      Philadelphia Wedding Photographer, Downingtown, Exton, Chester County
Jess and I were still dating but we were sure already we were going to marry each other, we were dancing together at a friend’s wedding, and in the middle of one of those conversations where everything around you disappears and all there is left is you and the bright future in front of you.

We didn’t even realize that we were being photographed.

As soon as we saw the picture we just knew we needed to have it. I’ve never felt that way about a photograph and came to realize that it wasn’t the photograph but what it represented.

Now we have this image on our wall, right at the entrance of our home. I feel lucky that I get to see this image every day. As soon as I walk inside. It reminds me of what’s important, why I’m here, and to make sure that when life happens (a bad day at work, horrible traffic, kids crying for no reason, appliances breaking on payday, etc.) that I remember what’s truly important, what was said at that moment. The beginning of our lives together as a future family.

I know my children will treasure this picture.

We now have a the record of a moment that has much more value than the mere paper on which it was printed. I’ve decided that this was a gift too important for couples not to have.

This is why through my photographic career I’ve strived to make this moment happen for other couples, and I believe that I’m now giving this to other couples.

Hope you can have such a gift too!

Michelle + Jerry // Wedding

Posted by miguel in Wedding

Locations:

Ceremony: Church of the Sacred Heart, Rochelle Park, NJ
Portrait Session:  Lambert’s Castle, Garrett Mountain NJ.
Reception: Il Tulipano, Cedar Grove, NJ

I was very fortunate to be a second shooter and assistant for the famous Neil van Niekerk this past October. Neil is one of the most well regarded photogs in this industry. Not only he is a great photographer but he ROCKS the on camera flash and has a book to prove it. Neil also goes out of his way to teach others through his other site, Planet Neil where he posts  articles and tutorials about light, flash, metering, etc.  and equipment reviews.

Believe me, the guy knows his stuff !!!!!

Now, not only was a loooong day (3 different locations and a hike to New Jersey), but thankfully Neil turned out also to be a fun person to hang around with (there are rumors of a couple of photogs  singing Born in the USA and New York New York during the reception). I’m extremely grateful for all the knowledge he was able to impart (not only during the event, but also afterward with a “no holds barred” critique).

Below are some of my favorites of the day….

    Very nice. I especially love the look on the bride’s face in the veil shot. She looks so happy and totally in love!

    I think you should do some indian weddings. The colorful dresses of the bride and the guests will be a treat to capture with your camera.
