When choosing your New Jersey wedding venue, wedding planner/day-of coordination services, venue and your bridal fashion are all huge decisions on how you will experience your wedding day. Choosing your New Jersey Wedding Photographer makes a major impact on how you will walk through your wedding day, the experience you will have and how you will memorialize your wedding looking back on your day for years ahead and passing down your images from this generation to the next with your wedding photos.
Photographing weddings is an art form. Whilst many bride-to-be think that simply anyone with a cell phone or camera can document a wedding day, again, capturing the wedding day is an art that takes years of skill, stamina, creativity, experience, and team work. For your wedding, you should be investing in a seasoned and skilled New Jersey Wedding Photographer, that is not only exceptionally skilled in all forms of Photography, yet has the photography style that reflects the aesthetic you desire to capture throughout your wedding milestones and can curate that style for your wedding welcome party, rehearsal dinner, wedding day and day-after.
“I never thought of myself as doing anything other than telling stories”
– Erich Lessing
When choosing your Wedding Photographer, find one whose work you can imagine yourself in. Works that you feel so deeply connected to that you cannot imagine anyone else capturing your day. You are hiring your Wedding Photographer for their trained artistic eye. Their art shares your wedding day and their artistic/creative message. If you are seeing their images and thinking to yourself, ‘this is how I want to feel on my day. This is how I want to walk through my wedding day.’ Then you know this is your Wedding Photographer. You have found your ‘perfect-person.’
On the wedding day, and in over a decade of capturing beautiful wedding days, we have found there are an abundance of genres captured. Here we will take a moment to describe each Wedding Day Genre that we photograph and our approach in our creative style that we have curated and fine-tuned over the last ten years of Photographing Weddings in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, New England and California.

Documentary and Photojournalism Capturing the Day
To do just that, Michelle uses an organic approach to capturing the wedding day with photojournalism. She finds the beauty in the in-between moments, movement, and capturing the authentic emotion as it unfolds in front of her lens. She captures the moments authentically without interrupting the moments and uses her images to narrate and share your story authentically as the day naturally unfolds. Inserting herself and gaining comfort and confidence with each person who steps in front of her lens, Michelle has the ability to walk into each wedding day and capture the moments that you will look back on years to come naturally as they unfold in front of her lens.
If Michelle finds that the train of the dress needs to be fixed, or if some direction needs to be provided for a more flattering image; Michelle will insert herself into the frame. This is documentary photography approach. The two styles of photography, documentary and photojournalism merge beautifully while curating on wedding days.
