First Bridal Show

Yes, I finally did it!!  After a long preparation, the day of the show finally arrived.  It wasn’t as busy as I thought it was going to be, but I still consider it to be successful. I had the chance to meet with many other great vendors, Melissa and Jennifer, who are personal trainers, Jim Kelley, who is a great photographer and his wife, and many other great people. This was a small show, but my next show is going to be big! Anyone is more than welcome to stop by and say, “Hi!”  It will be at Radisson Hotel (Freehold Gardens) in Freehold, NJ on October 29th.  Hopefully I will see you there!

 I’d like to thanks to everyone for stopping by my booth, thaaaanks

Teri and Jim, sweetness

Last week I had a great time shooting Teri and Jim for their engagement session. They are both very sweet. I remember when Teri first sent me an email inquiry, I could just see how excited she was. This really boosts me up and gets me excited!! I was looking forward to meeting them for the e-session. We had two awesome locations: Spring Lake and Hoboken, both in NJ. At the first location,Spring Lake, the sun was too bright and I couldn’t really see on the screen of my camera how my exposure was. It helped that I had experience shooting with film where you can’t see the images right on the back of the camera. It was kind of like I was shooting blind, but I had a good idea of how my images would come out. My eye was locked on them, because I wanted to bring out the chemistry they had right in front of me. Hoboken was awesome as well. Many people didn’t recognize the pictures as being taken in Hoboken,or even the US. It was great! Love was all around them! I can’t wait for their wedding day. I can already picture how it will be

here are some of the shots, click here to see them all

after all when I get an email like this, it makes me just love wedding photography even more, it’s such a feeling that i can’t explain.

Canon

Since the beginning of my photography career, I have been a “Canon guy.” Today, I am still a Canon guy and intend to always be one! I just received some of my gear back from them. My camera needed maintenance, calibration, and one of its lenses fixed. It is such a great feeling to know that you have company that genuinely cares about its customers. I’m extremely happy with the quality of their service and how quickly my equipment is returned. Another perk is that Canon is only about 30 minutes away from me!! They have never turned me down. This is customer service at its best! These are the qualities I would like to emulate while taking care of my clients. I want to make sure they not only get the best pictures, album, and slide show; But, great service by me!

Most importantly, I am very excited to have my equipment back. I took some pictures today to ensure that everything is working properly and of course it is!
