How to Use a Nikon Self Timer

I don’t know about you, but I have never been great at taking a selfie. Maybe my arms aren’t long enough. Or maybe I’m too picky about the crop and composition of my photos. Or maybe I just don’t like how I look in the self pose. Either way, I’ve been trying to create more content here at home and the selfies and mirror pics just weren’t cutting it.

NJ Engagement Photo Locations

I love photographing engagement sessions! Its a great time to get to know each other and practice before the wedding day. Many of my grooms are amazing and hired a photographer to capture their proposal. But there are many benefits to having an engagement session with your wedding photographer. Apart from the obvious benefit of having beautiful photos, its also nice to get to know each other and meet before the wedding! Its great practice for the two of you to get used to being in front of the camera, and helps you to get familiar with my posing style.

Garden Shower Ideas

Taylor’s garden party bridal shower was held last weekend at one of my all time favorite venues, The Madison Hotel. The Madison Hotel conservatory is the perfect place for an indoor garden party bridal shower. It boasts the perfect lighting, thriving plants and upscale garden party vibes all year round. With enough space to host a small wedding, it is still small enough to feel intimate for a ladies brunch. I love witnessing the reactions of event guests who arrive in the conservatory for the first time. All the ooh-ing and ahh-ing makes me think the Madison Hotel is one of New Jersey’s best kept secrets, despite its renown reputation.

New York Wedding Photographer

This is a post I have wanted to create for you for the longest time, but I have shot so many New York Weddings that I honestly didn’t know where to start. Its funny because I obviously consider myself a New Jersey Wedding Photographer, I mean I do live in NJ. But the truth is, I spend a LOT of time in the beautiful state of New York and I am definitely a New York Wedding Photographer too!
