"If you can only read three guides before booking a photographer, make them these."

Michael Taramona

Venue guides

Detailed planning guides to the New Jersey venues couples ask us about most, written from a photographer's point of view. Each one covers how the light behaves there through the day, where the portraits are, and what the timeline has to bend around. Every venue fact is taken from that venue's own published material and linked at the bottom of the page.

Notes from the field

The journal is where we share what we have learned photographing weddings across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Expect planning guides, honest venue reviews, real wedding stories, and the occasional note on light, timelines, and how to make a wedding day feel unhurried.

Whether you are deciding between a winter or autumn date, choosing a venue, or simply looking for ideas, these pieces are written to be genuinely useful rather than promotional. New entries are added regularly, so check back as the collection grows.

If there is a topic you wish someone would write about before your own wedding, tell us. Many of these guides started as a question from a couple we were working with.
