Guilene and Zagalo Engagement Session at Skylands Manor
This image works best in black and white. Guilene and Zagalo are a great couple. Mary and I really enjoyed creating images of their engagement session. Their wedding will be early June.
It’s another busy weekend for us. Susan and Ken’s wedding in the historic town of Nutley New Jersey tomorrow. We end the weekend with Rachel and Rogers engagement session at the Allentown Rose garden.
Going to be a fun filled weekend of shooting !!!
Guirlene and Zagalo’s Engagement Session at Skylands Manor New Jersey
One of my favorite images from Guirlene and Zagalo’s engagement session. Skylands Manor was the perfect backdrop for this couple engagement session. I am not sure what the flower this is but the colors were vibrant.
This picture was taken near the octagonal Garden. A beautiful rock garden surrounding the octagonal pool was designed so that small plants would easily shown and maintained. Of course we had to take a few images to show the octagonal pool..More to come !!!
Engagement Session at Skylands Manor New Jersey
Anytime you a shooting in an unfamiliar location, this can get interesting. I recommended capturing Guilene and Zalago’s engagement images at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey. Mary and I decided to arrive early and visit
Skylands Manor in New Jersey. If you are not familiar with New Jersey, both locations are about five minutes apart form each other. This was my first trip to Skylands and I as really impressed on how beautiful and ornate the location is. There were even signs posted from a previous wedding. After a few hours of walking around, we headed over to Ringwood Manor. I was disappointed in Rigwood manor as it was in a bit of disrepair. My cell phone rang at 5:00 PM and it turns out Guilene and Zalago’s were in Skylands Manor !!!
I guess we were destined to do their engagement images at Skylands Manor. It was cool and windy but they were such a terrific couple and their love for each other really shows in the images from their engagement session. Hopefully I can post some images tomorrow.
Stephanie and David’s Wedding in North Brunswick New Jersey
This is one of my favorite images from Stephanie and Davids wedding. Their venue was Hotel 999 in North Brunswick New Jersey. The venue did a great job pulling all of the decorations together and all of the last minute preparations. I am not sure who made the candle center pieces for each table but they were all elegant. I can’t say enough about the DJ. DJ E-ROD really kept the reception going and did a great job as an acting wedding coordinator.
First Look or traditional for your Wedding Day
Should you go Traditional or First Look? Something else to consider for your wedding day.
There is an excellent article written on the first look by EverLastDetail and you can read the whole article below:
http://everylastdetailblog.com/wedding-planning/thursday-tips-consider-a-first-look/
The big advantage of the first look is” You will have created spectacular images that you can enjoy for the rest of your life”
I believe another advantage is the stress factor. The first look is less stressful for the bride and groom. As a photographer, you can schedule more time for creating those special images for the bride and groom.
A great article by everylastdetail !!
TIPS ON TUESDAY..Eight Weddings Expenses
I found an interesting article from www.weddingstand.com. Everyone has a budget and many times it is really difficult what to cut back on.
On average, couples that live in Lehigh Valley spend between $21,242 and $35,403 total for their total wedding.
The weddingstand wrote an interesting article on what items not to skimp on and why. On a personal note I would move number three to the bottom of the list but that is just my opinion. I hope you find this article interesting and informative.

The wedding DJ determines whether your reception is a success or failure
Almost no wedding is complete without have a DJ. A DJ can make or break your reception. Many of the weddings I photograph have a DJ who sits behind the DJ console all night. This past week I had the pleasure of working with Eddie from DJ E-ROD. Eddie was able to keep the action moving. He stepped in as the acting as the event coordinator for Stephanie and David’s wedding this past weekend. If you are looking for a talented DJ contact him at DJ_EROD @YAHOO.COM
