Katie and AJ headed to the Jersey Shore for their amazing wedding at The Chelsea in Atlantic City, NJ. The ceremony took place at The Margate Community Church. Although the weather didn’t want to cooperate with us, Katie and AJ left plenty of time for formals which gave us the freedom to utilize different areas around the hotel, even using some creative lighting in the parking and valet garage to stay dry but still get amazing photos.  A little rain didn’t stop them from having a great time and enjoying the photo session. Thanks for being brave enough to head out into the tropical storm conditions!! Katie and AJ even braved it out to the roof of the Chelsea  for what may be one of my favorite images of the year. After cocktail hour the guests headed into the reception area for a non stop night of dancing with Masquerade, the band was amazing, nothing like a full band with an awesome horn section, talented singers, professional lighting and great sound. Here are just a few images from Katie and AJ’s day.

Spent the afternoon with Tracey & Chris shooting some engagement photos around  Princeton University campus. I can’t wait for their wedding next May, it’s going to be an amazing wedding. Thank you  for spending the afternoon with me and I am so  happy the weather finally  gave us a weekend to shoot  right before winter arrives. See you guys next May!!!

Finished up a busy month of weddings for October with another great wedding at Friedman Farms in Pennsylvania. Mary and Jake had a very unique wedding with details galour which I love. Their limo of choice was Jake's 56 Chevy. Although it rained on and off all day long, Mary and Jake were not about to let that stop them from going outside for photos. Mary put on her boots and stomped through the mud, you have to love a bride who will do anything for great photos. It was a pleasure working with Creative Video Editing who covered the cinematography, although this is the first time we worked together it was like we had shot together for years always knowing and respecting where each other was at every moment. I always advice clients to ask their photographer or videographer to recommend someone who they have worked with as it allows for great coverage of the day without one or the other interfering with the coverage of the day. Here is a link of a short trailer they put together for the day. Thanks for going the extra mile Mary and Jake for great photos, your wedding was truly unique in every way.

"holy sh*#@ scott!!!  the pictures are incredible!  you absolutely exceeded all of our expectations!  thank you soooo much!  we can't wait to see the rest! "

This week we had the pleasure of shooting at one of my favorite venues in Princeton. Kelly and  Eric chose Jasna Polana for their day and the wedding could not have been more beautiful. It was great working with Kristin from Details of I do, she did an amazing job on the flowers and details for the day, it is always great to have professional details and lighting to really add to the atmosphere and mood of the event. Kelly and Eric chose Mr. Greengenes The Band for the event and they were amazing, probably one of the best bands I have ever heard at a wedding, they had the dance floor packed all night long. Here are just a few images from the day.

It is always nice to shoot at locations I have shot at before, and the Liberty House is a great venue for a reception. Helene and Richard’s ceremony took place at The Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Westfield and then we headed to The Liberty House for the reception. The room looked beautiful and the band The Sensational Soul Cruisers kept the dance floor packed all night playing a mix of Soul, Disco and Motown Hits.

Carlo's Bakery designed the cake and a co-worker of Helene even made Richard a NY Mets cake. Helene’s Dad surprised her right after the kiss in the church with a ventriloquist doll that scared her as a child, I have to admit it scared me a little also. Thank you for a great day guys.
