My backyard in Northern NJ is a great space for outdoor portraits! Fall in particular is a photographic wonderland! I set up one light, use the sun as a back light and the photos are amazing! People love being outside on a beautiful day so I get great, happy expressions too!

When Jason contacted me for head shots I was excited –I had never done musician head shots before! We had a perfect day and lots of laughs and in ~30 minutes a great array of photos for Jason top choose from. Hoping Jason sends from friends my way!

Love a family session in a beautiful spot like Rutgers Gardens! Combine a family session with an engagement session and it’s magical!

Life is wonderful, eh?

Allison & Steve were referred by some mutual friends. A referral from friends is golden –organic marketing. Friends don’t steer you wrong so couples referred by a friend almost always hire you!

We met in my local Starbuck’s and had a spirited discussion w lots of laughs. Steve is always laughing and his laugh is infectious. Before we knew it an hour had gone by –we finally got to inking the contract. 

Allison and Steve’s wedding in 2019 will be at the Art Factory in Paterson, NJ. The Art Factory is a reclaimed textile mill. I have shot some fine art work there in the past. A really cool location –I love their vision.  

For their Save the Date / eSession we chose to shoot in Ringwood at the NJ Botanical Gardens and on the grounds of Ringwood Manor. IMHO there is no better place in northern NJ for Fall portraiture! Be advised if you are a photographer you need a permit for paid work…and for that permit you need to provide proof of insurance.

Looking forward to seeing Allison and Steve in 2019 for their wedding!

I met Deb and Geoff over coffee in a DD in Wyckoff. Deb was getting married for the 2nd time, Geoff for the 1st and they were clearly devoted to each other.

I don’t shoot many one photographer weddings but they were on a tight budget and I REALLY liked them and wanted to be there for the wedding. So I crafted a package to fit their needs. We were all so happy to sign the contract. 

A few weeks later, it was time for the wedding at The Tides Estate in North Haledon. Loved the venue and it is on 10 minutes from home.

Debra’s adult daughters had poignant things to say about how the love their Mom and are protective of her but knew when they met Geoff that he was the right man for their Mom…and for them.

Love a fairy tale ending –don’t you?

I have known Lenny a long time so when he fell madly in love with Joss (and she with him) I was hoping he’d ask me to be their wedding photographer as I have done a lot of photo work for his family…weddings, newborn shoots, family portraits…you name it.

Well they did and I shot the wedding a few days ago in his parent’s backyard in Wayne NJ under a tent.

I was with Joss while she prepared including make-up and hair with the amazing @juliestyles_ (IG). My friend and partner Jed Smith photography attended to photos of the guys getting ready…and everybody grooming the backyard for the wedding.

We had a clear hot day and lots of powerful emotions. A sweet ceremony with hand-written vows in Spanish and we headed off to nearby Packanack Lake for from B&G portraits.

We all partied into the night and crept home dehydrated, content and happy. Love to Joss & Lenny. Looking forward to the newborn session in 39 weeks…LOL!

Love,

Love taking my clients to Ringwood Manor, Skylands Manor and the NJ Botanical Garden. I love it up there and know they will too.

Photography in a beautiful place can be so inspiring!!

My nephew and friend Aaron stopped by our house on the way back home (Jackson, NJ for him) from the NY Renaissance Faire. He wanted to show me the cosplay he was working on and to just stop by.

Aaron is a Witcher –a character from Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels and the great video game series (best played on PC, BTW).

Thought we could create some cool photos in the light rain so I popped a speed light on a light stand, put a trigger on my Nikon D850 and we headed out for a 10 minute photo shoot.

Considering how little planning and time went into this effort I am pretty excited about how the photos came out. We should revisit this when the cosplay is done. Although I don’t think a cosplay is ever done!

Gets me to thinking…a wedding with swords would be pretty cool, right?

Best, Tom
