Dinofa’s Get Magnified

May 26, 2009 – 2:50 am

it’s not a party at the dinofa house until somebody breaks out the magnify glass.. i like to call this “magna fun”

lauren and i couldn’t have been more excited for the wedding day of brooke & adam to finally arrive. the wonderful couple had their ceremony on the gorgeous grounds of the linwood country club. brooke is the owner of bfara designs which sells the cutest accessories and gifts for all occasions. she definitely took her design sense and brought it to her wedding day, in a big way. the details and planning paid off, they were super fantasital.. thank you again brooke & adam for being so wonderful to work with – we hope you enjoy the images.

adam is a huge “wine guy” and they had hundreds of wine corks for many detail elements of their wedding. i thought it was appropriate to do a killer ring shot with them. love it!

brooke’s grandmother showed up to the wedding venue and was greeted by her parents at the door, but before they could get over to her – grandpa snuck outside for a little smoochy… how cute is that?

the couple decided to do a “first look” together before their ceremony.. as photographers – we just love love love this idea. the first look with the bride and groom enables us to do portraits before the hectic rush of events that happen after the ceremony. plus the couple can usually make it to happy hour – and who wouldn’t want that…

Kaitlen + Mulcy: Engaged

May 15, 2009 – 11:18 pm

we had been excited in anticipation for the engagement shoot with kaitlen & mulcy down at the historic, congress hall in cape may, new jersey for some time now. kaitlen and my wife lauren were roommates back in college, so finally getting the chance to spend the afternoon with her and her fiance couldn’t have been more of a pleasure. this was our first time shooting in cape may and i really can’t wait to get back to this location for their wedding day next year. it is so amazing!! thanks again for the wonderful afternoon and the dinner you guys treated us to at the lobster house that night. it was an awesome time. enjoy.

Petrella: Family Shoot

May 3, 2009 – 8:24 pm

lauren and i are always a little anxious and excited leading up to a photo session when we have never met our clients before. this was the case with the petrella family earlier this week. the session was a gift from the kids for their parents anniversary. how cool is that!?

i have to say, with the petrella family, it was like we were all best friends from the start – i don’t think lauren and i have laughed so much during a photo shoot. we met them down at kennedy park in somers point, nj and then headed towards linwood where we happened to stumble upon an amazing location within a field of yellow wild flowers. if i didn’t already love my family as much as i do, i would want to be adopted by this crew… (; enjoy the happy.
