Kim and Christian {Married} / The Venitian New Jersey Wedding Photographer

This wedding had been anticipated by Rob and I for quite some time as we've been super-excited to photograph Kim, now Sales Manager at The Palace in Somerset, and her fiance Christian.

It was quite a day! We started out at Salon 527 in Old Bridge, headed over to Kim's mom's home (Roseann, who was simply a doll throughout this whole process helping Kim plan, the perfect MoB) which was decorated immaculately and had some of the best light ever, then off to Nutley to Grace Episcopal Church, then Main Street in Nutley for a few fun shots of our couple and ultimately to The Venetian in Garfield where the night ended with the BEST Viennese hour EVER.

It was great working with my hubby again (and we have two more consecutive wedding weekends together too) along with Kyleigh, Nino, Andres and Leah. And of course, Jeff from Sound Connection had the party up and going all night long!

EnJOY!!!

Animoto Newsletter Part 2!

Hey guys! I'm happy to announce that Rob and I are featured in this months newsletter from Animoto. You can see it here: http://animoto.com/photography/guest/vanessa-joy/part2?utm_source=A4P&utm_campaign=a8efc55944-Photography_Newsletter_August&utm_medium=email

This time we've focused on discussing how to shoot video with a DSLR camera along with some fun stabilizer toys that us photographers are mostly new to. Hope you enjoy it!!

ALSO

Rob and I have OFFICIALLY RELEASED OUR NEW SOFTWARE - PhVusion Effects!! If you haven't heard about this yet, where've you been!? JK :-)

Rob and I have developed a sweet Adobe Photoshop script that allows you to edit video IN PHOTOSHOP!! That's right! You can import video clips from your DSLR, trim them, grab pictures from them, effect them (exposure control, glower, black and white, etc) and BATCH export them to 720 or 1080p! It helps you make you video clips look great next to your edited photos so that you can make slideshows (cough-using animoto-cough) like the one in the article above. :-)

To learn more about it (and hear my husband's super-sexy voice in a tutorial video) go to www.PhVusion.com.

Thanks guys!!!

Carolyn and Mark [Married} - Jumping Brook Country Club Neptune New Jersey Wedding Photographer

This is Rob's and my third weekend in a row (and counting!) in which we're working together on wedding! We've been having such a great time lately implementing some new techniques, trying out new equipment and of course working with some of our favorite people (Nino and Erin joined us for this wedding). During our photo session in Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown, Carolyn and Mark were posing for us and we were just loving their energy and I guess you could tell how much fun we were all having due to it because Carolyn said "They have way too much fun doing this!". And it's true! We have such a great time. :-)

You may remember these guys from their super fun engagement session in Red Bank earlier this year!

Here's some of my personal favs from the day along with their slideshow!

EnJOY!






Used the bridesmaids' dresses as a background!

I definitely stole, ugh I mean, learned, this post from Ahmet. :-)

Ali and Manish {Married} / North Brunswick New Jersey Wedding Photographer

This was such a special treat for me, both photographically and personally. Ever since I started being a wedding photographer I have always wanted to photograph an Indian ceremony. Not only did I get the opportunity to do that, alongside my hubby no less, but I was able to be a part of my friend Ali's wedding day as well. I've known Ali since high school and being honored to photograph her day was simply wonderful.

Ali was the queen of wedding planning since she not only had to orchestrate a wedding day, but a wedding day with two ceremonies, a Catholic/Christian ceremony at Rutger's Kirkpatrick Cathedral, but also an Indian Ceremony as well. She was full of time-lines and to-do lists so that every ran smoothly, but what made her great at being a bride, was that when everything ran a consistent 45 minutes late, she didn't sweat a moment of it, but knew to just enjoy her day and handle everything as it came to her.

We had almost the entire Team Awesome there with Rob, Danny, Nino and Leah, so it was a success all around (and not to mention enjoyable being able to partake in the Indian food that was served...yummm!!!). I hope you enJOY the favorites from the day!!

Morgan and Chris {Married} / The Berkeley Hotel Asbury Park New Jersey Wedding Photographer

This was definitely one of the best weddings this year. We had the whole crew on the photo/cinematography team (Me, Rob, Danny, Nino, Kyleigh and Leah) and we had a blast! Morgan and Chris have been great to work with from the start and their engagement session and engagement video was so much fun to shoot in Long Beach Island.

The team was super-pumped this being the first wedding after our team workshop (video below by Nino - it's just too much fun not to embed in here!) and in addition to the picture, Rob's same-day-edit of the day is amazing as well!! We had a fun time walking down the Asbury Park Boardwalk and shooting by Convention Hall. We saw some pretty interesting characters along the way. Asbury Park has a way of promising these things. :-)
