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

Michael Taramona

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.
