feel the sizzle | kelly+frank

kelly+frank made our job of photographing their wedding so very entertaining and enjoyable. lauren and i had the best time hanging with them and their awesome friends in the bridal party throughout the day. the wedding ceremony took place in ocean city, nj at the saint augustine parish and the reception was held at the seaview golf resort in galloway, nj. thanks to such an amazing group of people, they all made us feel like one of the crew. it was like getting picked first for a dodgeball game in grade school. we would love to photograph a wedding like this a million times over.

congratulations kelly+frank, you both rock. (: enjoy.

haunted hotel wedding | sarai+nick

what would you do if your wedding date fell on halloween night? how about throw a huge costume party at a haunted hotel. sounds logical, right? well, that is exactly what sarai+nick did this year for there halloween themed wedding reception at the historic flanders hotel in ocean city, nj. some believe that the flanders hotel is haunted, which makes it all that much more spookier for a halloween wedding. sarai+nick provided an amazing face painter during their reception for the few guests that forget to wear a costume or just wanted to spice up what they were already rocking. i was thoroughly impressed at all the wedding details that i discovered throughout the night. congratulations sarai+nick – hope your honeymoon in costa rica was amazing. enjoy.

sarai started her day at her parents house with her family and friends. her good friend liza huf did an amazing job on her make-up. plus, liza really knew how to get her boogie on at the party. (:

the greek orthodox holy trinity church in egg harbor township was by far the coolest, most unique church we have photographed for a wedding ceremony. the red carpet aisle was the perfect compliment to the yellow leaves that the two little flowers girls threw as they began the ceremony.

how to rock the beach portrait | shannon+rj

how do you rock beach portraits? you don’t actually shoot the whole session on the beach, that’s how.

as a photographer, i get plenty of requests to head over the beach to do engagement and portrait sessions. don’t get me wrong i love the beach and there are moments that all the elements come together and you can capture an unbelievable photograph. but in general, the beach holds a lot of obstacles for a photographer. photographing couples on the beach means you will be dealing with a massive open space that provides no shelter from the sun. as you’ll see in the images below, i tend to favor shooting near or around the beach for added elements and interest before actually stepping foot on the sand itself. the goal is to provide the best of both worlds for my clients – a little urban fun and a beautiful romantic beach sunset. (:

with that said, a good photograph has more ingredients involved than just the environment where it was shot. i would get nowhere without the awesomeness of my clients. shannon + rj decided they would bring their own dose of awesome power with them to their engagement shoot in ocean city, nj. thank you guys for the opportunity to photograph you during this special time in your lives and going along with all my crazy ideas as we walked around ocean city together. enjoy.

remember what i said before – “it takes all the elements to align just perfectly for an unbelievable beach photo” well, the picture below is my favorite of the day. (: i love the harmony of the dune grass, amazing couple, perfect dip kiss, distant pier, and beautiful sunset. total “WIN” in my book.

ENGAGED | jessica + dave

what should you do if you have never been to ocean city, nj before? how about plan yourself a nice little engagement session with dinofa photography. thats exactly what jessica + dave ended up doing and the photo shoot couldn’t have gone any better. we began the session on 12th street in front of the flanders hotel before walking the streets and boardwalk looking for interesting elements to shoot. as the sun began to set we headed onto the beach to round out our day of awesomeness. lauren and i are seriously looking forward to their wedding day in march 2010. by the looks of their engagement session i expect it to be a ridiculously good time. congrats and enjoy.
