New Jersey wedding photographer<\/a>\u00a0– photojournalistic style<\/h1>\n

Drawing from a story-telling photojournalistic sensibility; and also from the classic style of wedding photography; with a dash of Fashion flair; and Romance … the intention is to give you images that will forever recall this fantastic day.<\/p>\n

The images on the New Jersey wedding photographer blog will show you the style and consistency of work that you can expect for your own wedding. As an author of several books on photography<\/a>, I\u2019m definitely serious about this stuff!<\/p>\n

The domain name I chose for me wedding & portrait photography blog –\u00a0One Perfect Moment<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0encapsulates an ideal that I strive for with photography. I want to capture essential and distinctive moments. It derives from the idea of the \u2018Decisive Moment\u2019 in photography where everything just falls perfectly into place. Hence \u2026 One Perfect Moment.<\/p>\n

As a wedding photographer,\u00a0my\u00a0style in photography<\/a>\u00a0is more of a collaboration between myself and a couple on their wedding day. We’ll discuss what is important to the bride and groom, and adapt accordingly. So the style is a mixture of photo-journalistic story-telling, and beautiful portraits, along with detail images and candids. Ultimately, I want to give a bride and groom the best wedding photographs that they could have.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to find out more about my wedding photography packages, please\u00a0contact me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My style as a\u00a0wedding photographer<\/a> is modern and flexible, yet there is a touch of the classic. You and I will collaborate with ideas you may have – look at clippings from magazines that you like – drawing from any elements that you’d like to see in the photography of your wedding day. Everything aimed to give you the best possible images of your wedding day.<\/p>\n

I want you to remember the photography as a fun part of your wedding, and not a dreaded intrusion. Even the family formals session will be handled efficiently and in a friendly way \u2013 you\u2019ll have beautifully crisp portraits of all the important people without the hassle of endless hours posing that one might expect.<\/p>\n

With wedding photography, there are 3 main elements to what we should capture – Portraits; the Moments, as well as the wedding day Details. The more traditional approach is portrait-heavy; the photo-journalist approach favors The moments. In-between there somewhere is the better balance … even with modern wedding photography where there is a strong bias towards story-telling. The wedding day portraits will always remain important.<\/p>\n

However, what brides tend to scour magazines and Pinterest for, are the wedding day details. Ideas and inspiration for their own weddings. Bridal magazines know this, and the articles featuring specific weddings are usually details-oriented.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen some of the more purist photo-journalistic wedding photographers scorn this bias towards photographs of the details. “What will you remember in 20 years’ time about your wedding? The color of your bridesmaids’ bouquets, or the people who were with you?”<\/p>\n

Fair point. I’d heartily agree. Yet, it is very solid advice for any wedding photographer that if your client paid for something, you should photograph it. The details of the wedding!<\/p>\n

This year I photographed weddings not only in New Jersey and New York, but also in the cities of Boston and Baltimore, as well as in Maryland and Delaware.<\/p>\n

If any followers of the Tangents blog have family and friends that recently became engaged and \/ or are looking for a wedding photographer, please do contact me. I am still booking for 2013. As I mentioned, I do travel further afield than just NJ, and I also photograph destination weddings. So please feel welcome to recommend me.<\/p>\n
