sake of another moment. They add an adjoining narrative coinciding with my own that blends into a magical gallery that will make you feel.
Read MoreAudio is one of the most important aspects of your wedding film.
You can watch a low resolution clip of your father giving a speech and be okay with it as long as the audio is clear. That’s why I, at least, have two to four forms of audio at any given moment when I know audio is going to shine.
Here’s how I capture amazing audio for your wedding film.

As your considering your options, consider the overall aesthetic you’re going for with your wedding. Think about the materials of the shoe that will tie with your dress.
Speaking of the dress, make sure that is the first thing you have before buying a pair of shoes to match. It’ll help pave the way towards the type of shoe you get.
Start your online search for the perfect shoes in places like Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, and Nordstrom. Their online selection is massive compared to their in store options.
Before you put in your credit card information, make sure you can actually go in store to try on selections before committing. You don’t want to purchase a pair of shoes that look absolutely divine, only to realize the size you need in that particular shoe is a bit on the small side.
You don’t have to go with the classic, elegenat white shoes for your wedding day. A pop of color really add some flair to your outfit. Feeling bold? Add metalics or a little glitter to the mix.
Will your ceremony be on a flat, hard surface, or will it be on a lawn or another large green grass situation? Get the right shoe so you’re not tripping or stuck in the ground as you’re attempting to walk down the aisle.
This is a big tip! Get comfortable shoes! Nothing is worse than standing for 5-6 hours in uncomfortable shoes, especially on your wedding day. A low-to-mid-height hel and even a chunkier heel will make your day so much better. Also consider any shoe that can be adjusted with something like buckles or laces.
Don’t leave this decision to the last minute. After searching and trying on so many shoes, don’t decide to wait for them to go on sale for them to disappear before your wedding date. After testing and trials, once you find your shoe, snatch them up!
One of the prompts I like to give the couples I work with got me one of my favorite shots in this set. That walking shot from left the right is what I call “The Walk To Paradise.”
First I’ll find a nice backdrop within the area which I can capture with a 24mm or 50mm lens if I can back up.
I’ll then have a groom/bride lead their partner to a specific spot. Before they do, I’ll tell the person leading to look at a specific spot and turn that spot into the place they want to be at the most right now. Have it be their favorite spot and call it Paradise.
I then prompt them to walk their partner into paradise.
It always gets me the shot I want.
