Cassie and Tony - The Grand Hotel - Album

Tonight we will be at the beautiful Grand Hotel for their "food tasting" meeting some of our current and future clients. Can't wait!! Here is another album from a wedding that we photographed there. Cassie and Tony were married on the beach across from the Hotel and had their reception in the ballroom. The shore area (and Cape May in particular) has special significance to Cassie and Tony because they met while in Coast Guard training. They couldn't have picked a more perfect venue for their wedding and reception.


This was a perfect day for a beach wedding!

This is a 2 page spread in their album.

This is a romantic spread that really shows the love that Cassie and Tony have for each other.

I love this page because it really shows Cassie and Tony relaxing and having fun at their reception.

This is their album cover. The image is printed on metallic paper and encased in a special plexiglass material.
Truly awesome!

Norell and Amalio, The Bradford Estate, Album

Norell and Amalio were married at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Turnersville NJ and had their reception at The Bradford Estate in Hainesport, NJ (prior to its' fabulous renovation). Their album beautifully showcases how the use of wording (and absence of wording) can add to the emotional impact of images. All of our albums are custom designed. You choose your images, wording (if any) and set the artistic tone for the album. We do the rest and create a personalized "work of art" for you.

This is what I mean by "emotional impact" by using carefully chosen and placed wording.

In contrast, this page is striking without wording.

This is one of my favorite shots. We capture this moment from 3 angles; the bride walking down the aisle (from front and back of church) and the groom's face when he first sees "his bride".

We capture LOTS of great candid shots!

Amy and Tim were married on the beach across from The Grand Hotel in Cape May, NJ and had their wedding reception in The Grand's beautiful Ballroom. What a great couple (and family!). They were so easy to work with and obviously have a great deal of fun together. Here are a few of their album pages. Be sure to check out their "Swing Dance" - it was absolutely awesome!


What a beautiful day for a beach wedding!

This a 2 page spread in Amy and Tim's album.

Amy and Tim's album really captures both the fun and romantic side of their relationship.
Everyone was mesmerized by Amy and Tim's swing dance. Awesome!!

Love the Bobble Head Amy and Tim.

Jessica and Greg - The Merion - Album


Finally.... I'm blogging (Yeah!!)  at least for the moment ......

I have been promising to post some of my most recent album designs, so.... here is my first attempt at doing so. I prefer to be designing beautiful albums for our clients rather than posting so every once in awhile I drop off the "social network" scene. I sincerely apologize to those who want to see postings more often.

Anyway,
All of our albums are custom done. (No drag and drop or templates here!) I can incorporate any wording that you want into your album and all of the images are retouched. I take out anything that is unsightly (exit signs, fire boxes etc.) that distract your eye.

Here are a few of my favorite album pages from Jessica and Greg's album. The were married at and had their reception at the beautiful www.themerion.com

These are Greg and Jessica's vows. How awesome is that!
All of these album pages are done in 2 page spreads and obviously each spread has it's own emotional impact.

Our couple's pick the images for their albums and I use my "pixie dust" on them.
This is the last page in their album.

This is one of my favorite covers.
